The Endless Night is an event from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. It is a period of time when a curse is cast over the Great Sea by Ganondorf in an attempt to stop Link from obtaining the Pearls of the Goddesses. During the Endless Night the seas are stormy and the sun never rises even if Link tries to use the effects of the "Song of Passing". During the Endless Night, most characters remain inside and many side quests can’t be finished until it ends.

[edit] Overview

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

After Link and the King of Red Lions arrive at the destroyed Greatfish Isle they are informed by Quill that Jabun has left and is hiding on Outset Island. Link sails to Windfall Island and acquires Bombs from Tetra's Pirate Ship. Immediately after getting them, Tetra uses the Pirate's Charm to catch him red-handed and tells him that he has until morning to get to Jabuun's cave after deducing that this is his intent. Because of the Endless Night, however, there is no imminent threat, and Link uses the bombs to blow open the door leading to Jabun's cave. After Link receives Nayru's Pearl, Ganondorf's curse is broken and the Endless Night ceases.
