The Wind Waker (item)

Artwork.

The Wind Waker is the primary item found in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker for the GameCube. It is a baton that gives Link the ability to control the direction of the wind, among many other things. With the power of the baton, Link can traverse the entire ocean without having to go through adverse winds. Beyond this, the Wind Waker can also awaken sages, open doors, allow the character to take control of others, and so forth.

Pitches

The baton is used by applying it to one of the X, Y, or Z buttons. Then, the main analog stick can be moved from left to right to change the meter and from top to bottom to adjust the volume from louder to quieter, respectively. The C stick is used to conduct specific notes.

Below is a table of the note translations to actual pitches in relation to each C-Stick position in each meter.

Meter	Analog Stick Position	Unmoved	Right-C	Left-C	Up-C	Down-C
3/4 Time	Center	Low C	A	F	High C	D
4/4 Time	Left	B	A	F	C	D
6/4 Time	Right	D	F#	E	High A	Low A (Earth God's Lyric) or G (Wind God's Aria)

Trivia

• In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Toon Link will pull out his Wind Waker and perform with it as one of the character's taunts. It should also be noted that Toon Link will play the baton in one of his victory poses if he happens to win the match, and that in his trophy and artwork he's holding the Wind Waker.
