7-> ''"Heya Link! What brings you out and about today? What? Some weird dream? Well that's weird. But I guess I've heard worse. You know what they say about weird dreams, to be rid of their effects, drink some magic potion! As a matter of fact, have a spare, why don't you take it? I'm not really needing it right now and you seem to. So have at it Link!"''

10Isle of the Winds is a VideoGame/ZeldaClassic quest made by Creator/DarkFlameWolf. It is as closely based on VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker as is possible in Zelda Classic. After beating the first dungeon, Link gains use of the Raft to travel between some islands and, later, in the fifth dungeon, gains the Flippers with which to explore all the islands freely. There are a total of ten main islands, each containing a dungeon, as well as several smaller islands scattered throughout the Big Ocean, three of which contain optional dungeons.

12Link of Town Island has been having troubling dreams concerning a forbidden cave on the island. One morning he wakes up after one of these dreams and decides to investigate the cave. His sister gives him his sword to help him on his way. In the depths of the cave, Link confronts a boss monster and gains a piece of the Triforce. He is sent to the dimension of a mysterious great fairy, who tells him that that piece and seven others scattered around the islands are the keys to resolving the disturbing dreams. He returns to his home and tells his sister that he must travel the islands, and she gives him a raft with which to travel. He sets out past forbidding Death Island and out into the Big Ocean, and so begins Dark Flame Wolf's sixth quest.

15!! This game provides examples of:
16%%* AbsurdlySpaciousSewer: Level 5, Pisces.
17* AllJustADream: Not the whole quest, just [[spoiler:the ruined Town Island, which turned out to be Link freely exploring another of the nightmares he was having]].
18%%* BigBoosHaunt: Level 6, Capricorn.
19* BonusLevel: Three of them, on islands in the Big Ocean, each give you a major item, and a fourth, Creator/DarkFlameWolf's [[BrutalBonusLevel Master Dome]], is back.
20* BossRush: Throughout level 9 are the bosses of the eight previous levels, which you must defeat to get the keys that unlock the way to the final boss.
21%%* BubblegloopSwamp: Swamp Island and level 4, Cancer.
22%%* BuildLikeAnEgyptian: Level 7, Gemini.
23%%* ChokePointGeography: The Heart Piece dungeon is a passageway to the Heart Piece out in an isolated bit of the overworld.
24%%* DeathMountain: Waterfall Island and Volcano Island.
25* DiscOneFinalDungeon: The windmill. The level leading up to it feels like the final stretch, with awesome music, use of all items, and a need for all the secret keys from the previous seven levels, and you can't go back. Of course, you don't have all heart containers and haven't seen what's in the Isle of the Winds, and the boss you fight at the end is easy... too easy.
26* DoomedHometown: Actually [[spoiler:another of Link's nightmares that the Triforce pieces have allowed him to explore for real]].
27* FighterMageThief: Each Rupee dungeon has a brawl, then a trap maze, then a block puzzle, thus requiring the skills of all three.
