Previously, Link visited the six Eye Reefs scattered around the Great Sea and found the treasures in their Treasure Charts, which were specialty charts. Now, he will gather Hero's Bow upgrades and then do some new sidequests on Windfall Island.

Windfall Island:

Link resumes on Windfall Island. He boards the King of Red Lions. Then, he conducts the Ballad of Gales and fast-travels to Mother & Child Isles.

Mother & Child Isles (time 0:54):

Link arrives at a fairy fountain in the hollow inside Mother Isle. When he comes here after completing the Forsaken Fortress, a scene takes place with the Queen of Fairies. She imbues his Hero's Bow with new powers. He can now shoot Fire Arrows and Ice Arrows! Note that it costs magic to use these functions. Even so, the queen is a bit creepy.

After exploring the hollow, Link returns to the King of Red Lions. With the Ballad of Gales, he fast-travels to Greatfish Isle.

Greatfish Isle (time 5:18):

Link sets sail northwest. He passes through the Three-Eye Reef square to the west on his way to the Western Fairy Island square.

Western Fairy Island (time 6:06):

Link lands on the island. The entrance to the fairy fountain is blocked by fire. To extinguish the flames, Link hits the switch with the Skull Hammer. Then, he goes inside.

When he approaches the fairy fountain, the Great Fairy speaks to him. She upgrades his arrow capacity to a maximum of 60.

Link goes back outside. Aboard the King of Red Lions, he conducts the Ballad of Gales to fast-travel to the Tower of the Gods.

Tower of the Gods Square (time 8:43):

Link sets sail east. He passes through the Eastern Triangle Island square on his way to the Thorned Fairy Island square.

Thorned Fairy Island (time 9:48):

After taking out a prickly enemy ship, Link lands on Thorned Fairy Island. The entrance to the fairy fountain is blocked by thorny vines. To get rid of them, Link hits the three switches with the Skull Hammer.

Afterwards, he goes inside. When he approaches the fountain, a scene takes place with the Great Fairy. She upgrades his arrow capacity to a maximum of 99. Very good! Too bad Link could not get these upgrades as soon as he got the Hero's Bow.

Outside, Link boards the King of Red Lions. With the Ballad of Gales, he fast-travels to Windfall Island.

Windfall Island (time 12:37):

Link lands at the docks and conducts the Song of Passing to make it nighttime. After saving, he heads into town. He has already gotten the Windmill to start turning, which is a prerequisite to what he is about to do.

Link goes up through Salvatore's minigame. When he talks to Kreeb, he gets some background on the lighthouse.

Link rides a Windmill car up to the lighthouse. He shoots a Fire Arrow into the turning beacon to light it up. A chest appears on the tiny island south of the Bomb Shop.

Link returns to Kreeb. Happy that the lighthouse has been lit up again, Kreeb gives Link Piece of Heart #37!

Afterwards, Link goes to the Bomb Shop and climbs to the back roof. He conducts the Wind's Requiem and makes the wind blow south. Then, he uses the Deku Leaf to glide south to the tiny island. He opens the chest for Piece of Heart #38!

Then, Link heads into town. Between the potion shop and the auction house, he finds and photographs Mila at night. She was one of the girls held captive at the Forsaken Fortress.

Afterwards, he talks to Mila. She asks him to go away. When he moves north towards the stairway, Mila starts moving away. Link follows her surreptitiously around the town. If Link gets to close or she sees him, this sequence resets.

Eventually, Link will find her messing with Zunari's safe. At this point, he approaches her and talks to her. He must respond to her with all the top options: "Ally of justice!", "Sure", "That's terrible", "Very well", "Unfortunately, no", and "Because I'm honest". For setting her straight, she rewards Link with Bottle #4. He now has all four Bottles in the game!

At night, Link can find Mila's Father in the Café Bar. It is not essential to talk to him, but it adds some background.

The description is continued in the comments.
