As in the previous games, a "trading sequence" quest can be found.

In The Wind Waker, it's a bit different because everything takes place in only three places: the Mother and Child Isles (B2), the Greatfish Isle (on the raft) (B4) and the Bomb Island (F5), and it can be completed in different ways. Here are the possible routes.

You have to own the Town Flower to have the Sea Flower and so on.
