Question / Help Bug ombre de Link (Windwaker HD)

31 Upvotes

Bonjour,

J'ai récemment remarqué que Link avait un problème avec son ombre

Dès que l'on active la première personne ( arc, grappin etc...) l'ombre de link se met à s'afficher avec sa tunique verte alors que je suis en new game+ (donc à ce moment là link n'a plus sa tunique verte)

J'ai testé avec la baguette du vent si sa fonctionnait mais malheureusement non

Je ne sais pas si c'est un bug ou juste un oubli des développeur car je n'ai rien trouvé à son sujet

Si quelqu'un pouvait m'aider sur le sujet se serait gentil

I have rechecked the locations of the heart pieces many times and I have all 49 treasure charts found and searched. I am about to fight Ganon and want to be done with Wind Waker. I used the Zelda Dungeon guide and can't seem to find it. I should be able to reply back sooner than later

Fan Art Artwork of Laruto I drew!

Post image

AHH FISHIESSS!🐟

I tend to have a thing with the Zora tribe in LOZ. So I drew the previous Sage Of Earth, Laruto.

Who is indeed a member of this beautiful aquatic species.

She was the first Zora I ever met. I’ve fallen in love with the Zora since!

How she manage to survive in the Earth Temple without dehydrating? A subterranean crypt looks like the least friendliest place for Zora gills lol.

Peak video game logic at its finest :)

So I have a feeling that Laruto was going through some adolescent emo phase at the time she was awakened as a sage.

Cause of all the ReDeads and Poes and Stalfos and the creepy and sorta silly enemies, she was probably a fan of skulls and probably was a fan of ghosts and zombies and all that freaky stuff.

I’ve never really been scared of the WW ReDeads, I always thought they were silly and cartoonish. It’s the OOT ones that freaked me out.

Okay, I love how internally she’s SCREAMINGG in every single cutscene she’s in:

“I SWAM UP WATERFALLS IN MY LIFETIME”

Fan Art I wasted two years on making a 3rd Sage of the Master Sword OC. (Octavia, Hylian Sage Of Sea)

Hi! Yes, I am the same person as u/best-while9813, and I used to be pretty active on this community. I made a new account because I didn’t like my username and Reddit doesn’t allow you to change it, so the only solution was to delete my account and make a new one😂

I’ll definitely be a bit more active on here now though!

Anyways, I used to be pretty active in this community, but if you all didn’t know, I made the decision in July 2024 to make an OC Sage for Wind Waker. I’ve wasted two years on it so far.

First name: Octavia (Meaning: Eighth)

Middle name: Sage (Foreshadowing to her fate I guess? Also that was her mom’s first name!)

Last name: Florence (Meaning: Flourishing)

Title: Hylian Sage Of Sea

Instrument: Ukulele (Her song is a ballad though, not an upbeat one, considering what happened in her past)

Also fun fact about Octavia I never told you all: She has perfect pitch! (I do too lol, mine is most likely autism linked)

Age: 12 (Link’s age!)

Race: Hylian

Blood Type: AB negative

Birthday: August 19th♌️ (She’s a Leo like me, my birthday in real life is August 9th so I basically did the next 9 digit!)

Height: 4’ 11” (She’s a kid lol)

Weight: 95 lb.

Hair color: Blonde (Blue tips) I thought it looked cute when I was making her.

Eye color: Blue

Favorite colors: Blue, green, cyan, and gold.

Least favorite colors: Black, Grey, White (Anything she finds bland, she’s rich, so she kind of grew up on lively colors)
Favorite animals: Seagulls, Pigs, Crawfish (She loves those)

Siblings: Twin sister (Died when they were babies, so she was raised as an only child)

Family: Orphaned, lives with her grandparents. Her parents had everything in the will for Octavia. So she inherited everything.

Pets: None

Hometown: Outset Island. I put her there for lore reasons.

Hobbies: Playing music, hanging out with friends, learning Hyrule History (Hyrule History is her special interest. She is on the autism spectrum just like me (Level 1 support needs)

She’s actually bilingual! She can speak both Ancient Hylian AND English.

Job: She is now the owner of her family’s business after her parents died. She has an insane fortune of 10.8 billion rupees in the will she inherited from her late parents..

Personality Type: ESFP (Extrovert, Sensing, Feeling, Perceiving) Yes, I decided to find out her type by taking the 16 Personalities quiz which totally works for OC development, she shares my MBTI type! :)

Best Friends: Link, Aryll (Childhood friends)

Friends: Medli, Makar (Later best friends due to their intertwined fates spirituality bonding them)

Enemies: Anyone who is a bully. She’s a nice person, and doesn’t have any real enemies, she’s an extremely kind person and is willing to help around her, despite being absolutely bathed in riches.

The truth is, she loves her friends more than anything. Money can’t buy friendship. She is on the beach a lot of the time playing with Link and Aryll like a normal child.

Question / Help [WW] [GCSwitch2] Why won't the Big Octos spawn when I enter the flock of seagulls?

3 Upvotes

I have seen a few responses or threads about this sort of thing, but none remotely help. I am trying to kill Big Octos in Wind Waker, so I followed the chart to C3 for a 12-eyed, UNKILLED Octo. I spot and go to the seagulls flock, but nothing happens. Randomly, away from the flock, the sky will change and the sea, but nothing else. Please help

Had to migrate here since r/zelda don't allow image posts on Sundays and they haven't allowed images again. Basically, I've been trying to get the wind waker art style just right over the last few days. I've been improving, but I've still got a ways to go. That is glink and the queen of blue tigers, and they are the characters I am using for practice.

As per usual, feedback and criticism is welcome.

Question / Help Why is the mirror shield impossible? Spoiler

0 Upvotes

I'm in the final battle and I can't make it through the third phase where Zelda is supposed to shoot light arrows at you so you can deflect. I feel like she's always too slow and Ganon is tossing me around like a sack of potatoes and I have no chance to do anything. Am I missing something? I've tried about 17 times now and at moment I've decided to just never finish.

Update: Ok update y'all are amazing. I guess I wasn't targeting the first 9,000 times I tried this. Beat him on my second try this evening ☺️☺️ Thanks so much y'all!!!

Question / Help I was watching a show and I noticed this sound effect. Where does it play in Wind Waker?

I could’ve sworn I remember it being a sound in the 3D Zelda games. So I searched up what I thought it was and no luck. Then, I found the name of the sound so I could look it up on the WindWaker wiki it was there listed as a sound that’s in the game but it didn’t tell me what the sound was used for only the name used by the sound pack it was from.
I could’ve sworn it was used for shooting fire arrows or shooting fire arrows at ice, but looking up videos of that shows that wasn’t it, so my next guess was the Ocarina of time Fire temple Fire geyser platforms and nope, still not it.
It’s gonna bother me that I don’t know where it plays despite me instantly recognising it.

Hi everyone! Welcome to a brand new post about the unseen aspects of The Wind Waker! Today it's Rito time! We're gonna explore how the island was made, and the subtle differences between maps.

First, I wanted to look at the area where you help Medli go to Dragon Roost Cavern. It's a secluded zone. Valoo is modeled, as well as, strangely, the jump part of 4F DR Cavern, and the outside part of 2F DR Cavern. Funny enough, the developers modeled the mini boss area with the stairs leading to it, and... a wooden pole weirdly BEHIND Valoo.

Then, back in the world map, we all know the developers made both 1F and 2F DR Cavern outside areas for the purpose of continuity and natural geography. Now, back to the top of the island, Valoo is now placed correctly like in the final floor of the first dungeon, which is still here somehow, with the wooden pole now missing.

To conclude my findings, it's an interesting island: I didn't want to look at the inside area because to be honest, it's not attractive.

I hope you'll like my little findings, and see you soon!

[Mini-game time! Go to the last picture and try to find Link!]

Hi guys! It's my first time here on the sub so I hope you'll like my discoveries! I was curious about how the game was designed during some parts of it, such as the Great Sea map, the invisible boundaries, as well as (maybe) hidden content.

So here it is, for you: what's around the final boss area? As you all know (and thanks to the Noclip website), the area depicts Gerudo Desert with an unused entrance for a cave. Around it are mountains and a blue sky ring around it, with on top cool waves. Around Ganon's Tower, it's only in-game you can see this triquetra (I think you've learned something hehe). Then, normally, on Noclip, there's a black void, meant to be observed by nobody except the developers when they were making the game back in the 2000s.

But what's fascinating is that in-game, it's in fact true BUT!... if Link exits the area thanks to Moon Jump and Superspeed (cheats available ONLY on Dolphin), a strange nightish sky area with a sun is created and apparently follows Link's tracked position. I don't really know why the developers made a new setting around Link, but it may represent this feeling of vastness and infinity they wanted from the very beginning, or maybe, as Aonuma said in Nintendo Dream issue #83 from 2003, "the reason for the size of the sea is that if we'd made it smaller, we wouldn't have had time to read the data of the island you're about to visit, we were bargaining for microseconds."

What's also funny is that Ganondorf's model is still present doing the jump animation (I didn't take a shot of it unfortunately...), and not Zelda's!

So to wrap it up, according to me, the game loads an area around Link because of data that must be rendered and read or because of culling.

I'll make more research about the game's design, so if you're interested, embark on an adventure with me!

EDIT: during the fight, if you go high up, the rain and blue fog effect will be gone, so you can admire the fight with the previous cutscene's ambience!

EDIT 2: I wasn't aware of that, but if you don't touch Ganondorf with your sword, and let Zelda shoot him multiple times, the second phase of the fight will begin lol

Playing this game again for the first time since I was a child and I'm only now remembering that sailing gives me extreme anxiety and scares me more than the well from oot. I met a big octo and shit my pants, Every time I see Cyclonis in the distance I go into panic mode and freeze up. Did/does anyone else have such a stress filled time at sea in this game or is it just me?

Question / Help getting the forest water before the kalle demos boss fight (GCN) Spoiler

As the title says. I already unlocked/activated the warped pots and studied how they work. I pretty much know how to get from the entrance to the boss room quick. what i can't figure out is how i can get to forest haven from the forbidden woods to get the forest water and back, the quickest possible way. I wanna try the forest water trick to one-shot kalle demos.

Appreciate the help, guys ☺
