How do I cross the inside of the Great Tree?

I'm inside the Great Tree. In front of me are two floating platforms, hanging from ropes. I can leap across to the first platform, but can't leap to the next, or to the ledge on the left. How in the world do I get to the second platform?

I've tried running back and forth to get the platform to swing. I've tried doing a spin move out of the water, but can't get high enough. The only result is more stillness.


Solution 1:

Use the Gust Bellows to push the platforms apart. Then they will rock back to where you can jump on the next one and make it across.
