I didn't speak to the tree again. Yes, I solved the Earth temple first. Very frustrating.

All I can think is that you need to speak to him. I remember that when you do he gives you a message to go looking for Makar.

Still nada. I spoke with the tree and asked the questions that were available. Makar's in the waterfall, I swing in, we talk, he plays, I conduct the Wind God's Aria (^,^,v,>,<,>) and he asks me to keep his practicing a secret. I'm ready to go back to the Wind Temple to make certain I've got the melody right, but I've consulted several walk-throughs and they all indicate the tune I'm playing.

Wait, you did go to the Wind Temple's entrance first, right? You have to play in front of that rock and talk to the ghost dude. You'll know if you did by going to your inventory screen. One of the colored notes should be the Wind God's aria if you got it. If you didn't, head to Gale Isle.

Hey. Problem solved. When I got home a few minutes ago I remembered that the first time I went to the island I did NOT talk to the Deku Tree, and on subsequent tries when I did I did NOT go into the Wind Temple to awaken the sage first. So this time I woke the sage, talked to the tree, THEN played for Makar. This worked.

Thanks for the help. It is appreciated. Love this game.
