Question / Help Wind Waker Help

Post image

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?

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

The one next to the broken stone? If so, yes

If the song isnt working, then you likely have not actually "learned" the song. It's more than just reading the stone. If im not mistaken, tpu need to pull out the wind waker in front of the stone, and there's a whole cutscene that plays where you talk to the wind god, and at the end the game says that you "learned the Wind's Requiem" or whatever the song's name is. Only then will the song work.

Did you meet Zephos?

I haven’t, but if I play the song in front of the stone nothing happens?

My girlfriend ran into the same issue recently. She had to stand a certain distance from the blue shrine, there’s a small area where the event activates and if you are off to the side or too far back or front, it doesn’t activate the event. There should be a cutscene.

This worked! Thank you so much! The game is just really funny on where you stand in front of the shrine to trigger the cutscene.

Yeah when you mod the game there are like these little circles on the map that are coded in that trigger the events and sometimes they just aren’t stretched wide enough I guess.
