Blade Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 Magic armour. You get it at Windfall at the end of the short trading sequence. You lose rupees instead of hearts when hit. Something that is useful for Hero Mode then im imagining.
Mokong Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 Magic armour. You get it at Windfall at the end of the short trading sequence. You lose rupees instead of hearts when hit. Short? Well that's an understatement haha
Ronnie Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 Short? Well that's an understatement haha It's only three trades, that's pretty short compared to other Zelda games.
Jonnas Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 Wait a second... I remember that being Purple and simply reducing damage taken from hits. Did you buy it off Zunari (the Eskimo guy)? If you didn't, that might be what you're missing.

If you didn't, that might be what you're missing. Yeah I got it from him. That is probably what it does, I've never used it. Still seems odd to have an empty space in the inventory.
Mokong Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 It's only three trades, that's pretty short compared to other Zelda games. What!!!!! You mean you only need to do 3 trades to get it? I did all the trades for all the items before I went back for it
Ronnie Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 It's just the three flowers? Didn't think there was anything else
Jimbob Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 It's just the three flowers? Didn't think there was anything else But.......... there are many other trades to be done to get pieces of heart etc.
Mokong Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 It's just the three flowers? Didn't think there was anything else lol. you my friend have a lot of work to do go hit those high seas. and may the wind be ever at your back!
Sheikah Posted November 24, 2013 Posted November 24, 2013 Been playing through this a lot the last few days. It reminds me what a great game Nintendo made and I feel kinda sad that their last few Zelda titles haven't been as good. Looks sublime on my TV too. I would really like a sequel to this with even more islands/stuff to do in the sea.
nekunando Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 Ahh.. my brother bought this for himself a couple of days ago and I went down to see it in the flesh this evening. It looks ridiculously good and I MUST HAVE IT I knew it was going to look amazing but it wasn't until I saw it being played for real on Wii U that it really hit me how gorgeous it all is. I've been wanted to return to Wind Waker for years as I haven't really been near it for a decade. With that in mind, this is increasingly becoming a necessity
Cube Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Finished this last night. Wonderful port, that addresses most of the problems I had with my favourite Zelda, making it even better. The sailing with the fast sail makes it a lot of fun to just sail around - apart from when I needed to, I didn't use fast travel at all. The GamePad is great for menu management, and the motion control is actually pretty awesome when you get used to it - it made using the grappling hook and hookshot much faster (although sometimes I still needed to use the analogue sticks). One small problem with the controls is that I wish the A button used the selected item - so many times I pressed X for the grappling hook, aimed and then accidentally cancelled it by tapping A. I also forgot how fun the combat was with the much simpler combat controls, dashing around enemies, making them hit each other, and generally going crazy, especially when loads of enemies are on screen (tapping the Z-targeting while swinging so you move from enemy to enemy really quickly is great). The GamePad inventory made this even better, as if you wanted to use an item you didn't have equipped, you can do a quick swipe without having to pause the game. The combat may have more depth in Skyward Sword, but I much prefer this. The animation on the enemies is top-notch, too (I love using the grappling hook to get the skull necklaces from the Moblins). The biggest changes were with the Triforce Quest and, honesely, I think they went a bit too far. Changing the harder to reach Triforce Maps into the actual shards was right, but I felt like that translating the others was kind of pointless because they were so cheap - You had to really work to gather the money you needed in the original, but now you don't even have to try. It's still a big improvement, but it's now a little bit too easy. Overall, a wonderful improvement to a wonderful game.
Dog-amoto Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) How do you make Link roll his eyes in the selfies? I've seen it on various screenshots, plus that Linkye West vid, but don't know how to do it... EDIT. Never mind. Sussed it. You click the left stick. Edited January 22, 2014 by Dog-amoto
Rob3008 Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Impressively this has sold over a million copies. It's probably the easiest money Nintendo have ever made. What do we think they'll give the HD treatment to next?
Retro_Link Posted February 2, 2014 Author Posted February 2, 2014 Metroid Prime Trilogy, F-Zero GX and Waverace Blue Storm would all be very welcome games for the console.
Grazza Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 This little beauty is now sitting in my Wii U. To be honest, I wondered if it would live up to the memory, but it definitely does. The sea is bluer, the sky is bluer... everything is sharper and better. It's not just that it's gorgeous though (although it is) - there's something about Wind Waker that, to this day, feels more advanced than the other Zeldas. The controls, the way the islands are modelled and have height, width and depth... It's not necessarily that the others are "wrong", just that this one is so "right". That said, I still haven't left Outset Island. Looking out at that vast expanse of blue sea, thinking of all the islands - large and small - to discover... it's just one of many aspects of Wind Waker that speaks to something deep inside of me.
tapedeck Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Aaaah. Still not sure on this or Pikmin. Now I'm thinking Zelda!

I am counting on you to put up some amazing artsy photographs
Phube Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 This is just making me sad... I really, really wanted this game...
Fused King Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Aaaah. Still not sure on this or Pikmin. Now I'm thinking Zelda! Join me in the Pikmin 3 world!
Ronnie Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Aaaah. Still not sure on this or Pikmin. Now I'm thinking Zelda! If you've played Wind Waker before, as incredible as it is, I'd suggest Pikmin.
lostmario Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) Picked this as my free game and I'm glad I did. Just completed the second dungeon, its kept me off Mario Kart 8 for most of today. Says it all. Edited June 5, 2014 by lostmario
