It's a Secret to Everybody

Look around in the pond for a clue about who this wrecked raft may belong to.

Description

A destroyed raft rests along the shoreline. Considering this is only a small pond, it is not clear as to how it ended up here, although looking at the trees tells you that the water level may not be constant.

Perhaps a little exploration in the area might uncover more clues...

Completion

A water-logged pack rests at the bottom of the pond.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 125 experience (7 50 at max. level)

The pack is just a few steps south of the wreckage submerged in water.

Lovely Legend of Zelda tribute, extremely fun quest, and the end rewards are hilarious as well :) (Linken's Boomerang - https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=11905 https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=11905)

Make sure if you find the boat to get the back pack & open the pack to complete both quests. Bag with back back is in the water south of boat .

The whole series is worth just shy of 60k experience (56.9k). It requires a lot of travel between far-flung corners of Kalimdor. Definitely worth picking up though.

Most probably a Legend of Zelda : Link's Awakening, where you wind up on an island after your ship wrecks.

You might want to combine these two quest series, as they both start in Un'Goro and require you to travel to the same NPC up in Winterspring.

Be prepared for a lot of cross-country flying. I've flown across Kalimdor longways twice and I'm not even done The Videre Elixir yet.

I havnt started this quest yet and I wont for a couple more lvls, but I think any questline that give 56900 xp just for handins with no kills is a good quest line, as it happens the reward is a great trinket which can be used much like the rogue throwing knifes, this is excellent for bg's, if your going to quest, why not getimba xp and great rewards :)

Yes, there is a tremendous amount of traveling involved, but for an old Legend of Zelda fan like myself the quest series was a real delight. The rewards are fun and there is a huge amount of experience rewarded as well. It's well worth doing, in my opinion.

Another note on the Legend of Zelda reference:

The name of the quest is most likely from the hidden moblins who give you money when you find their cave (When you walk in, ""IT'S A SECRECT TO EVERYBODY"" is printed on the screen).

When I started this quest I was a level 46 Warlock, if you do this be prepared about 1/2 way into the quest to get some help from a level 53+ (or a 70) so when you start the part of the quest where you have to get the tree core from the treants in felwood you won't die everytime, the 70 will also come in handy at the end. And just some info here, even though i was 2 bars from level 47 i made it all the way from lvl 46 to 1/2 way through 48 by doing this quest

Worth doing because it gets you 85,950 total XP after all is said and done, JUST from the quest rewards, ignoring exploration and killing XP.

I can only reccomend this chain-quest...
because you get 2 greens at the end and you get 82256xp for whole chain

I could have sworn I posted this before but here's a list of all the referances i could find I love LoZ or legend of zelda so for blizzard to honour the best rpg like this is awsome.

1) we will start with the raft( In link's awakening our hero link in stranded on an island after his raft crashs with no memory of how he got there)
2) In each dungon you have to collect 3 items a map a compass and a key.
3) in every zelda game you can/have to lvl up you sword.
4) to do so in majoras mask you have to give your sword to a gentleman who uses the hotspring to lvl up your sword as well in ""A Link to the past"" you have to throw your sword boomarang and shield in to a hotspring.
5) in almost every zelda game you get a bomarang
6)in every game i can think of you can push the grave stones back to reveal secret's
7) the first quest title usally appeard when you found a secret room in which a man would give or take away money
8)the silver heart totem is a refrence to several games namely ""A Link To the Past"" in which you must use silver arrows to dispel the main boss""gannon"" invisable arura
9) the second last comes from the title of the second game ""Legend of Zelda: Links adventure
10) the title of the last quest come from the first game In where you get your first sword the guy that gives it to you say's ""It's dangerous to go alone""
11)blazerrunner looks alot like gannon
12) the golden flame is in the shape of a triangle just like the tri force that you must collect from almost every game.

Im sure iv missed some so if you see one i didnt let me know and i will gladly throw it on this list with credit to who found it

I noticed another legend of zelda piece. From legend of Zelda link to the past (I think thats the one) For nintendo. One of the people in it says ""east most peninsula is the key"", back then I didnt know what that meant. Lol

This is for the aquamentis part of the story.

This is a 13 part chain quest that will have you running around like a chicken with its head cut off
:P

Edit 2: Although it does give around maybe 10 bars of EXP doing the whole thing :P

the old world flight points will annoy thie ^&*! out of you in this quest, as flying between un'goro, winterspring, tanaris, feralas, felwood is about 10 minutes each way

As anyone going for the ""Loremaster of Kalimdor"" achievement will know, it is very much worth it to make sure that you have done this quest chain... I had searched high and low through every zone in Kalimdor for those last 10 or so quests that I needed. I had thought I'd done it on my main, but in desperation trying to find those last few quests I needed, I made the trip to Un'Goro and discovered that I hadn't even started it. So I highly recommend double checking to make sure you've done this chain if you're going for that achievement! The travel time is worth it for that!

I'm surprised this has never been posted, or maybe i'm just crazy. I was looking around the map for the lake as i got into Un'goro on an alt. I noticed one lake looked vaguely like a rooster. LoZ is famous for the chickens/roosters you can find in-game, which, upon being attacked for long enough, will call a swarm of it's feathery comrades from off screen that will fly by you and damage you if you are hit. Sure enough, the rooster shaped lake is the one that contains the boat to start the questline.

Another purposeful reference or me just looking too deep into it. You decide.

When you start this Questline, do know that you will have to travel several times over azeroth, including that you at one point have to find a npc in winterspring, you might have to concider becoming allies with the timbermaw, or just become unfriendly, like you can use their tunnels. And you will face alot of tasks, walking back and there, and in addiction in the end have to fight an elite elemental

I'm fairly certain the Link(en) in this Chain is the Wind Waker one. Here's my reasoning:

Raft crashed (looks like a boat to me)
Noted in the first quest's description that the water level could have been much higher (Great Sea)
Linken is a Gnome, very short. (Much like like the Link in Wind Waker)

By Xull on 12/29/2009 (Patch 3.1.3)
If you are trying to complete the Loremaster Achievement and you have found you diddnt do this you just hit the jackpot. Although this shows as only a chain of three quests, if you are patient when you hand in the third part and wait for Donova Snowdon in Winterspring after she wanders off, you will pick up another chain of ten quests but be patient a minute or so or you'll miss out.

Good luck.

The wrecked boat is still there, but the quest is gone. Very disappointing.

Maybe the ship part is based of Links Awakening. But the quest title is based from the first Zelda game on the original Nintendo. In that dame when you found a secret area on the overworld map and went inside sometimes an NPC would give you free rupees. And the NPC would say ""It's a secret to everybody"".

So the quest title is directly from the first Zelda game on the original Nintendo.

THIS. Was the very best quest chain in ALL of Azeroth (and beyond). Took you on great adventure from snow covered mountains, scorched desert, and lush tropics with a volcano. Linkin is the very best NPC that ever was.

The very best item from this entire chain is the Faded Photograph*. Such a great snapshot of memories gone by. Luckily I saved mine and I take it out to view every few weeks or so.

Poor lil Linkin had the amnesia. It was a great pleasure to help him on all 5 of my toons from both factions.

LONG LIVE LINKIN!
