Template:Minigame In The Wind Waker, the Windfall Island auction is held in the House of Wealth mansion every night.[1][2] Zunari will allow 1 minute to bid on the items. To make a bid, the player must repeatedly press "A" and offer any amount of Rupees higher than the current bid.[3] Making a bid 10%-20% above the current bid will shock the crowd and prevent them from bidding for several seconds,[4] bidding more than 20% will shock them even longer.[5][6] This can be a valuable strategy to ensure a winning bid towards the end of the auction. Bidding 999 Rupees will automatically win Link the auction as no more bids will be accepted.[7]
The items offered for sale are Treasure Charts #18 and #38, a Piece of Heart and a Joy Pendant. Should any of these items be purchased by another of the townsfolk present, it will be returned and resold at the next auction.[8] Once Link has purchased these four items, nothing will be available and Zunari will comment on how someone has made off with every last auction item.
The auction is participated by a random six of the following townspeople:
