Uncharted Island

Follow this walkthrough to find the Uncharted Island in The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, solve the springy rock riddle, and obtain the Cyclone Slate.

As you dock at the Uncharted Island, you will notice that there is no map of the island on your top screen. Head due east, defeating any monsters you may encounter. When you come to a springy rock, hit it, and it will tell you about a Golden Chief on the island that can harness the power of cyclones. To find him, you must hit four other springy rocks on the island in a specific order according to a riddle it gives you: "It steers with rudder, then makes a spray! And third, it paddles, then sees a way!"

Now, head east and north, and you will come to a springy rock on a part of the island shaped like a Rudder. This is the first one you must hit. Next, go back down and all the way west to the northwest corner of the island, where you'll come to yet another springy rock, this one on a narrow part of the island shaped like a splash of water. Hit the rock, then go back down again until you come to a raised plateau near the first rock in the shape of a paddle. The third rock you must hit is here. After that, go north and west just a bit for a fourth and final rock near a small pool of water. Hit this rock and a bridge will extend, leading to a small cave.

Inside the cave is Cyclos from Wind Waker, now sporting a shiny new coat of gold paint, who will reward your riddle-solving (or in this case guide-reading) abilities with the Cyclone Slate, which will allow you to travel by cyclone simply by drawing symbols on it. These symbols can be found by hitting the golden frogs you may have seen around the sea with a cannon, who will reward you for blasting them by giving you one of the symbols. Draw the symbol on your slate to return to that spot. Head back out of the cave and back to your ship, and chart a course back to Mercay Island.
