Great Sea



The Great Sea is the setting of The Wind Waker. In-game, The Great Sea is restricted to an area of 7x7 1000-unit squares, each containing an island of its own.

History
Many years before TWW begins, the land of Hyrule is flooded by the Gods as a last resort to stop Ganon's forces when The Hero of Time didn't arrive to destory them. Its surviving people flee to the mountain-tops and try to restore peaceful life. Those mountain-tops became the many islands of The Great Sea. Many years pass, and the people forget about the "Old" Hyrule, except in a bedtime story told to children, and in a coming of age ceremony for young boys.
