Link

Link returns in an all new adventure, the Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. Link is the main character as he is in all the Zelda games. In the Wind Waker, Link is celebrating his 12th birthday in a small fishing town on Outset Island, with his sister Aryll, and his grandmother. His Grandmother gives him his tunic for his birthday, and later, the Hero's Shield. It is customary to dress young boys in the green of fields, once they come of age. Once his sister Aryll is kidnapped by a large bird, Link sets out on his journey to save his sister from the Forsaken Fortress.

Aryll

Aryll is Link's sister. On Link's 12th birthday, she is kidnapped by a large bird named The Helmarog King near the summit of her home on Outset Island. Aryll gives Link her telescope for his birthday, her most precious belonging. The watchtower overlooking the Great Sea from Outset island, is Aryll's favorite place to gaze out at the sea. Aryll, like many other girls with pointed ears across the regions of the Great Sea, have been kidnapped by the large bird, and brought to the Forsaken Fortress.

Grandmother

As Link's grandmother, she is well aware of the Legend of the Hero of Time. The Grandmother looks after both Aryll and Link at their home on Outset Island, since Link and Arill do not have parents to look out for them. Link's Grandmother gives Link his tunic and the Hero's Shield to start out his journey to save Aryll.

Tetra

The captain of a pirate ship and leader of a band of pirates, she is discovered by Link after she is dropped into a forest by the Helmarog King, the large bird. Tetra and the her fellow pirates roam the sea for treasure. Upon her landing in the Forest of Fairies, Tetra is saved by Link, and later guides Link to the Forsaken Fortress to recover Aryll. Although she is a pirate, she will discover that she is actually someone of great importance.

It is very usefuly for Link to buy some of the goods in Beedle's shop, such as a Bait Bag, Hyoi Bear, or some All-Purpose Bait.

The Chieftan, as well as the whole tribe, helps Link on his journey to save his sister, in return for his help. The Chieftan's primary concern is of the great dragon Valoo, who has become ill-tempered. The Chieftan also requests Link to help build courage in his son, Prince Komali.

Prince Komali

Prince Komali, is the son of the Chieftan of the Rito Tribe on Dragon Roost. Like every Rito who reaches adulthood, he must somehow journey to the top of Dragon Roost to receive a scale from the great Valoo, so he can grow wings. However, the great Valoo has become unpredictable, and ill-tempered, and Prince Komali lacks the courage to receive the scale from Valoo. Upon the journey to Dragon Roost, Link must find a way to solve Valoo's problem and strengthen Prince Komali's courage. Prince Komali holds in his hands Din's Pearl, given to him by his grandmother, who used to be Valoo's attendant, and the only one on the island who could understand Valoo.

Valoo

Valoo is the great spirit of the skies, who resides on the peak of Dragon Roost Island, above the Rito Tribe. The once gentle Valoo has grown unpredictable and ill-tempered because of some disturbance on the island. Link, with the help of Medli, journeys to the top of Dragon Roost to defeat the monster disturbing Valoo.

Medli

Medli is the soon to be attendant to the great dragon Valoo. Being able to understand some of the great Valoo's language, Medli is determined to go to Dragon Roost, with the help of Link. As Link's journey progresses, Medli will be awakened by a song conducted by the legendary Wind Waker, and she will realize her true self.
