Template:Place Dragon Roost Island is a recurring location in The Legend of Zelda series.(TWW)[1] It is located in the northeast of the Great Sea, and is home to the Rito tribe and the Spirit of the Sky, Valoo. The game's second dungeon, Dragon Roost Cavern, is situated on this island. After successfully completing it, Link will receive the first of the three Goddess Pearls, Din's Pearl.

Features and Overview

Dragon Roost Island

Dragon Roost Island can be seen from a great distance, as it primarily consists of a huge mountain. There are many explosive fruits scattered across the island, and many Kargarocs have made it their home. The planted bombs are necessary to blow up some rocks that prevent access to the inner area of the island. After the obstacles are cleared, it is a matter of walking through a wooden passage that leads to the shrine of the Rito tribe.

Around Dragon Roost Island are three secret Treasure Chests to be discovered. The first is in a secret Cave blocked by a boulder near the Wind Shrine. Defeating all the enemies in the cave unlocks a door that leads to a chest containing a Purple Rupee. The second is a cave behind the foot of the island that can be accessed by hovering across the steep rock formations with the help of the Deku Leaf and the Wind Waker. Link must be careful when dealing with Kargarocs while hovering to the cave. Inside is a single Treasure Chest containing an Orange Rupee. The final Treasure Chest is found at the southwestern end of the island, atop a boulder high up against the wall of Dragon Roost. Growing near the boulder are several Bomb Flowers. Detonating one of the Bomb Flowers by piercing it with an Arrow or using a Hyoi Pear to bring a Seagull up to touch it engages a chain reaction; when the Bomb Flower nearest to the boulder explodes, the boulder will crumble and the Treasure Chest on top of it will fall to the ground. Inside this chest is a Silver Rupee.

Wind Shrine

The 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 two 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 gives Link control over the direction of the wind. This song is needed to reach the Forest Haven after receiving Din's Pearl.

Rito Aerie

The Rito Aerie is a small cavern close to the island base where the Rito make their home.[2] The Aerie consists of two floors. The main floor has two entrances, one that leads to the base of the island, and another that leads to the Dragon Roost Pond. The Rito Aerie doubles as the headquarters of the Island Postal Service, where the Rito postmen receive mail to be sorted and delivered. Koboli, the Aerie's mail sorter, can be found working on the second floor.

Dragon Roost Pond

This Pond is located in between the Rito Aerie and Dragon Roost Cavern. When Link first encounters it, it is 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 desiccated bomb plants and water them. After this is done, the plants can be picked up and detonated. Link must throw the bomb plants near the giant boulder in the middle of the Pond and blow it up. At this point, water will flow out of the spring beneath the boulder and fill the Pond. Then, Link can swim to the other side and proceed to the lava pit. Using more bomb plants, he must throw them on the statues so that they fall and make a route across, allowing entrance to the Dragon Roost Cavern.
