Wind Waker: A compass that doesn’t point north.

 A compass that doesn’t point north.

Compass: Generally, and in Wind Waker, the compass is a dungeon-specific item that shows where treasure, bosses, and other notable features of a dungeon are on the dungeon map. If you’ve found the compass before the dungeon map, you still see where the points of interest are, but you don’t get the room layout until you visit the room or find the map. Compasses are usually found after dungeon maps while exploring the various dungeons of the game.


This compass points to your heart's desire. As most people are conflicted or unsure about what they really want, this compass is usually assumed to be a broken bit of junk. For those few who can really focus on what they truly want, there is no telling where this compass could lead.

----------

I drew Captain Jack’s compass. I’m not hiding that or being coy. I bet there are a ton of homebrew games out there where this compass has popped up in one version or another.

If you are really not into the Pirates of the Caribbean compass, just imagine this is a Wayfinder from Pathfinder. A magical compass with special powers and an odd affinity for Ion Stones. 

Be excellent to everyone.
