Windfall Island is one of the major islands of the Great Sea in The Wind Waker. It is home to one of the most thriving towns in the Great Sea, rivaled only by Outset Island. Some consider it to be a capital of the great ocean.
Description
Having nice weather and containing grassy fields with flowers and tall trees, the island is a nice place to relax and live. Although it is a small community, mostly everyone knows each other, so everyone is pretty close. With the abundance of shops, houses, game centers, and even a windmill, Windfall Island contains many diverse buildings unlike other islands in which establish its dominant role in the Great Sea.
Story
Link arrives at the island after the King of Red Lions saves him from the ocean, where the Helmaroc King tossed him out of Forsaken Fortress. He awakens in a small cove just off of the northern beach, and the King of Red Lions requests that Link finds a sail. He can purchase one from Zunari for 80 Rupees.
Link returns to the island often throughout his adventure. There are many sidequests available here, and multiple Heart Pieces and other treasures can be found. Because the island is so populated, Link can find many sidequest to perform and complete with Heart Pieces and treasures as rewards.
Points of Interest
Bomb Shop

The Bomb Shop on Windfall Island is the only Bomb Shop in the Great Sea at the start of the game. As a result, the owner of the shop, Bomb-Master Cannon, runs it like a monopoly, and the prices are too high for Link to afford. However, later in the game, the pirates tie up Cannon and steal his bombs because they cannot afford the price and want to get a treasure on Outset Island. After that, he lowers his prices so that even Link can buy them, and Beedle now begins to sell bombs as well.
