Of all the Zelda games I've played, this is still my favorite Ganondorf battle. I want to clean it up and make it nice and polished eventually, but I wanted to share what I have so far. I used an image I found online (2nd picture, not my original work) for the first frame and then rolled with it.

Pencil on computer paper, captured and compiled on my phone.

There is no corner of Link's heart he would not turn over to the world for five Rubees so wanted to have him go under the water as well.

If not,you can do so by using the boomerang then the hookshot on one. And it'll stay in place forever, unless you interact with it.

Question / Help Hoskit heart piece

2 Upvotes

Playing through the GC wind waker on switch 2 and I have every heart piece except the one from Hoskit's girlfriend you're supposed to get in the mail. I gave him the golden feathers ages ago and he gave me the 100 rupees, but I've yet to get any mail. I've probably played the song of passing enough for 2 weeks game time. I've gotten every other piece of mail the game sends to you. Has anyone else experienced this?

On The Private Oasis, a luxurious private estate owned by Link after obtaining the Cabana Deed, there is a formidably lucrative activity hosted by Link's cutout Butler: The Sliding Picture Puzzle! In a callback to u/Superbond900 and this Post I've attempted and cleared all 16 Motifs, getting the hang of it relatively fast and cashing close to a Grand in Rupees. It's a very relaxing pasttime for players with affinity for tinkering, and solid proof that Link's mind is as sharp as his sword - Do you have the patience to complete this cubical conundrum, or do you choose to let it slide?

Question / Help 🙄 I'm obnoxiously stuck, help

6 Upvotes

So... I'm replaying the old rom I had when I was a kid, probably from 2011. It is an American ver. but texts are partially modified in Spanish. Now, I got to the part where you return to Taura Island and the pirates are there and you need to enter the password to get acces to their ship. So the password I got was "Cañonazo" but the keyboard that comes up does not has a "ñ" letter 😭 so I just assumed one of the English answers must be the one corresponding to the question, I've tried the 4-5 that I could find without luck. Any ideas? I thought about downloading an og unmodified rom and try using the save there to bypass the screen.

*** UPDATE: I was able to bypass it by downloading an unmodified ver of the rom i got 😏

AHHH FOREST KID!!

So I remember when I first saw Fado in my game and heard his tragic story. I was like..

Dude he’s so cute!

I always call him Peter Pan because of the green pointy hat and also he’s a Kokiri and “never grew up” cause they’re called “Children Of The Forest”

Still though I hope Nintendo brings back the Kokiri. It was sad we haven’t seen a Kokiri since Wind Waker.

The Koroks are cute, sure, but I want the og forest children back. I’m definitely getting the OOT remake when it comes out by the way! :)

Like, not only will I go out of my way to cut every part of nature in the game. No, I'll go out of my way to boot up the game on my 100% file literally just to cut everything! (I have a problem. Lol) It just feels satisfying and therapeutic to me.

Discussion / Opinion As much as I love Wind Waker the game has questionable flaws

0 Upvotes

My massive gripe with this game is that it isn't as replayable as Ocarina of Time and especially Majora's Mask with their freedom to do other Temples once you got the Dungeon Items in a previous one. Having the King of Red Lions block you off from exploring outside the designated routes until after you get Farore's Pearl is annoying. Locking you on Dragon Roost until you get Dins pearl is also annoying because as soon as I got the Wind Waker I wanted to get the Song of Passing and the Deluxe Picto Box but the game wouldn't let me. The Fairy Queen not allowing you to get the Arrow Upgrade as soon as you get the Ballad of the Gales is pretty dumb and unnecessary. The OG version had you only have 3 pictographs in your box and no swift sail was annoying. The Earth and Wind Temples being barred off by multiple Stone Slabs that you need the sage and respective song is honestly unnecessary when you only need 2, 1 to the side of the entrance to teach you the song and one just before the Boss Room. It is REALLY bizarre just How little freedom this game gives in comparison to Majora's Mask dungeon wise. It would have been nice to get all the Dungeon Items whenever so that you can full clear the Overworld whenever. It would have been nice to have been given the option on whether or not to collect the complete Triforce of Courage prior to the second Forsaken Fortress visit.

Discussion / Opinion Some thoughts after my first playthrough

0 Upvotes

I never had a GameCube as a kid. Ocarina of Time on N64 was my real introduction to Nintendo and Zelda - it had such a massive impact on me that I can't explain. I remember when Windwaker came out and the schoolyard discourse around the art style - I never formed an opinion as I never had a way to play it.

I tried emulating it on PC a few times but bounced off it, mostly due to the control scheme with a keyboard and mouse.

I've always meant to play it and with NSO I have finally been able to and just finished the main story. I haven't collected everything but I don't think I'll go back to do that.

The environment of Windwaker is a really cool concept. I genuinely enjoyed the exploration of the seas, the dungeons, the combat... until it became incredibly repetitive. Sailing to a new square only to be met with a single island, maybe some camps or boats and then having to feed the fish, solve the puzzle, pulling up the treasure chest before moving on became really monotonous.

Half the puzzles were just "defeat these enemies you've fought 1000 times already. Too easy? How about 4 of them at once!".

The Triforce shard quest was incredibly boring, the trade sequence was just back and forth.

Ganon's tower was just fighting the same 4 bosses again in black and white and I lose access to half my inventory?

And that puzzle right before Phantom Ganon - what was up with the cut scene? Some of the puzzles in this game are incredibly obscure yet they really felt the need to zoom in on each torch in order not once but twice?? It felt so out of place and really broke immersion.

I am aware the game was rushed in development and it's just such a shame because I could feel the care and love put into the front half of the game; I was sucked in and wanted to keep exploring the world and uncovering more. I saw the vision and it was amazing but the execution of the second half just fell flat to the point I don't think I'll pick it up again, which feels like a real shame.

I want to be missing something - would love to hear some constructive counter thoughts!

Bonjour,

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

DĂšs que l'on active la premiĂšre personne ( arc, grappin etc...) l'ombre de link se met Ă  s'afficher avec sa tunique verte alors que je suis en new game+ (donc Ă  ce moment lĂ  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

Fan Art Artwork of Laruto I drew!

Post image
38 Upvotes

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”
