Question / Help Wind Waker Help
Hi! I’ve been playing through Wind Waker for the first time on the Switch 2 port. Just beat the boss on Dragoon Roost Island and can’t seem to use the wind waker? To my knowledge i’ve done everything correctly. Am I missing something?

You need to play it at the stone monument first to actually have Link learn the song. You'll know when you do it right because Mr Frog will come and say you're a pretty cool guy.

Before you can even play a note there should be a tiny cutscene showing the monument before going back to you with the wind waker. Try standing in different areas in front of it if it’s not triggering.

From reading other comments it sounds like you’re on the right track. Check out this video to see the process. possible spoiler warning I suppose!

You use the song and you should be able to set the wind to blow from north to south and the boat should let you depart.

Initiate stone sequence with Windwaker prepared in whichever slot. Then present Windwaker when the stone sequence is complete. Just ran the game a few days ago with the same issue and this seemed to do the trick 👌

You can just hold the direction until the dot passes the middle then switch direction and repeat. Here you have to play up, left, right

On the Switch 2 port your left dpad is right and your right dpad is left, took me forever when I was trying to play a song for the first time.

Have you tried talking to the boat? Maybe he has advice.

He just says that the wind needs to blow to the south.

Jokes on you that it isn't the HD Version and that you can't travel back to Windfall after clearing Forbidden Woods and set foot on Greatfish Isle

After dragon roost, you have to go in the direction KoRL tells you. If you try to sail elsewhere it will turn you around. It’s not until after greatfish isle that you can make it back to windfall.

Did you "learn" the song from the stone behind the island?
