- I used to make videos years and years ago but this is my first in a long time! Sorry for the poor quality near the beginning... I got more comfortable and into things the farther along the video got. About Island Number 35 is where it gets better. Anyways, this is ALL 49 islands in the Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker ranked from worst to best. Hope you enjoy!

Better reception on this first video than I would’ve ever thought! What kind of video should I make next?
Best Twilight Princess areas or best Majoras Mask bosses
@@Apple-Pie- I’ll definitely give it some thought!
@@domidoodleYT didn’t realize until after I subscribed that this is your first ever video. Congrats for it doing so well! :)
@@Apple-Pie- Thank you! Needless to say I’m still SUPER shocked it got more than like 15 views haha
@@domidoodleYT well you definitely deserve every one of them :) hope you’re able to keep growing at this pace
Windfall Island is probably one of my favorite locations in all of gaming. It’s just so peaceful and uplifting, and has so much life and personality to it. It takes me back to when I was a kid first experiencing Wind Waker through the 20 minute demo on the Zelda GameCube collection when I was too scared to enter the Temple of Time in Ocarina of Time and to get past the first three days in Majora’s Mask. Even too scared to go past the first room in the Dragon Roost Cavern part of the demo. Windfall is simply soothing and amazing, and I had a blast even though I had no idea what I was doing or how to progress the game.
It seems Windfall really is everyone’s happy place
Hey! i loved the video. Wind waker is my absolute favorite game. i love sailing on the seas. also, there were some funny bits that i liked. I'm subscibing as well as looking forward to your future content.
edit: in the windfall island section, i would have also mentionned how much you are contributing to this place. you decorate with flowers, help some dude with a coat open his shop, you help tingle, you help the kids and the teacher, you help the poor father to get rich by saving his daughter, you help the girl to realize stealing is bad, and overall you do a lot of stuff for the island and that sense of progression is amazing
All that is so true! Said it better than I ever could. Thank you!
One of my favorite parts of Zelda is exploration, but just about every island in this game felt so small and uninteresting. I still enjoyed the game for the most part, but I wish the islands could have been larger and a bit more interesting to explore.
I learned from this comment section that Wind Waker had a short development cycle, which is probably why. It really is a great game though
I guess that you can see Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass as two sides of a same coin, Wind Waker has great exploration but the islands feel a bit small, meanwhile Phantom Hourglass has much less exploration and islands, but the islands are all their own proper zones with quite a bit to explore and often a sizeable bit of land
way more fun than botw
They are very small, but the upside is that each island gives you a nice bite sized puzzle to play with
Could you imagine if they randomised big Octos? I was scared to play Wind Waker when I was 7-10 because of the big Octos. But could you imagine them randomised, with no idea where they were, on what quadrant they're at, with no seagulls indicating they were there? It would have terrified me back in the day lol
Your new life goal is to become a modder and make that happen. Sorry you just have to
People always mention Majora's Mask moon or ReDeads but honestly Big Octos were the only thing out of any Zelda game that ever truly terrified me
@@rosebudding235 THIS 100%!!!!!! Redeads are nothing compared to to Big Octos.
@@mechakonga4324 that’s really surprsing! I’m a big weenie but I think the big octos are fun and the redeads screams scared the crap out of me
I am so glad someone else gets this
This is a GREAT first video! I look forward to seeing what else you make :)
Thank you so much! I could’ve done better but I started rush toward the end because I just wanted to upload it haha
Outset/Windfall are great since they show you what you're protecting by defeating Gannon, ensuring that the peace of both islands is maintained
That’s a nice way to think about it! I love this game
That bit about Headstone Island is relateable. Now I never played Wind Waker as a kid, but I loved Sonic Adventure 2, and for me that level was Egg Quarters. I was TERRIFIED of that level because of the beetle robots, and I had to have my sister beat it for me.
Ah yes Zelda and Sonic, the scariest franchise’s in existence
Such a great vid. I just bought Assassin’s Creed 4 recently and it took me back to my favorite childhood game, wind waker.
Though I love sailing and pirates because of the Wind Waker, I weirdly never got into AC4. My favorites are AC3 and Odyssey!
Shark Island isn't exactly my FAVORITE island, but I really have to hype it up because Shark Island is also home to the single biggest mob fight in the entire game; literally, it can take you 5-ish minutes to clear out all the enemies there, it can be super fun to just run back in there and go absolutely wild to see how fast you can do it since there are so many and they're thrown at you in groups you'll never see anywhere else in the game. It's like a marathon battle!
Nice Video! Made me chuckle a few times, definitely subscribing! This game was my first Zelda game and is also my favorite. My opinions are pretty similar to yours with Windfall also being my favorite and the one I spent the most time on.
I appreciate your comment so much!! And yes Wind Waker is totally the best. I’m glad it’s not as underrated as it used to be. Windfall shows off all of the charm that Wind Waker has to offer
I think your top 3 are spot on. Good list.
I like this video, it’s funny. And humor is dope as shit!
Haha thank you ❤️
"only allowed to explore one cave" made me giggle
Glad you vibe with my stupid humor haha
I love the Jokes!! Most of the big Zelda content creators are too worried about keeping their content kid friendly. We need more like you!! Definitely hitting the sub and hope to see some more Zelda content!!!
Haha I tried not to be too explicit, this is actually toned down for my normal vocabulary but I just couldn’t be so toned down that I had none of my personality
This is an entertaining and fun video.
For me, basically all the populated islands (Windfall Island, Outset Island, Forsaken Fortress, Dragon Roost Island, Forest Haven) are my favourite ones. Windfall is just one of the most awesome places in Zelda!
...
*However* :
11:43 Heresy! Outrageous!
This is unacceptable!
Look, I can understand people putting both of them on the same level.
But this!... THIS!... is just... objectively wrong!
But it's okay; one day, you will see the light too!
No I’ve joined the dark side and proud of it
No I’ve joined the dark side and proud of it
At birds peak rock there's a glitch in both versions where if you have the right position you can clip into the cell from the outside when ur swinging on the wooden thingy with the grappling hook
If you do that it's not so bad
Oh sweet I had no idea!
Honestly it'd be amazing to see almost all of these islands in a Golfing game as a mod. Stonewatcher Island literally looks like a golf course 3:23 and plenty of other islands seem like they'd work quite nicely. The more elaborate islands like Outset or Forsaken could have multiple holes while simpler islands like Stonewatcher or Horseshoe could be single holes.
It's such a cool concept! 😄
That’s super creative! Love the idea
TH-cam recommended this randomly... I've never played Wind Waker, so of course I was like "Sure, I'll watch that."
Long story short, I like your sense of humor and you just earned yourself a subscriber :)
First off, thank you! Second, I was in someone’s recommended! Making moves 😎
@@domidoodleYT Yup, made it to my front page :) congrats on that btw, youtube rarely recommends small channels to me. I hope you're channel grows a lot. When I started the video and hadn't looked at the subscriber count yet, I expected something around 10k at least because the video quality is really good, I think you deserve more attention.
Also, thanks for the heart :)
@@antiheldin4840 that all means a lot. Here have another ❤️
Loved your video.
Love your comment
4:44 It looks like a Tadpole to me as well.
Kind of does doesn’t it!
Windfall Island is the best! I would just hang out there, running around and doing nothing, instead of playing the actual game.
I’m trynna be like stonewatcher island ya feel
Aren’t we all
"Look at this doood"
Me when Korok :)
Best comment of my entire TH-cam career
What happens in Private Oasis stays in Private Oasis
Also subbed. I keep finding unpopular youtubers lately, but I ain’t complaining
Thanks for subscribing! Appreciate you friend
For some reason I thought the game had a GameCube island
That would be pretty cool!
Phantom Hourglass has Dee Ess island that is shaped like a Nintendo DS. Is that what you were thinking of?
Not a bad list- but I WILL give you grief about not having SHARK ISLAND in your top 10. You kill at least 50 dudes in ONE ROOM. How is that not entertaining?!?
😳 outside of the top 15 or so I wasn’t super critical haha just being honest
I also played this game a TON as a kid (I think I was 9 or so), and I still like the overall vibe of it (plus just the nostalgia)
Not a huge fan of sailing, mostly bc of the giant squids (they ate me once as a kid bc I had no bombs/arrows and the boomerang didn’t do shit, and I’ve been traumatized ever since), but I love just hanging out at windfall, outset, or the private oasis. Feels nice to just ignore the story sometimes and just vibe
Also, how DARE you put the wind temple over the earth temple!? Nah, I’m just kidding (kinda), it’s just that the earth temple is lowkey mg favorite dungeon in this game and I have a grudge against the wind temple
Earth Temple is solid so credit where credit’s due. Only thing I can’t get behind that I didn’t mention is the mirror shield light puzzles. Does a great job at being the necessary “creepy dungeon” though!
the sequel to turd of the child is still shit
5:14 "The shaped islands are fun" and yet crescent moon island is so low yet is SO SHAPED 😭
just joking ;) very nice and funny video!
You’ve got a point I did say that but the others have like grass at least… Crescent Moon is just a plain rock 😂
GREAT VIDEO! Oddly enough my favorite island as a kid was the Private Oasis, because the idea of owning my own island in this game seemed really cool. Also figuring out all the slide puzzles on my own felt like such an achievement.
Private Oasis is a good one. It’s relaxing and fun but also feels a bit mysterious
as a kid, i did all the slide puzzles.... only to be sad. WHY CAN I NOT GET INTO THE FIRE PLACE HOLE?!... several weeks later. i randomly looked up and saw... oh... there is a switch........ i was so stuck for so long.
We shall never run out of things to rank in this series. It’s beautiful.
I know right! I’m also surprised this one hasn’t been done before, at least that I’ve seen. The second it came to mind it seemed like a no brainer
Rank the boss fights then. 😁 Im gonna have go back do a blind playthrough video soon.
I think some of these islands might be the biggest hint that Wind Waker had a short development cycle xD
I’d say that’s fair haha
@@domidoodleYT Still a great game though uwu
This video was DOPE AS SHIT!
You’re dope as shit for commenting on my stupid video 🥰
I'm fixing to move to American Samoa. Tiny island territory of the United States. I half have it in my mind that it's going to be like Outset Island or Windfall Island, hahaha
That’s so exciting for you! Safe travels!
The story about your mom beating the Earth Temple for you is adorable!
My mama is a sweetheart
Agree with your top 3! I named my animal crossing island Windfall and my main goal was to capture the vibe of its namesake. I just wanna live there 😅
That’s such a good idea for animal crossing!
i think you forgot to mention that the video is DOPE AS SHIT
My friend you are dope as shit for watching and leaving a comment
This is a great video. Straight to the point, short blips, good humor. Truthfully I was looking for a video that showed all the islands, and this was awesome to find and watch because it was simple and funny. Maybe developed a crush by the end. Very charming creator!
i hate reef and constellation islands. so tedious... and boring accordingly. the good islands have caves and exploration. or combat.
Yeah pretty much
Letsago. Oh shit, I Mean OHHHHHHH! 3:28 Still gets head. 5:30 Just use a cannon to destroy those rocks. 8:55 Hours? I could do it within an hour. 9:58 I actually needed my mother to help me with that puzzle. The Deku Leaf is not a Wind Waker exclusive. Breath of the Wild has it too. 10:57 Nightmare fuel.
True BOTW does have the deku leaf but it’s not like a real item if that makes sense. I’d say the runes are the closest things to classic items in that game
i enjoyed the video very much This is what makes wind waker one of my most favorite zelda games is exporing all the islands and see what they hide inside.😀
Wind waker is such a great game!
I'm late but I agree so much with everything you said about Windfall Island. As a little kid I would be too scared to fight enemies, so my brother would do the Forsaken Fortress for me and then I'd run around in Windfall island doing all the quests I could. I feel like I've done all the side quests there (that you can do early on) 100 times over.
I love the atmosphere, the music, the characters, the battleship game, riding the windmill, breaking the rich guy's pots, sprinting away from the creepy poor guy, and it all makes a pretty small island feel gigantic and full of character.
This was a solid idea! Curious to see more
Thank you! I appreciate it
Great video, and this game is awesome, but, Phantom Hourglass does a much better job with its islands! Every island in that game has at least SOME merit and deserves to exist.
Phantom hourglass is one of the few I haven’t really played, I’ve heard the islands are a lot more fleshed out though
@@domidoodleYT Despite what some people might say, Phantom Hourglass is awesome! I highly recommend it on Wii U or DS if you have one. There's some give and take with that game. There's less islands and the game is more linear, but every island has value and at least one memorable thing about it. The game is in 2D, but the gameplay is so unique and works well and does crazy things with the DS touch screen! Etc.
@@nickk3077 I actually do have it for DS already, just never got around to playing it for some reason. You might be the reason I finally do though!
dude is actually funny as shit
Thank you! Glad someone enjoys my sense of humor ☺️
As a kid, the Earth Temple scared me so much, i was afraid to even finish playing the game after beating both sage temples, out of fear of facing more Redeads
@@spindash64 oh yeah that earth temple is not joke when it comes to creepy
I love how he doesn’t waste time and gets straight to the point 👍🏻
Thanks! :)
the way you speak and how you sound reminds me of that one guy in my high school friends group. he was difficult.
I’m sorry to haunt you like this 😔
this was such a fun video to watch, I loved the personality you added to the ranking
Might I say, you are *dope as SHIT*
My friend YOU are dope as shit
Zelda fans: WW’s world isn’t empty
WW’s world:
Haha you’re kinda right
Personally, Dragon Roost is my number one
Adorable your mom beat the earth temple for you. I grew up a first generation video gamer. so this brings future feelings for me when I have a kid
I can’t wait to beat bad guys for my kids. Biggest dream
Fun fact I forgot about the leaf so I did the second hole of golf with a bow witch made me wanna die then I stood at the third hole for like 15 minutes until wondering wtf to do. I felt so stupid
It happens to the best of us
I really wished WW wasn’t rushed, because I would’ve loved to see the Fire Mountain & Ice Ring Isle as full Dungeons rather than a 1 room small puzzle/obstacle to conquer
I agree they could’ve been so awesome!
What if we had a widn waker mod to randomizat the islands 🏝 and all boring islands are replaced with new original ones imagens the infinit adventers
That would be pretty cool!
Me: oh he’s gonna rank every island that doesn’t have 25 things to do as the worst
Guy: I decided to replay my FAVORITE Zelda, the wind waker
Me: I retract my previous statement.
This made me laugh
@@domidoodleYT great vid btw, reef islands were filler but yeah pretty accurate
You just don’t understand 5 dice isle it is the best by far
Explain 🤔
Cool video man. I love this game so much and I sure love to hear people who love it too talk about it
I appreciate it! And I do love to talk about it ☺️
Star Belt Archipelago has virtually nothing going for it. The only point of interest in the square is a lonely platform guarded by four Bokoblins, with either a red rupee or a treasure chart (depending on which version you're playing). Even Five-Star Isles's square has a submarine surrounded by a group of platforms to make up for its lack of walkable land. Near Seven-Star Isles, you'll find a trio of platforms where you fight three small waves of Wizzrobes, as well as one of the two 12-eyed Giant Octos. Star Belt has the aforementioned platform, the occasional Ghost Ship sighting (every first quarter moon), a handful of Seahats, and some Kargorocs nesting atop the rocks themselves. That's it.
Yup the Private Oasis is so nice, serene, peaceful....until you remember the teacher has dead bodies in the basement
Loved the video 100% agree on the ranking 👍🏾
True haha didn’t even think to mention that.. Thank you for your comment!
great video man and windfall is also my favorite
Favourite island overall: Outset
Best inhabitants: Dragon Roost
Coolest name: Star Belt Archipelago
Most useful: Windfall
Best atmosphere: Forsaken Fortress
Most mysterious: Thorned Fairy Island
Coolest landmarks: Triangle Islands
Best caves: Pawprint
Coolest aesthetic: TOTG
You actually ranked every Wind Waker island? Hats off to a fellow Wind Waker lover! Even I wouldn't have attempted that! Don't you just hope Wind Waker and Twilight Princess HD come to the Switch? I certainly do!
Wind Waker on Switch would be awesome! I’m hoping for a bundle personally
I think the logic behind Windfall island is very simple, it's the Kakariko village of this game, so it becomes a sort of hub to come back to during your adventure, a safe place to stay before going out on the dangerous sea
I wish Nintendo would only have given us the opportunity to completely explore the overworld after giving us the Master Sword
70 subs and this fucking awesome video is your first?
Thank you so much ☺️ could’ve been better but I tried my best
DOPE AS SHIT
also saw that this was your first video. Nice vid!
No u 🥰
yess windfall in my favourite too! It's the home of all the low-stakes side quests. You play hide and seek, you solve people's problems, you give people gifts, you play minigames, you buy stuff, collect fun items... It's just. nice.
Great video man! Best Wind Waker island ranking that I’ve seen!
Thank you, I appreciate it
YER ALRITE
Imagine how much less threatening Ganon would be in every game if he were referred to as just "the angry guy."
I like yer energy boiii
One of my favorite is shark island, not because it’s a shark looking but because of the cave full of monsters to kill, and a very cool ruby farm with enemy loots
Hey nice video! Love the idea!
Thank you!
The private oasis was my fav
It is really fun
I liked the fact that it was so pleasant & danger free. You couldnt even drown in the pool. And the fact that you could go there any time was a relief because you are not wrong when you said this game was intense. The forsaken fortress was scary as sh*t. This is what i was doing while the other girls were playing with barbies and having tea parties.
@@Marceline8080 interesting! I didn’t know you couldn’t drown in the pool there 🤔
Solid list, def agree with the top 5 :)
Thank you :)
Anything with Kargarocs are automatically bad in my opinion, except for maybe Dragon Roost.
This is facts. Also Pikachu looking dapper af
gonna be honest you deserve more subs
Maybe some day!
Idea: Ranking every Zelda playable song (the ones you can play by howling, or playing an instrument like the harp, Ocarina, etc...)
Yoooo this idea is great! The music is one of my favorite things about Zelda! I’ll get to work soon 😉
I like Tingle Island because you can have a gold life sized statue collection. Problem is the HD version while still having the statues removed the co-op option to even see them so you have to already know where they are to even get them.
This video has chaotic energy
My mental state as a video
I have a really weird favorite island. I LOVE shark island. just because it's piece of heart is so fun. you fight like 300 enemies at the same time, and it's super fun. I never collect the piece of heart, so I can just replay it over and over. It's like a mini version of Hyrule Warriors
That’s not weird, If you like combat, shark island’s perfect for you
"Some just are the poop deck." Yeah, sums it up right.
"My girlfriend said I'm only allowed to explore 1"
"And reminds me of something I can't quite find"
Lmao, comedy gold.
Thank you sir
Really enjoyed this!!
I’m glad!
3:24
This was so outta pocket
Outta both pockets tbh
If Tetra’s ship could be an island location, I’d rank it in the top 5 too!
Outset has my favorite music of the game.
I agree-Windfall takes the cake. I looked forward to just hanging out there and talking to everyone and doing all the side quests. + The auctions!
I was considering adding tetras ship or the ghost ship to make it an even 50 things but ultimately decided to stick with the 49 main islands. Tetras ship wouldn’t be too 5 for me but definitely in the top 15!
Man, as a kid I remember the Tower of the Gods being my favorite island cause of the atmosphere, weird tech-y stuff, and sheer monumentality. Probably why I have a mild obsessions with big ass, mysterious towers today.
Though since you mentioned it "cheated" its way to the top, I'm curious: if going to Hyrule was detatched from the tower for whatever reason, where would its placement be?
Good question! It’s still a decent dungeon with a cool boss fight. Probably around number 11, under the forsaken fortress and above the flight control platform
I'm so confused - where are your millions of subscribers? I demand they arrive. Nice job man!
Haha thanks so much! Maybe at least 1000 some day, if I keep at it
Take a shot every time an island is "dope as sh*t!"
Really good video, no idea how this has so little views, I enjoyed this
I think 6k is a lot 😭
Interesting premise, terrible execution
First hater, mama I made it
@@domidoodleYT I’m not hating, my friend. I just didn’t enjoy this one. Best of luck to you.
6:26 Is your Girlfriend is a gamer like you or not.
Nahh not really
Thank you for answering my question.
@@fireembliam9090 no problem!
This game was perfect.
It’s pretty darn close to perfect
@domidoodle No kidding. After all the the games that rolled out over the years, very few were as captivating, original, thorough & fulfilling. Its very hard for me to this excited over a game because not very games do this many things right. They were so careful and that says something because nowadays anyone can download a game design engine for free & pay some random to design the textures for you. It was so much harder to make games back then.
Over half of this video felt like it could've been set to a rap beat, because it was rhythmic and smoothly spoken. And it transitioned from one island to the next quickly for most of it. Well done.
Thanks so much! That’s an interesting compliment too haha
Ain’t no way you have so little subscribers you are very entertaining.
Well it was only my first video haha but thank you ☺️
@@domidoodleYT great first video, love wind waker and this is a great concept.
@@smudgerox I’m honestly surprised no one’s done it already, at least that I could find. I mean people have ranked every single shrine in BOTW but yet no one ever did this
As a kid I had a crush on Medli so although I also like Makar, I will always prefer the Earth Temple and Medli.
My favorite Island is the one that had the slime cave below it. I don't remember which one it was (didn't play the game ina logn time and not in english either) simply because the slimes are so cute and goofy.
Pawprint Isle
Interesting favorite!
Still like dragon roost the best :>
Now so this with skyward sword 😈😈😈
Dude don’t spoil my plans for everybody 😳
@@domidoodleYT 🤭
Really nice thoughts on number 1!
Thank you!
@@domidoodleYT Yes, thanks for making! Would love to see more Zelda content. There's a million Zelda content creators out there, but honestly, this is way better than a lot!
@@agradepodcast2602 I’m working on something right now! Thanks for all the compliments. Would’ve never expected all the love on one random video I made!
@@domidoodleYT Awesome, I can't wait! Keep it up. It's like our podcast: people ask us how did we learn how to do this? And we're just like, we just do it lol. Creative work takes time, but stick with it.
