Special Chart

In The Wind Waker, Link can obtain a total of 12 Special Charts. Not to be confused with Treasure Charts or Triforce Charts, these Special Charts give specific information to Link as to where to find the locations of the Great Fairies, the Big Octos, and so on. Each of the Special Charts are listed below with their description as well as where to find each one.

Beedle's Chart
Beedle's Chart is obtained in a Postbox after obtaining Bombs from Niko in the pirate ship. It shows all of the Beedle's Shop Ship locations including the Masked Beedle Shop Ship.

Tingle's Chart
Tingle's Chart is received after Link rescues Tingle from his prison in Windfall Island. This chart shows the exact location of Tingle Island, as well as the places where Link can obtain wallet upgrades from the Great Fairies of Northern Fairy Island and Outset Island.

IN-credible Chart
The IN-credible Chart is given to Link by Tingle via mail after the young hero rescues Aryll from the Forsaken Fortress; however, Link must pay a fee of 201 Rupees to read it. The IN-credible Chart lists the locations of all eight Triforce Charts, and, once Link has obtained and translated the Triforce Charts, the locations of the Triforce Shards will be shown as well. Once a Triforce Chart or Shard has been collected, a black cross will appear on the icon for that object.

The chart also points out when a Triforce Chart is found inside of a vessel, namely the Ghost Ship and a Battleship.

Octo Chart
The Octo Chart shows the locations of all six Big Octos scattered throughout the islands of the Great Sea and how many eyes each has. It is found by using Treasure Chart 26 in Northern Triangle Island.

Great Fairy Chart
The Great Fairy Chart illustrates all the locations of the Great Fairies in the game. After obtaining Treasure Chart #41 from Five-Eye Reef, Link can get the Great Fairy Chart from the Four-Eye Reef by pulling it from the bottom of the sea.

Sea Hearts Chart
The Sea Hearts Chart shows all islands with Treasure Charts that lead to a Piece of Heart, and how many of those Charts are on each island. Treasure Chart #32 is required in order to receive this chart in the Boating Course island.

Island Hearts Chart
The Island Hearts Chart reveals all islands with Pieces of Heart and how many there are on each island. It is found by using Treasure Chart #19 on the Flight Control Platform island.

Secret Cave Chart
The Secret Cave Chart demonstrates where all twenty Secret Caves are located in the islands of the Great Sea. To obtain it, Link must use Treasure Chart #13 on Overlook Island.

Light Ring Chart
The Light Ring Chart indicates the location of the Light Rings that appear only under the full moon. By using Treasure Chart #21 on Cyclops Reef, Link can dig this up from the bottom of the sea.

Platform Chart
The Platform Chart reveals the location of all the watchtower platforms in the Great Sea. It can be found by defeating all the enemies on the submarine near the Flight Control Deck.

Submarine Chart
The Submarine Chart shows the locations of all the submarines of the Great Sea. It can be found in a secret cave in the Boating Course island. Link must hit three switches at the same time while avoiding, defeating or distracting the Miniblins.

Ghost Ship Chart
The Ghost Ship Chart allows Link to track the movements of the Ghost Ship. It shows what island the Ghost Ship is at during each phase of the moon. The chart is found on Diamond Steppe Island in the Warp Jar maze. Link requires the Hookshot to enter the maze, then will need to pick the correct jar and avoid or defeat the Floormasters. Once Link has the Ghost Ship Chart, he will be able to enter the Ghost Ship to obtain a Triforce Chart.

Curiously, the man who made the map mysteriously died as soon he had finished it.
