How to Get Unlimited Joy Pendants in the Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker

Last Updated: February 11, 2021

Joy Pendants are side items that you can collect while playing the Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker on Nintendo GameCube. Joy Pendants don’t play any major role in the storyline of the game, but they can be traded to a Cabana Deed, a Hero’s Charm, or sold for extra Rupees. Joy Pendants are randomly dropped by enemy Bokoblins in various areas of the game, but there’s one specific way where you can get an unlimited number of them.

Steps

1
Head to the Dragon Roost Mountain. The Dragon Roost Mountain is an island located on the north eastern corner of the map. To get there, move five map tiles north from Outset Island, the starting point. On the fifth tile, move four map tiles east. You’ll eventually find a mountain island with a dragon sitting at the top. This is the Dragon Roost Mountain.
- Map tiles are the square regions of the map. The entire Wind Waker map is divided into 49 map tiles.
2
Enter the Dragon Roost Mountain. Using the left stick on your controller, move towards the foot of the mountain where you’ll see a small, cave-like opening. Enter through this opening and you'll see a boulder. Destroy this boulder. You can do this either with a bomb (Not to be confused with a bomb flower!), or if you have the Power Bracelets, by lifting and throwing the boulder. There will be a small entrance revealed in the ground. Enter it.

3
Go through the door. You will enter a large circular room. Across from where you enter this room are three doors. Enter the one on the right. Once you’ve entered, you’ll find three Bokoblins—goblin-like creatures with purple skins, a single horn on its foreheads, and large pointy ears. Bokoblins are also easily identified with the small sword with a bent tip that they always wield.
4
Equip your Grappling Hook. Open your item menu then select the Grappling Hook from the list of items and press the X, Y, or Z button on your controller to equip the Hook. Now exit the menu.
- The Grappling Hook is a short hook with a long rope attached to it. It is given to you by Medli, a Rito girl. The Grappling Hook is primarily used to reach targets from afar.
5
Steal the Joy Pendants. Once the Bokoblins approaches you, press the button where you equipped the Grappling Hook to fire it at the incoming enemies. The hook will hit the Bokoblins and come back to you with a Joy Pendant attached to it. Repeat the same step with the other Bokoblins.
6
Exit the room and enter back again to reset the Bokoblins' inventories so that you can steal more joy pendants.
7
Repeat until you get the desired number of Joy Pendants. You can always get a Joy Pendant from the two Bokoblins as long as you don’t kill them. If you do kill these monsters, they will spawn back every time you enter the room but will no longer give out Joy Pendants.
