dazzybee Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 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. You played it on the GameCube? And do you have a job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sailing is much better in this once you get the sail (do you know how to get it? You don't stumble upon it!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazzybee Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Yeah, I got the sail or are you talking about an advanced one or something? Yeah, there's a super sail which speeds up the sailing and means you don't have to change wind and stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fierce_LiNk Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I'm watching Ine play this game right now. It looks wonderful. However, Nintendo overdid it with the amount of bloom on dat sky. "I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING. LET'S ADD THIS BLOOM HERE AND HERE." "HD!!!" "MORE BLOOM!" Tempted to give it a go if she ever gets off the damn thing.

Kav Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 So what exactly do I need for this swift sail? I've finished the Dragon Roost Temple, got the pearl, back at Windfall at night going into the auction but all that is ever available are joy pendants... am I missing something? I've spent an hour going in and out of auctions now trying to come across it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kav Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 (edited) Unfortunately it's random when it shows up. It took ages for the heart piece to show up for me. Fuck me it's finally shown up! Seriously, over a fucking hour of leaving the room and going back in! Urgh!!! Edited June 8, 2014 by Kav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blade Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Fuck me it's finally shown up! Seriously, over a fucking hour of leaving the room and goin back in! Urgh!!! Gutted. It shown up straight away for me when I was going through the game. Once you go fast sail there is no going back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grazza Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Love this game so, so much. I'm taking it slowly, but it's reminding me of its brilliance every step of the way: * Taking a Bokoblin's sword and using it to smash the thick, wooden panels. * Grabbing a flaming torch and throwing it across a chasm, burning the panels so you can land on the ledge. The physics in Wind Waker are so satisfying. * That moment when the first Moblin is dropped into the arena. Not that I couldn't beat it, but it absolutely clobbered me with its staff! (I don't see this game as ultra-easy as others do.) * Feeding the fish men, who kindly fill in your map and tell you about mysterious things on the Great Sea. * The height! I associate this game with mountains almost as much as the sea - now in HD too. If ever there was any doubt you were up high at certain points, there certainly isn't now, as you can see miles into the distance - far ledges, switches and people in pin-sharp detail. * That charming jingle as the sun rises and a new day dawns on the massive, blue expanse. It is just pure "Zelda". * The Deku Leaf. Climbing up the Forest Haven and working out all the ledges and mini-islands I can glide to. Personally, I like both the cartoony style as well as the more realistic styles Zelda has had, but one thing that impresses me so much is the way Wind Waker is built. How much fun there is to be had in this magical world. Whatever the visual style of the next Zelda, I just hope it is built as well as Wind Waker. It's just utter genius, it really is.

Grazza Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Always a pleasure reading your pov on Zelda. Thank you, sir, and I'm pretty sure we'll be watching the announcements tomorrow, hoping to be fired up all over again. ...as this!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tales Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 We don't get our free game until 1. September, but I couldn't wait that long so I picked it up today. Love it so far. So beautiful! Like how miiverse is utilized. Just got to the Deku tree island, but had to double back to that windmill city and get the deluxe camera. Didn't know you could only give colour photos to that figurine guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 The Forest Haven is my favourite area of this game. Simply stunning and the music is great too. The bit where you're using the deku buds to get to the very top of the Deku Tree is fantastic. The height you climb is amazing when you're at the top and look down. Fantastic sense of scale that definitely didn't exist in Skyward Sword. I'm hoping for more areas like this in Zelda U, full of magic and life. The ones in Skyward Sword on the other hand felt pretty barren and soul-less in contrast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddage Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 You must have JavaScript enabled on your device to view Miiverse posts that have been embedded in a website. View post in Miiverse So 11 years after first playing it I've finally completed Wind Waker!I enjoyed the game but it's nowhere near Ocarina of Time or A Link to the Past, in my opinion. Even with the changes they made to the HD version the pacing still seems off and I'm really not a fan of the sailing.Gonna reply Twilight Princess soon, as I really think I enjoyed that as much as Wind Waker, and then finally complete Skyward Sword.Oh and I managed to complete the figurine collection!
