Nayru's Pearl is an Item in The Wind Waker.[1]

Location and Uses

Nayru's Pearl, named after Nayru, the Golden Goddess, is the third and final of three Goddess Pearls that Link obtains. It is initially kept by Jabun on Greatfish Isle; however, when Link travels there, he finds that it has been destroyed by Ganondorf.[2][3] Fortunately, Jabun had sensed him coming and fled to Outset Island.[4] Tetra's Pirate Crew had learned of these events from Quill and sailed to Outset Island to take Nayru's Pearl.[5] However, they failed to break the stone seal over Jabun's cave.[6]

On Windfall Island, Link sees Tetra's Pirate Crew acquiring Bombs and manages to take some from the pirate ship's hold. Tetra gives Link until morning to find Jabun first.[7] Though the voyage would normally take longer than a night, Link and the King of Red Lions manage it due to the endless night caused by Ganon's Curse, which had plagued them since they were at Greatfish Isle.[8] Using the Cannon, Link and the King of Red Lions break the stone slab sealing Jabun's cave. After a discussion with the King of Red Lions, Jabun gives Nayru's Pearl to Link.[9][10] Ganon's Curse is lifted by the power of the Pearl.[11]

Link places Nayru's Pearl in the hands of the statue on Southern Triangle Island to make the Tower of the Gods rise from the Great Sea.

I don't know what they hoped to get, but they immediately set sail for Outset Island and tried to break into the cave." — Quill (The Wind Waker)
  6. "Yet even if you were to go to Outset now, you would not be able to see Jabun. The cave where he hides is sealed with a mighty stone slab that repels all who try to pass it. Why, not even the pirates with their mighty ship could get in..." — Quill (The Wind Waker HD)
  7. "We're going to relax in town and eat our fill of whatever this town has to offer, but we'll be leaving for Outset first thing in the morning. If you manage to find Jabun tonight, then I guess you win. But if you take too long, we'll come sailing right by you tomorrow morning! And believe me, you didn't get ALL of our bombs. You'd better be quick, kid!" — Tetra (The Wind Waker HD)

Perhaps this is the curse that Valoo spoke of? Whatever the reason, if this night does not end, then we need not worry about the pirates overtaking us." — King of Red Lions (The Wind Waker HD)
