Features and Overview

Descriptions
Fishman

Northeast of here is the Forest Haven... They say a truly unique kind of firefly is indigenous to that place. You heard of it, small fry? It emits bursts of light in seven colors! Supposedly it's as beautiful as a rainbow!

If you want to capture one though, you'd best have a bottle to keep it in.

Tingle Tuner

Whoa! The Angular Isles are there!

The Angular Isles are two islands created out of blocks. Link can ascend the larger island by moving blocks and climbing on them. At the top is a chest containing a Piece of Heart. To reach the second island, Link can either latch onto its tree with the Hookshot or glide there with the Deku Leaf. This island has a Secret Cave with a block puzzle that can only be completed with the Mirror Shield. The prize for completing the puzzle is a Treasure Chest containing 200 Rupees.

Lastly, a Piece of Heart can be unveiled from the sea after finding and opening a Treasure Chart found in Forbidden Woods.

Trivia

  • The Angular Isles have the smallest total area of any island in the Great Sea, excluding the three archipelagos (Five-Star Isles, Seven-Star Isles and Star Belt Archipelago).
  • In American English, British English, German, and Italian versions of The Wind Waker, the birthplace of the Great Fairies and the member of Salvage Corp. are stated as Angular Isles in their figurine descriptions.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] It is a mistranslation of "かく島々Kaku Shima-jima", which means "varied islands", and is presumably confused with Angular Isles' Japanese name, "カクカク島Kakukaku-Shima".[10][11] Great Fairy's figurine description is fixed in the German and Italian versions of The Wind Waker HD, but the one for Salvage Corp. remains unchanged in all versions.[6][7][8][9][2][3][4][5]

Nomenclature

The islands are named after their blocky shape. The Japanese name カクカクKaku Kaku is a noun "角Kado/Kaku" with a repetition and is often used as an ideophone of an angular shape.[12]
