In The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, exploring the seven submarines scattered across the Great Sea offers valuable rewards, including Treasure Charts, Heart Pieces, and an Empty Bottle. To efficiently locate and navigate these submarines, follow this comprehensive guide:
Obtaining the Submarine Chart
To pinpoint all submarine locations, acquire the Submarine Chart:
Location: Boating Course (one square south of Forest Haven).
Steps:
- On the larger island, adjust the wind direction northward using the Wind’s Requiem.
- Use the Deku Leaf to glide to the smaller adjacent island.
- Enter the hidden hole to find a grotto filled with endless Miniblins.
- While fending off Miniblins, use the Boomerang to hit all three switches, revealing a chest containing the Submarine Chart.
This chart displays all submarine locations on your sea chart, facilitating easier navigation.
