Whittleton

Whittleton is a village in Spirit Tracks, located within the Forest Realm. It is the home of several lumberjacks, who cut down trees and sell the wood for money. Whittleton is also where Link acquires the Shield, which can be bought for 80 Rupees. If Link speaks to the village's chief, he will tell him that the way to the Forest Temple is through the Lost Woods, then through the Forest Sanctuary where the Lokomo known as Gage resides, who can to help Link on his quest. Other villagers will tell him to pay attention to the tree branches of the Lost Woods, except for the fourth tree.

Whittleton is also known for its abundance of treasure, hidden under the numerous leaf piles scattered about the small village, including Demon Fossils, Bee Larvae, and Wooden Hearts. These small piles can be easily blown apart by the Whirlwind, revealing the contents beneath, if any.

Later in the game, Link can bring the village's chief to Papuchia Village so that he can marry a woman there.

Force Gems
Link must bring the man selling lumber five pieces of Goron Iron so that he can forge himself a new axe. In return, he'll give Link a Force Gem as a sign of gratitude.
