On Outset Island, a young boy named [[Link]] finally comes of age to wear the green of the hero. Link's younger sister [[Aryll]]'s present to him is permission to use her telescope. With it, Link sees a [[Helmaroc King|giant bird]] fly over the island, carrying a young girl in its talons. A [[Tetra's Ship|pirate ship]] is pursuing the bird, firing at it with a cannon. One of the projectiles causes the bird to drop the girl, who lands in a tree in the forest atop the island. Link grabs a sword and rushes off to find the girl. Link learns that her name is [[Tetra]], and that she is the captain of that band of pirates. | On Outset Island, a young boy named [[Link]] finally comes of age to wear the green of the hero.

As Link leads Tetra back to her ship, the bird swoops down and kidnaps Aryll, mistaking her for Tetra. A [[Rito]] postman named [[Quill]] informs the stunned Link and the unsympathetic Tetra of stories of a large bird who kidnapped young girls with long ears and took them to the cursed [[Forsaken Fortress]].<ref>{{Cite|Young girls with long ears like yours have been getting kidnapped, never to be seen again.

Link is recovered by a talking boat, who introduces itself as the [[King of Red Lions]].<ref>{{Cite|I am the King of Red Lions. Do not fear... I am not your enemy.|King of Red Lions|TWW}}</ref> The King tells him of the story behind the shadowy figure at the Forsaken Fortress, revealing it to be Ganondorf. Somehow, the seal of the gods had failed.<ref>{{Cite|Link...I have been watching you since you went to the Forsaken Fortress to rescue your sister. I understand how your desire to protect your sister could give you the courage to fearlessly stand up to anything...But such a bold attempt was foolhardy! I suppose you saw him...

He is the very same Ganon...The emperor of the dark realm the ancient legends speak of...I do not know why the seal of the gods has failed, but now that Ganon has returned, the world is once again being threatened by his evil magic.|King of Red Lions|TWW}}</ref> The King explains to Link that the key to defeating Ganon is locked away in a [[Master Sword|great power]] that can only be wielded after many trials are overcome.<ref>{{Cite|The key to defeating Ganon is locked away in a great power that you can wield only after much toil and hardship.|King of Red Lions|TWW}}</ref> | |||
To access this power, Link must gather the three [[Goddess Pearls]]. First, Link and the King of Red Lions venture to [[Dragon Roost Island]], home of the Rito tribe, in search of Din's Pearl. Before Link takes off, the King gives Link an ancient conductor’s baton called the [[Wind Waker (Item)|Wind Waker]], which he can use to control the wind and navigate the Great Sea easier. Link meets up with Quill again and learns that the Rito are having trouble with the sky spirit [[Valoo]] atop the mountain on the island. Fledgling Rito earn scales from Valoo that allow them to grow their wings, but the dragon has somehow lost control of itself. He also learns that Din's Pearl is in the possession of a young Rito named [[Prince Komali]], who is afraid of earning a scale from Valoo. However, Komali refuses to give the pearl to Link, as it is a gift from his deceased grandmother. With the help of a friendly Rito named [[Medli]], Link ascends the mountain and learns that a large beast named [[Gohma]] is responsible for Valoo's outrage.

Link then sets out for [[Forest Haven]], home of the [[Korok|Koroks]] and the [[Great Deku Tree]], to find Farore's Pearl. The Great Deku Tree gathers his Korok friends to conduct a ceremony to give Link Farore's Pearl, but a Korok named [[Linder]] flies in and informs the Great Deku Tree that their friend [[Makar]] has fallen into the [[Forbidden Woods]], a vine-covered island infested with monsters. The Great Deku Tree immediately requests Link to save Makar from the sinister island, and Link agrees to do so. He finds Makar in the depths of the dungeon and saves him from [[Kalle Demos]], earning him Farore's Pearl from the Great Deku Tree. | Link then sets out for [[Forest Haven]], home of the [[Korok|Koroks]] and the [[Great Deku Tree]], to find Farore's Pearl.

Link and the King of Red Lions set sail for [[Greatfish Isle]] to obtain Nayru's Pearl from the Water Spirit [[Jabun]]. However, they find the island ravaged and Jabun nowhere in sight. Quill arrives and informs Link that Jabun fled to a cave behind Outset Island to hide from Ganondorf. However, he tells Link that the cave is blocked by a stone slab that cannot be penetrated, and that Tetra and her crew of pirates tried to break through it to no avail. Quill tells Link to find the pirates on Windfall Island if he wishes to see Jabun. Link sails there and discovers that the pirates have tied up [[Bomb-Master Cannon]] and are stealing his [[bombs]]. After overhearing [[Gonzo]] telling [[Mako]] the password to enter their ship, Link proceeds to the ship and uses the password to gain entry. He takes the bombs the pirates have stolen for himself and returns to Outset Island to break into Jabun's cave with them. Although he is skeptical about Link, Jabun agrees to hand Nayru's Pearl over to him. Link proceeds to place the Goddess Pearls on their respective statues on the [[Triangle Islands]], which causes the [[Tower of the Gods]] to rise from the depths of the Great Sea. | Link and the King of Red Lions set sail for [[Greatfish Isle]] to obtain Nayru's Pearl from the Water Spirit [[Jabun]].

Link scales the Tower of the Gods and defeats its guardian [[Gohdan]], who opens a portal to the roof of the tower. Link finds a giant bell on the roof and rings it, revealing a golden portal on the waves in front of the tower. Link and the King enter it and travel beneath the waves to find a castle suspended in time. Link explores the castle and finds the [[Master Sword]], the blade of evil's bane capable of banishing Ganondorf. Link pulls the sword out of its pedestal, which restores the flow of time to the castle. Afterwards, Link returns to the Forsaken Fortress and defeats the Helmaroc King while Tetra and her crew rescue Aryll. Link confronts Ganondorf, but the Master Sword proves to be ineffective against him. Ganondorf reveals that while the Master Sword is the blade of evil's bane, it is also the key to sealing his magic. <ref>{{Cite|Foolish child.
