Throughout the decriptions, I'll mention islands. Since some people do not 
know where these islands are, I have made an ASCII map of the ocean below.
When you see something like "Dragon Roost Island (F2)", go to the square 
on the map where F and 2 meet.

Official Mini-Games:


Name:          Mail Sorter
Location:      Dragon Roost Island (F2)
Required:      NOTHING
Fun Level:     3/5
Description:   
             On the second floor of the big mail center on the island, talk 
to the guy behind the counter. You will be given the opportunity to help him
work. If you accept, you will be required to sort letters you are given. To 
do this, highlight the box that matches the symbol of the letter. Then toss 
it in. The faster you sort, the more you get payed. Keep going and going 
until the post guy asks you to mail a letter for him. Do so and a day later, 
you will get a letter from the mail guy.

Location:      Anywhere on the ocean (A1-G7)
Required:      Bait and Hero's Bows (no need for arrows)
Fun Level:     3/5
Description:   
             After getting the Hero's Bowq, call up Merman (the talking fish) 
and agree to play his game. What you have to do is shoot him with the bow as he
jumps in the air and back into the water. Everytime you hit him (using only 10 
arrows), you get 10 rupees. If you hit him everytime (with all 10 arrows) you
will win 200 rupees.

this: Talk to the pink haired teacher lady on Windfall Island. She will say 
something about five kids. Exit the school and talk to the kids until they want 
to play hide and go seek. Play it with them. After finding all five, talk to 
the teacher again. Then come out of the school. After a talk with the kids 
again, go back in the school and give 20 Joy Pendants (The Butterfly necklaces)
to get the Cabana Deed. 
  Now sail to the square south of the Tower of The Gods. Now walk
up to the house and show the Cabana Deed to the door. That's right, show a 
piece of paper to a wooden door. You will now be allowed to enter the house. 
Walk to the wall with a picture on it. Now go to the wall opposite of it. 
There should be a messed up looking panting. Press A in front of it and try 
to make the puzzle look like the picture on the opposite wall. Everytime you
complete a puzzle, you get 50 rupees. It's a good money maker and its 
pretty fun, but the puzzles are pretty hard.

guy to play a game. If you've ever played the game Battle Ship, its 
exactly what you do here. You shoot at different squares until you hit 
the hidden ship. Once you've run out of bombs or hit all ships, the game
is over.

             After you have the Deku leaf and big magic meter, head over to
The Flight Control Platform (G2). By playing Wind's Requiem (^ < >) make the 
wind blow northwest. Then talk to the guy on the top platform and pay him 
10 Rupees to enter the contest. 
   The object of this mini game is to fly across the ocen to the big banner. 
In order to do this though, you must fly into the little air spirals, to give
you more lift. More lift=more distance covered faster. 
   If you can get to the banner, you will be given a heart piece. And doesn't
want that?!


Name:          Boating 
Location:      Boating Course (F7)
Required:      NOTHING (Not even the Wind Waker because wind auto sets itself)
Fun Rating:    5/5 (Not really fun itself, but getting all the Rupees is)
Description: Go to the Boating Course (F7). Here you can race against the 
clock to collect a bunch of Rupees (which you can keep). The Rupees appear
on barrels floating in the water. For some of the barrels you have to jump over
them to reach the Rupees (Just hit R to jump). The rest you just run over to
collect the Rupees.
   Everytime you complete it (collect all the rupees) the time limit you are 
given is reduced by 10 seconds. As long as you are fast, you can keep on 
going for a long time collecting a ton of Rupees.

Name:          Hide-And-Go-Seek 
Location:      Windfall Island (D2)
Required:      NOTHING 
Fun Rating:    3/5
Description:   This is really part of getting the Cabana Deed, but its really
a mini-game on its own. Go to the school house (more like room, but whatever) 
and talk to the teacher (Pink haired lady). She will mention five racals that
have been skipping school and other bad stuff. So head outside of the school
house and talk to the boys. They wil challange you to a nice game of 
hide-and-go-seek. Fun! By the way, these boys are known as the Killer Bees.
Scary huh? Anyway, look all around the island for the boys. Look in trees, 
hidden paths, behind the bomb shop, and other odd places.
