Glitches in The Wind Waker

These are the glitches which are possible to perform in  The Wind Waker. Please read the Glitch Disclaimer Notes before attempting any of the glitches on this page.

Sailing Music in Windfall Island
Effect: The Ocean Overworld Theme will play in Windfall Island

Prerequisites: Ability to play Song of Passing, the Deku Leaf, access to Zunari's Shop after expansion

How To: In Zunari's Shop on Windfall Island, there are rugs where the shop is (once it has been expanded to a regular store). Play the Song of Passing on one of the rugs in Zunari's roof. In order to get to the roof, use the Deku Leaf once completed,the music will change to the Ocean Overworld song. It must be nighttime first, and then switched to daytime in order for it to work.

Unlimited Elixir Soup
Effect: Never run out of Elixir Soup

Prerequisites: A bottle of Elixir Soup, empty bottle

How To: Equip some Elixir Soup, then press the button you assigned it to and the start button at the same time. Then, on the items screen, swap the bottle of Elixir Soup with an empty bottle. Link will drink the Elixir Soup. If you press start, the original Elixir Soup will still be there, as well as half a bottle of it. This can be repeated with the other bottles.

Shooting The King of Red Lions for Rupees
Effect: Ability to shoot the King of Red Lions in the Canon mini-game for points

Prerequisites: Access to the Canon mini-game on Spectacle Island

How To: In this glitch you will need to go to Spectacle Island, and dock your boat where you would fire in the Cannon mini-game. Start the barrel shoot minigame and aim for the King of Red Lions. When hit, the King of Red Lions won't blow up, but the shot still counts as a point. Thus making it easier to acquire prizes.

Sea Hat Glitch
Effect: Freeze a Sea Hat, and make it move in the direction you are.

Prerequisites: Boomerang, access to an island with Sea Hats

How To: Go to an island where Sea Hats live, like Horseshoe Island. Lure one to hover above the ground, then throw the Boomerang at it. If done correctly, when its propeller drops off, and lands on ground, it will become frozen on ground. If Link walks near it, it will move in the direction he is walking.

Make the Killer Bees Disappear
Effect: Make the Killer Bees vanish

Prerequisites: Access to Windfall island

How To: Head to Windfall Island, dock your boat and go to the upper clearing where Linda stands, Ms. Marie's School of Joy and Lenzo's pictobox gallery is located. A group of four little kids (The Killer Bees) should start to circle you. Lure them over the the staircase where Linda stands, the one that leads up to Mila's (then Maggie's) house (with the red door). Walk anywhere within the clearing and they will follow you; however, it is tricky because they will walk away if you're out of bounds. You need to stand at the side of the staircase that leads down further into town. Now, as the Killer Bees circle you, pick one out and start pushing him down the walkway, but make sure he's slammed against the staircase wall as you go. Just walking into them will push them along. Talking to him a little can help, as they usually pause a few seconds after you talk to them. Get about one third of the way down, at least past the leaves hanging over the wall from under the staircase. If done correctly, once you run back up the path, the Killer Bee member should start running into the wall toward the direction of the rest of the Bees, and disappear into the wall! You can repeat this process for all of the Bees.

Note: They will reappear again if you walk into a building, warp, etc.

Windmill Reset
Effect: Restart at the beginning of Windfall Island

Prerequisites: Song of Passing, access to the Windmill on Windfall Island after it has activated

How To: Once you have learned the Song of Passing and activated the Windmill on Windfall Island, jump into one of the Windmill carts. Wait until you're at the bottom of the rotation, then stand on the very edge of the cart, either the left or right side. Play the Song of Passing; this works at night or in daytime. You should see the time of day change, but then Link will yell and fall out of the cart. Link will wake up at the docks.

Pigs Swim on Land
Effect: Pig on Windfall Island will have ripples around it, as if swimming, on land

Prerequisites: Three Skull necklaces (to play the Pig-Sitting game), access to Windfall Island

How To: On Windfall Island, find all three pigs and throw them into the ocean. Then, hand three skull necklaces to the guy by the bomb shop, and he'll ask if you want to play the Pig-Sitting game. Chose yes, and when you go to the pig on the upper level (by Tott and the gravestone) it will have ripples around it as if its swimming, but on land. The other pigs will not run away from you, but glide over the ground slowly.

Molgera Quick Kill
Effect: skip the 3rd and 4th part of Molgera's battle

Prerequisites: Hookshot, at the end of wind temple or in Ganon's tower

How To: During Molgera's battle when he starts to fly around the room ready the hook shot and fire it into his open maw when he gets close. Molgera will lose his tail and become stuck with his weak point exposed, attack. Then he will disappear a few seconds later only to restart his flying attack. Do this twice to finish him off without ever going through his 3rd or 4th phase.

Sliding Skulls
Effect: Skulls sliding along the floor on their own

Prerequisites: Deku Leaf, be in the Earth Temple boss room

How To: Go inside the boss room and blow the skulls on the floor with the deku leaf, when they stop bouncing some of them may slide across the floor in the direction you blew them.

Fly Seagull Inside Outset Island
Effect: Fly a seagull inside of Outset Island

Prerequisites: Hyoi Pear, Stone head covering the Savage Labyrinth removed

How To: Use the Hyoi Pear in any location where a seagull will take it. Once you have control of the seagull, fly up to where the entrance to the Savage Labyrinth is located. Aim the seagull straight for the hole. If the seagull goes in and gets stuck keep flying down and eventually the seagull will go through. In order to get into the second half of the island, fly the seagull towards the section of wall below where the bridge used to be and look for a spot where two surfaces meet at a slight angle. Fly the seagull against this spot and be persistent, and eventually the seagull will slip through.

Pig Inside Outset Island
Effect: make the large pig fall inside of Outset Island

Prerquisites: Large Pig, Iron Boots, Power Bracelets

How To: Pick up the giant pig named after Link, and carry him all the way to where the rope bridge used to be. Once you arrive at the spot, equip the Iron Boots and walk off of the ledge where the bridge used to be, still carrying the pig. If done correctly, the pig should fall through the ground and you should be able to hear the pig swimming in the water. If you perform the seagull inside of the island glitch listed above, you can see the pig trapped inside of the island.

Ghost Link
Effect: Go through a rock

Prerquisites: Power Bracelets, Song of Passing

How To: Go to any island with a big rock, such as Star Island. Pick up the big rock then throw it. Play the Song of Passing. There should be a rock where Link was. Move and Link should go right out of the rock.
