Dragon Roost Island

Dragon Roost Island is in the northeast of the Great Sea in The Wind Waker, and is home to the Rito tribe and the Spirit of the Sky, Valoo. The island can be seen from a great distance, as it consists mainly of a huge mountain which, according to some theories, is Death Mountain. There are many explosive fruits scattered across the island, and many Kargorocs have made it their home.

The first true dungeon, Dragon Roost Cavern, is also situated on this island. After successfully completing it, Link will receive the first of the three Pearls, Din's Pearl.

Wind Shrine
Dragon Roost Island is home to the Wind Shrine, which can be found on the eastern side of the island. This shrine has two stones which honor the Wind Gods, Cyclos and Zephos. Cyclos's stone is broken, but the stone honoring Zephos is intact. Link must use the Wind Waker while facing the monument to learn Wind's Requiem, a song that allows control over the direction of the wind. This song is needed to reach the Forest Haven after receiving Din's Pearl.

Dragon Roost Pond
This pond is located in between the Rito Hall and Dragon Roost Cavern. When Link first encounters it, it has completely dried up. Link must first help Medli fly across the pond, at which point she will give him an Empty Bottle. Using the bottle, the young hero must bring water up to the dried up bomb plants and water them. Now the plants can be picked up and detonated. Link must throw the bomb plants near the giant boulder in the middle of the lakebed and blow it up. At this point, water will flow out of the spring that was beneath the boulder and fill the lakebed. Then, Link can swim to the other side and proceed to the lava pit. Using more bomb plants, he should throw them on the statues so that they fall and make a route across, allowing entrance to the Dragon Roost Cavern.
