Its surviving people fled to the mountaintops and tried to restore their peaceful lives. Those mountaintops became the many islands of The Great Sea. Many years passed since then, and the people have forgotten about the history of "Old" Hyrule, except as a bedtime story told to children, and in a coming of age ceremony for young boys.<br> | ||

Most of the islands in the '''Great Sea''' are quite small, with little intelligent life inhabiting them. The chief island is [[Windfall Island|Windfall]], which houses various shops and attractions, and has the only major human village, except for a small settlement on [[Outset Island|Outset]], another important location. Aside from these islands, some of the more prominent ones in the Great Sea include: | Most of the islands in the '''Great Sea''' are quite small, with little intelligent life inhabiting them.

Among the remaining islands, abandoned [[Triangle Islands|triangle-shaped isles]], sacred [[Fairy Islands|seashell-shaped islands]], [[Eye Reefs|giant reefs]] and [[Star Isles|archipelagos]] adorn the vast territory of the Great Sea. Additionally, it's told by [[Fishman|Fishmen]] that other islands guard charts leading the location of [[Triforce Shard|sacred golden fragments]] referred to as ''Triumph Forks'', as well as other legendary treasures (notably in [[Fire Mountain]], [[Ice Ring Isle]] and [[Mother & Child Isles]]). | Among the remaining islands, abandoned [[Triangle Islands|triangle-shaped isles]], sacred [[Fairy Islands|seashell-shaped islands]], [[Eye Reefs|giant reefs]] and [[Star Isles|archipelagos]] adorn the vast territory of the Great Sea.

They live on [[Windfall Island|Windfall]] and [[Outset Island]], but some are also scattered around the sea. The [[Rito]] live on [[Dragon Roost Island]] with the Sky Spirit [[Valoo]], and the [[Koroks]] reside on [[Forest Haven]] with the [[Great Deku Tree]]. [[Goron]]s in this game are in the form of [[Goron#The Wind Waker|Traveling Merchants]]. No signs of the [[Kokiri]]s or the [[Zora]]s remain, as they gradually evolved into the aforementioned [[Korok]] and [[Rito]], respectively. Also, a fish creature called Jabun (the aforementioned Water Spirit) is in this game, looking like [[Lord Jabu-Jabu|Jabu-Jabu]] and the Fishmen (the latter inhabiting the waters of the Sea). Finally, there is at least one group of pirates, [[Tetra's Pirate Crew]], along with other seafarers, such as the [[Salvage Corp]]. | ||
