This guide explains what Knight’s Crests are for inThe Wind Wakerand lists several sources where you can find Knight’s Crest drops or chests.
How To Get Knight’s Crest In Zelda: The Wind Waker
There are two ways to get Knight’s Crests inThe Wind Waker: by defeating Darknut enemies, or by finding them in specific chests throughout the world.
The best way to farm Knight’s Crest is to hunt down Darknuts, and always use your Grappling Hook before you defeat them for double the chance to get a Knight’s Crest. If you do this, you’ll all but guarantee that you get a Knight’s Crest from each Darknut you encounter. You will find these enemies within the Tower of the Gods as well asin the unfrozen Hyrule Castle.
If you don’t have enough by the time you finish up in Hyrule Castle, head to the Savage Labyrinth on Outset Island and progress into the later levels when Darknuts begin to appear.
What Are Knight’s Crests Used For In The Wind Waker?
InZelda: The Wind Waker, Knight’s Crests are used to gift to Orca, the swordsman on Outset Island who initially taught Link how to wield the Hero’s Sword. If you return to Orca with 10x Knight’s Crests, he will teach Link a new move: the Hurricane Spin.
This special move allows Link to charge up his blade with Magic, then rapidly spin like a tornado for a few seconds. you may control where Link goes during the spinning animation, though it’s a bit hard to control. This attack will defeat all but the strongest enemies inThe Wind Waker, or enemies that are armored or have on-hit effects (like electrified ChuChus).
