Guides / The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
Forsaken Fortress
Link infiltrates this pirate-held stronghold to rescue his kidnapped sister Aryll, but loses his sword during the catapult launch inside. You must sneak past searchlights and guards without a primary weapon to reach the highest tower where Aryll is imprisoned. Once you retrieve your sword and reach Aryll's cell, the Helmaroc King discovers Link and throws him out into the sea, ending the visit.
Items

Enemies
Carries a lantern or weapon; guards the searchlight towers and patrols the walkways.
Large spear-wielding guards that patrol corridors; will spot and imprison Link if he is seen without a barrel.
Swarming small imp-like enemies that attack in groups with tiny pitchforks.
Can steal Rupees from Link if they bump into him.
Tips
- Hide inside wooden barrels and only move when the Moblins are facing away to avoid detection.
- If caught by Moblins, Link is thrown into a jail cell; use the table and climb through the vent hole behind the vase to escape.
- Defeat the Bokoblins manning the searchlights first so you can cross the courtyard areas in darkness without setting off the alarm.
