I had completely forgotten about the triforce fetch quest. Would have been neat if there were a couple more dungeons in Wind Waker though, the game is still great though!
To be honest even back than on the mid 2000s (the remerber the year I got Wind Waker) I found it strange that the first half of the game is linear but the 2nd half are fetch question, it was like I was not playing the same game
+CodeNameZ Ive played the game 3 or so time and that's the point where i always hit a wall. I have never finished it because the game starts to suck so bad when you reach the sailing around to islands part. The first half of the game is one of the best Zelda's ever. I always prefer to just remember it that way.
+SpaceHamster Considering that Zelda games are already pretty solid when it comes to content and Wind Waker was one of the more exploration focused entries (what with that vast sea at your disposal) I don't really think Wind Waker needed to be any longer.
I love the fact that even now, the visuals look great, despite the game being 12 years old. That's why I find the release of The Wind Waker on Wii U so pointless.
+OnionMaster Well I wanna to get Wind Waker HD just because my old gamecube copy does not work amymore, like I have no interest in Twilight Princess HD because I have a working TP disc. I also think the gamepad Screen makes saling easyer because I remerber everytime I sail in the GC version I pause the game like 2-3 times to see am I close, so in the Wii U version at least I would not need to pause it
+DidYouKnowGaming? I've been playing Zelda games since the first one when it was new and, to me, Wind Waker is the "real" Zelda look for the characters and the world. The art style for Ocarina Of Time and onward is literally hideous. I have no idea why people like it, but it was clearly designed for the limitations of the N64 and most characters look bizarre or repulsive. For people for whom it was their first zelda game, characters like the grave digger or the fairies probably don't look as insane as they do to someone who grew up with the series, but to this day they remain absolutely baffling to me.
+DidYouKnowGaming? I don't get the hype. It has few dungeons (Yes MM had few as well, but there were valid reasons for it) you have to change the wind every 5 minutes to get anywhere, you have to spend *hours* feeding that damn fish just to fill out your map, the entire Triforce quest, and sailing is just boring. It feels epic the first 5 times you do it, but it becomes boring afterwards. Even with the warp which takes you to a very limited number of locations, you still have to do a shitton of sailing. I just don't get it.
BlazeHeatnix - Definitive Dubs You're right in all your criticisms. Those are all extremely poor aspects of the game and are why it's not a great game overall. But in my opinion it FIXES all the things that were wrong with Ocarina that made THAT game a terrible Zelda game, in my opinion. Most specifically, the fact that link, a swordsman, spends all his time hiding and waiting. Dekus, octaroks,skulltullas, mobiles... it's all just sitting there waiting and then reflecting their attack back at them or waiting to attack them went heir back is turned. Its a completely different, worse genre of game than the previous zelda games which were fast action games. This was basically all done because of the limitations of the N64 and because they couldn't figure out how to make Zelda work in 3d. As a result, Mario 64 is honestly a better Zelda game than Ocarina Of time. Mario 64 is even way more non-linear than Zelda 64. Wind waker fixed all that, to some extent. Don't get me wrong, it still has problems, but where Ocarina is hideous (The fairies? Come n.), Wind Waker was gorgeous. Where Ocarina had poor control, WW had better control. Where Ocarina felt cripplingly linear, WW felt slightly more open ended. I haven't felt like a Zelda game succeeded since ALTTP, but I have yet to play ALBW. Every single game that come out, I think..."maybe this will be the one!" but... so far.. not yet...
"The team discussed on whether it would be interesting for Link to pick up a moblin's weapon in a battle and use it against him." Wind Waker: Breath of the Wild before it was cool.
Speaking about the Wind Waker; did you know that Carlov the Sculptor, the guy who carves figurines for the Nintendo Gallery, actually holds a very special secret? The description of his figurine reads as follows: "Lately, his club has been losing membership because he hasn't done anything "cool" with it, but as long as Link hangs around, everything will be all right!". Just replace the name of Link for whatever name or nickname you decided to enter in your save file and you got yourself a message from Eiji Aonuma addressing you directly as a special way of saying: "Thank you for playing our game and for sticking with Nintendo" This is especially heartwarming considering that when the game came first it was back when Nintendo's home console at the time, the Gamecube, wasn't doing so well, and the company was losing a lot of players. A sad reality that still persist to our day with the Nintendo Wii U which incidentally has a remake of the Wind Waker in its software lineup, and despite the many changes it has from the Gamecube version, this message in particular remains untouched. Nintendo may have its ups and downs as a company, but as long as we stick around for them, they'll be all right.
+Joseph Cross That felt more of a jab at Nintendo Club. Since it's about membership. Which would make sense since we've seen the club close last year for similar reasons as stated in the figurine.
Tingle has a pure heart?!?! - He was put in jail for stealing a pictobox - He forces his brothers to work for him like slaves, they actually exclaim desperate things like "Please play with him" as if he'll punish them if he's in a bad mood - There's skulls in the cave that Tingle digged out behind his jail cell... Either they're there because the cell is about under where Karariko's graveyard was, assuming Windfall Island is indeed Kakariko village, but it wouldn't surprise me to see that creepy Tingle commit coold blooded muder >:| - His moustache is pure evil
@@fusiondraws7482 one of them actually isn't his brother, he just found himself on the island, and he's hoping the third brother comes back so he doesn't have to keep pushing the totem pillar.
I'm propably the only one that didn't mind the triforce fetch quest. The only part I didn't like was needing to pay so much to Tingle to translate the triforce charts. As for the two missing dungeons, I always assumed one of the was to be a dungeon for getting Nayru's Pearl and always wondered what kind of dungeon they would have made for that.
+CrystalMoonStar I liked it too, in a way it was meant to force the player to go out there and explore the Great Sea like never before. To me it was a welcome change of pace, and a break from the dark and claustrophobic dungeons, which are cool in their own right but don't leave much room for exploration or discovery.
+CrystalMoonStar I didn't mind it either. I thought it added a lot to the story when you were forced to find long-lost ancient treasures in a vast ocean
The Triforce quest really brought back how the original Zelda games were imo, and gave a nice sense of exploration, like how Zelda should be. I don't understand how Zelda fans want Zelda to be more "open world", yet bash the Triforce quest in this game. Such hypocrites.
Definitely by favorite Zelda game. The overwhelming sense of exploration and discovery was unparalleled. Seeing a gray dot through the telescope over the horizon and sailing way out to see what it was was so satisfying.
"apologized for the triforce fetch quest" I honestly think that this part is one of the most fun parts of the game. Because what I really like about the game is the open world you can explore and obtaining the triforce part pretty much lets you do exactly that. The only bad thing about it is how it takes away space for sidequests from the world (Some islands purpose was exclussively for the triforce) but then again this poses the question if there would have been such if it wasn't for the triforce.
What I liked about the triforce fetch quest is it gave you an excuse to explore the map, which I found fun. Each unit on the sea-chart had its own island, and a variety of tasks associated with it. The game-play involved with engaging them is quite entertaining.
Am I the only one that liked the Triforce hunt? It really gave a good sense of the vastness of the sea, and made you really feel like a treasure hunter. It was one of the few times in gaming where finishing it gave a very palpable sense of satisfaction.
I can’t believe I didn’t know this video existed until now! This is my favorite game of all time, I love this game so much. Awesome to see pbg on another episode of DYKG too!
+Axel Andersson ...Which is what a weeaboo is. An anime/Japan nerd that thinks they should've been born Japanese or/and are obsessed over Japan. Tingle is obsessed with fairies just like weebs obsess over Japan... I think you get it now.
Axel Andersson Wait... I'm guessing you're just taking OP's use of literally too literal. They probably meant to say Tingle is a lot like a weeaboo, but just for fairies. If that's the case, I see what you mean.
+The Introspector Why do people hate the sailing in Wind Waker? I love the idea of exploring the sea and sailing to islands visible in the background. It gives you a sense of adventure, at least for me anyway. I do agree it can feel slow and a bit tedious having to do the wind song for the one thousand time, but once you get that out of the way it's smooth sailing. And hey! If sailing's really annoying for you, then you can get an item called the Swift Sail in the HD remake of Wind Waker which makes sailing ten times faster and easy.
DeadhoofofWind The overworld, with the exception of the islands, is very empty and has nothing in it. Changing the wind direction is just tedious. Also just because they fixed something in the remaster doesn't mean the problem is completely gone. It's not like they just hand you the swift sail, you have to obtain it at the auction house which means you'll still have to do some sailing without the swift sail.
5:45 I think I might be one of the few people who actually liked the triforce fetch quest. It was challenging in a good way and it served as a nice montage section of the game to search for upgrades and heart pieces.
Plus it's the one part of the game that feels really open-ended, as opposed to just getting a waypoint put on your map and being told "go here and oh btw you can't go anywhere else right now."
2:33 I also hear that the reason they implemented that was because after Miyamoto saw the design and noticed the big eyes, he wanted to know why he had those big eyes and what gameplay mechanic is could serve
The Gamecube had the best Zelda game, Wind Waker, and (In my opinion) the best 3D Mario game, Sunshine, but others can argue it was actually the Galaxy series.
+HG Shurtugal Majora's Mask is definitely much better IMO than Wind Waker, I'll trade the generic story and vast empty overworld for an original story and compact overworld any day.
Awesome to see some behind the scenes of one of my favorite games of all times, and for me, my favorite soundtrack and one of the best looking games of all time.
Windwaker was my first Zelda game, and is still my favorite. I grew up next to the ocean, so sailing the Great Sea was like being home. It has by far the best soundtrack, and sometimes I would just hide Link in a corner so I could listen to the music. I still love the art style. I still love everything about this game!
The thing about the Triforce quests was that even if it was a bit dull, it encouraged exploration. And that was when you saw the true beauty of the game.
the Triforce collecting part was one of my fav sections of the game! You really felt like a lonely pirate sailing from island to island and raiding the wooden watch towers for Rupees to pay for Tingle's services
I've heard about the "two dungeons removed, used in other Zelda games" thing before, but I still wonder what those two dungeons were and which games they were finally included in. I still think the Ancient Cistern (Skyward Sword) was one of them. I mean, there are plenty of instances that makes it so similar to something you'd find in Wind Waker, including the boss, whose weapon you have to pick up and use against it. Just a wild guess though...
@BountyHunterAquxDP i've thought about that a lot and always found sucky how the pirate ships had one of the charts while the rest were rightfully under lock and key with the need of the wind waker a triforce piece couldve been lost forever at the hands of a pirate
I know why everybody complains about the Triforce fetch quest near the end of the game, but I actually really liked it. Maybe it's just my own sense of adventure and exploration though. But I understand why it wouldn't be for everybody.
+JohnnyCrimson2000 Yeah, the Triforce fetch quest was how I found the ghost ship and developed the patience necessary for dealing with squids. Freaking love this game.
I always find it crazy that other people didn't like the triforce hunt quest. The quest was all about sailing around, finding mysterious islands, and trying to figure out what you can get out of each island, which was the most interesting part of Wind Waker's gameplay.
I heard in another video that WW sales were not that great because of the cartoon style graphics..I personally love the graphic style and this is one of my favorite zelda games..this and OOT are my 2 favorites
I'm glad someone else has that opinion on this game. Words simply can't describe how much adore Wind Waker it's my favorite game of all time for sure it just never gets old.
I actually really loved the fetch quest. Sure, it may have been long, but you could do whatever at your own pace, without specifically heading from point A to B. It gave me the sense of adventure, and what would've been like if you, the player, was Link at the time. And, it felt like an RPG, trying to solve puzzles and trying to move ahead and figure out where the pieces were located. I don't care what you all think, I personally loved it.
+Marie's Real Husband It's not really that bad, and was in fact pretty fun my first, and I think even my second, time through it. I wouldn't be surprised if many of those that are complaining waited until the very end to do it all at once. That does seem like it could be frustrating, but it would be a self-inflicted punishment.
+mammotharmored _ (mc) At least they made it less tedious in the HD remake version, for the first time I actually found it fun looking for the trifoce pieces.
+Marie's Real Husband Seriously, what's the rush? 90% of my time in a Zelda game is just exploring, then I make some progress with the main quest and head off. With the Triforce fetch quest, you can do both at the same time. Oh, there's a chart this way? I'll just explore in this direction then. Win win.
I didn't mind the Triforce quest at all. The story is pretty fast paced and linear up through the Tower of the Gods, but suddenly after that the entire ocean opens up. It's a great incentive to start really exploring and adventuring. You can collect the shards, complete the Earth and Wind temples, and do any of the other remaining sidequests in any order at that time as long as you have the required items. One of the reasons that Wind Waker remains one of my favorite titles is the fact that it has so much freedom in the second half of the game, and there is so very much content to experience within that freedom. I hope the next game has the same feel to it.
I actually didn't mind the fetch quest that much. It gave me another chance to use the map I'd drawn up to make sailing more convenient without having to pull up the in-game map to check the treasure spots.
Thank you so much for letting us know about the origin of the style and attributing it to Yoshiki Haruhana and Satoru Takizawa! I've been trying for years to pin down who to attribute that to.
+mistwowlol I actually somehow got stuck around the middle and then I think I lost my disc, so I never got any further in than that. I think renting and playing through the remake three times now has more than made up for that though...
The tTriforce fetch quest was what made this game feel more complex than other Zelda games. You explore the entire map, one corner to the next, you realize that it is a pretty big map. Then it happens, you are told to find scattered Triforce pieces throughout the land, prompting you to visit places you might not have been to in a while. And let me tell you, the ghost ship actually gave me nightmares as a kid (and the fucking kraken-octorock thing.) The only thing that ruined some of the experience was the map deciphering
Oooo what a coincidence! Was just watching Cosmo's Speedrun of Wind Waker at AGDQ2014! Hahaha I've been waiting for this one, so glad it was covered by a beautiful man too
I like twilight princess because of the darkness feel to it. I've never played wind waker because I don't like the toon look to it. same reason I never really played skyward sword. but ocarina of time will always have a special place in my heart. haha
Never really liked Wind Waker. Great game but not even in my top 5 Zeldas. Heh, what do I know anyway? I'm one of the few people that likes Twilight Princess. EDIT: Meant to say "one of the few people that STILL likes Twilight Princess." By this I mean that it received massive praise upon it's release by fans and critics but recently it seems to get shitted on for being "gloomy, colorless, dark and boring." Personally, I don't care cause it's still an awesome game and preferences are preferences.
+BasedDeath Fafy I'm probably in even more of a minority. I enjoy Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker, and Twilight Princess pretty much evenly. I don't like Majora's Mask quite as much, but it still seems pretty solid overall. I find Skyward Sword to be alright, but it way overuses the motion controls.
+BasedDeath Fafy (We found an opinion, call back-up) I haven't played too many Zelda games but from what I've played (Zelda 1, 2, LttP, Link between Worlds, OoT and WW) I like Wind Waker the best...... unless we count Hyrule Warriors, I'm so addicted to that.
+BasedDeath Fafy I would put Wind waker at number 1 on my list. then twilight princess, and then after that Minish cap. my 4th and 5th spots would be in any combination of Majoras mask or OOT (They're both awesome), or the Oracle games on the gameboy colour.
holy crap. i've been playing this game for two years. it's the first zelda game i've really taken the time to play. i was stuck in a boss then quit. then came back to it many months later, finally beat it, then when on a run, feeling good about it, beat the next boss like it was nothing, got the master sword, met ganon. anyway, it kind of feels like i've been living in this game, even when i'm mostly away from it (i guess that's part of the beauty of a zelda game). my point is, the first minute of the video was already full of spoilers for me, lol. what a huge, epic game. man. nintendo is really something else.
Even on the Wii u remaster, I found the fetch quest horrendously irritating. it was blatant padding, and I didn't even feel motivated to go through it on my own. I just pulled out my phone, and searched up a guide. Not worth my time. Zelda games should focus on the dungeons, and this section was a huge-ass kick to my enjoyment. This is absolutely proof that games deserve delays to ensure a full experience.
I love Wind Waker and I also love the missions with medli the very subtle romance between link and medli it really makes the missions even better I remember playing it on my GameCube for the very first time I was 7 I didn't even notice the subtle Romance between those two I played it to day after so long I am 15 and now no i really appreciated it and another thing I played it on my original GameCube even better
Did you know, one of those unused dungeons was going to be an ice dungeon. but bits of it can still be found in the game on the ice mountain island. the island that spews out ice, which can only be stopped with a fire arrow, which then gives Link 5 minutes to explore and find the iron boots hidden inside.
2:40 That's called Head Tracking, it was first introduced in Resident Evil 2 for the PlayStation One and is a great mechanic that needs to be used more.
Just a friendly reminder to all the Weeaboos out there that otaku in Japanese is more of an insult and not meant to be something to be proud of if called on.
+Antwon Mianus Depends on the context really, otaku can have different connotations to it. For some its basically the same as calling somebody a socially inept, basement-dwelling nerd (think shut-in types), but its also used more casually, like calling somebody a computer nerd or geek.
Personally, I really loved the fetch quests! I loved the feeling of searching for treasure and collecting items deep within the ocean depths. It didn't seem annoying to me at all.
I've actually watched this like 5 times haha but I've never really commented. Windwaker is one of my favorite games ever. I really love that Link looks at people and objects!! I didn't really understand as a kid, but I definitely felt so engrossed in this world because of it. I have so many good things to say about this but I'm not gonna ramble. Also PBG is life. :)
I really thought the fetch quest was an amazing idea. In other previous Zelda games, there's a LARGE emphasis on exploration, and everything being non-linear. In the fetch quest, it's almost like a throw-back to Zelda 1. I got to explore the whole land in search of the tri-force in any order I wanted. It gave me even more new reasons to explore this giant over-world, and at my own pace as well. Honestly, I prefer it over having 2 extra dungeons, it gives it that real classic feel.
Yea that fetch quest haunted me back in high school. And came back in glorious HD form when I got the HD Wind Waker Wii U bundle... At least the game pad looks amazing
I had completely forgotten about the triforce fetch quest. Would have been neat if there were a couple more dungeons in Wind Waker though, the game is still great though!
To be honest even back than on the mid 2000s (the remerber the year I got Wind Waker) I found it strange that the first half of the game is linear but the 2nd half are fetch question, it was like I was not playing the same game
If they put a fetch quest in Zelda U, I will bust a nut, lol.
Also, I hope they put more side quests into the next entry.
+CodeNameZ Ive played the game 3 or so time and that's the point where i always hit a wall.

Because what I really like about the game is the open world you can explore and obtaining the triforce part pretty much lets you do exactly that. The only bad thing about it is how it takes away space for sidequests from the world (Some islands purpose was exclussively for the triforce) but then again this poses the question if there would have been such if it wasn't for the triforce.
What I liked about the triforce fetch quest is it gave you an excuse to explore the map, which I found fun. Each unit on the sea-chart had its own island, and a variety of tasks associated with it. The game-play involved with engaging them is quite entertaining.
Am I the only one that liked the Triforce hunt? It really gave a good sense of the vastness of the sea, and made you really feel like a treasure hunter. It was one of the few times in gaming where finishing it gave a very palpable sense of satisfaction.
I can’t believe I didn’t know this video existed until now! This is my favorite game of all time, I love this game so much. Awesome to see pbg on another episode of DYKG too!
So tingle is literally a weeaboo, except instead of thinking he is Japanese he thinks he is a fairy. Cool.
+Axel Andersson ...Which is what a weeaboo is. An anime/Japan nerd that thinks they should've been born Japanese or/and are obsessed over Japan. Tingle is obsessed with fairies just like weebs obsess over Japan... I think you get it now.
Axel Andersson Wait... I'm guessing you're just taking OP's use of literally too literal. They probably meant to say Tingle is a lot like a weeaboo, but just for fairies. If that's the case, I see what you mean.
Judge Udgey Axel Andersson Nobody cares. It was a joke.
im just glad your using the actual definition of a weeaboo instead of just using it as a insult like many people do
+Axel Andersson Fine. He's a fairy-weeb. Happy now?
Imagine what Wind Waker could have been if it weren't rushed...
+s1lverp3nguin Imagine what it could have been if they ditched the sailing gimmick.
That can't be possible
Perfect+ 1 = perfect
Jesus Senpai It's not perfect in my eyes. Mainly because of the sailing and it's a very easy game.
+The Introspector Why do people hate the sailing in Wind Waker? I love the idea of exploring the sea and sailing to islands visible in the background. It gives you a sense of adventure, at least for me anyway. I do agree it can feel slow and a bit tedious having to do the wind song for the one thousand time, but once you get that out of the way it's smooth sailing. And hey! If sailing's really annoying for you, then you can get an item called the Swift Sail in the HD remake of Wind Waker which makes sailing ten times faster and easy.
DeadhoofofWind The overworld, with the exception of the islands, is very empty and has nothing in it. Changing the wind direction is just tedious. Also just because they fixed something in the remaster doesn't mean the problem is completely gone. It's not like they just hand you the swift sail, you have to obtain it at the auction house which means you'll still have to do some sailing without the swift sail.
man I love these videos especially the zelda series. the opening to this video brought back a lot of memories and a tear to my 35 year old eye.
I'm glad we didn't end up having to hookshot onto Makar. Poor little tree guy :3
Still my favorite game of all time. The title screen music makes me cry almost every time I hear it.
5:45 I think I might be one of the few people who actually liked the triforce fetch quest. It was challenging in a good way and it served as a nice montage section of the game to search for upgrades and heart pieces.
Plus it's the one part of the game that feels really open-ended, as opposed to just getting a waypoint put on your map and being told "go here and oh btw you can't go anywhere else right now."
2:33 I also hear that the reason they implemented that was because after Miyamoto saw the design and noticed the big eyes, he wanted to know why he had those big eyes and what gameplay mechanic is could serve
The Gamecube had the best Zelda game, Wind Waker, and (In my opinion) the best 3D Mario game, Sunshine, but others can argue it was actually the Galaxy series.
+IcedVenom Nightcore I would say MM is better but I do love wind waker.
+IcedVenom Nightcore YES SOMEONE AGREES!
Melkhiordarkblade The Gamecube just had the best games like... Ever.
+HG Shurtugal Majora's Mask is definitely much better IMO than Wind Waker, I'll trade the generic story and vast empty overworld for an original story and compact overworld any day.
+IcedVenom Nightcore Super Mario Sunshine is aweosome, the blue coins not.
3:45 "these concepts show an adult Link in various action poses" Complete with Grump faces!
I wonder which Zelda dungeons were the unfinished Wind Waker dungeons.
Link growing up more and more over time seems like an interesting concept. Hopefully Nintendo does something with that in the future.
Awesome to see some behind the scenes of one of my favorite games of all times, and for me, my favorite soundtrack and one of the best looking games of all time.
Windwaker was my first Zelda game, and is still my favorite. I grew up next to the ocean, so sailing the Great Sea was like being home. It has by far the best soundtrack, and sometimes I would just hide Link in a corner so I could listen to the music. I still love the art style. I still love everything about this game!
I actually liked the Triforce quest.
I actually liked the triforce hunt part of wind waker, it kinda gives you a break from the dungeons and gives you a chance to explore the world
Players like Tingle? Wat?
+Purple Villager Tingle is a popular character in Japan so I think their referring to those players
+DanielWatercaster I like tingle
+DanielWatercaster I like tingle
+Purple Villager Tingle tingle, koloo limpa!!!
+Purple Villager Tingle tingle, koloo limpa!!!
The thing about the Triforce quests was that even if it was a bit dull, it encouraged exploration. And that was when you saw the true beauty of the game.
This game is magical. Plain and simple.
the Triforce collecting part was one of my fav sections of the game!
You really felt like a lonely pirate sailing from island to island and raiding the wooden watch towers for Rupees to pay for Tingle's services
I enjoyed the triforce fetch quest in Wndwaker HD
this video made me smile so big. Wind Waker is still one of the best Zelda games out there
I didn't mind the Triforce fetch quest that much, but that said I also like Metroid.
I've heard about the "two dungeons removed, used in other Zelda games" thing before, but I still wonder what those two dungeons were and which games they were finally included in.
I still think the Ancient Cistern (Skyward Sword) was one of them. I mean, there are plenty of instances that makes it so similar to something you'd find in Wind Waker, including the boss, whose weapon you have to pick up and use against it. Just a wild guess though...
Am I the only one who actually enjoyed the triforce hunt?
+Matthew Taylor probably
+Matthew Taylor I don't mind "annoying" stuff in video games unless they are difficult, unfair, timed, or otherwise pointed out to me by someone else.
@BountyHunterAquxDP i've thought about that a lot and always found sucky how the pirate ships had one of the charts while the rest were rightfully under lock and key with the need of the wind waker
a triforce piece couldve been lost forever at the hands of a pirate
The frogs flying on the clouds actually used to creep me out when I was younger xD
I think you need to fix your mic PBG
Surprised nobody mentioned how Wind Waker's artstyle also drew from an early prototype for a 3D Mother game.
I know why everybody complains about the Triforce fetch quest near the end of the game, but I actually really liked it. Maybe it's just my own sense of adventure and exploration though. But I understand why it wouldn't be for everybody.
+JohnnyCrimson2000 Yeah, the Triforce fetch quest was how I found the ghost ship and developed the patience necessary for dealing with squids. Freaking love this game.
+Flutterbutt225 oh yeah I remember the ghost ship, I haven't explored that much since my 2nd time playing through (pajamas mode lol)
I loved the Triforce quest! It was one of the best parts of the game.
I always find it crazy that other people didn't like the triforce hunt quest.
The quest was all about sailing around, finding mysterious islands, and trying to figure out what you can get out of each island, which was the most interesting part of Wind Waker's gameplay.
Am I the only one who actually liked the triforce quest?
No.
I always thought Link was around 13 or 14 in this game, and just seems to be a child due to the art style.
PBG!!!!!!! Hi!!!!!!
+बंडू जोशी Ayy Lmao
hOI
***** can somebody gib me da puzzy plz
Gibe dah gibe dah gibe dah possei b0ss
nyes
Probably my all time favorite Zelda game! The art and music are amazing! The story is also great as well. Plus the controls are great.
I heard in another video that WW sales were not that great because of the cartoon style graphics..I personally love the graphic style and this is one of my favorite zelda games..this and OOT are my 2 favorites
This is the first Zelda game I have ever touched, and I'm actually glad I did, because this game is a masterpiece.
*AN ADVENTURE.* *YEAH!*
By far my favorite game of all time.
The art style and music are second to none.
I'm glad someone else has that opinion on this game. Words simply can't describe how much adore Wind Waker it's my favorite game of all time for sure it just never gets old.
Best Zelda Game.
opinion
I actually really loved the fetch quest. Sure, it may have been long, but you could do whatever at your own pace, without specifically heading from point A to B. It gave me the sense of adventure, and what would've been like if you, the player, was Link at the time. And, it felt like an RPG, trying to solve puzzles and trying to move ahead and figure out where the pieces were located. I don't care what you all think, I personally loved it.
OH MY GOSH ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ THIS IS MY FRIKKIN MOST FAVORITE GAME EVEEER
3:10 "Ocarnia of Time"
I seriously want to see Tingle appear in another 3D Zelda game
+Sjono WHY?!
+Sjono Maybe in the upcoming WiiU title? :D
+Sjono Maybe in the upcoming WiiU title? :D
+Sjono I hope he will, he's an amazing character.
Did you know? The Great Sea is the cutest post-apocalyptic wasteland in any video game.
People who complain about the Triforce fetch quest have no sense of adventure, I swear...
+Marie's Real Husband It's not really that bad, and was in fact pretty fun my first, and I think even my second, time through it. I wouldn't be surprised if many of those that are complaining waited until the very end to do it all at once. That does seem like it could be frustrating, but it would be a self-inflicted punishment.
+Marie's Real Husband Just wait till they get to Morrowind.
+mammotharmored _ (mc) At least they made it less tedious in the HD remake version, for the first time I actually found it fun looking for the trifoce pieces.
+Marie's Real Husband Seriously, what's the rush? 90% of my time in a Zelda game is just exploring, then I make some progress with the main quest and head off. With the Triforce fetch quest, you can do both at the same time. Oh, there's a chart this way? I'll just explore in this direction then. Win win.
+Marie's Real Husband Somewhere...beyond this world...IS ADVENTUREEEEEE!!!OOOOOOOOH!!!ARE YOU READY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
I didn't mind the Triforce quest at all. The story is pretty fast paced and linear up through the Tower of the Gods, but suddenly after that the entire ocean opens up. It's a great incentive to start really exploring and adventuring. You can collect the shards, complete the Earth and Wind temples, and do any of the other remaining sidequests in any order at that time as long as you have the required items. One of the reasons that Wind Waker remains one of my favorite titles is the fact that it has so much freedom in the second half of the game, and there is so very much content to experience within that freedom. I hope the next game has the same feel to it.
"The idea to use a detotated wam"
I actually didn't mind the fetch quest that much. It gave me another chance to use the map I'd drawn up to make sailing more convenient without having to pull up the in-game map to check the treasure spots.
Are you ready to Mingle with Tingle?
If I were to speculate which two TP dungeons were originally meant for WW... I'd say temple of time and city in the sky
the legend of zelda part : who gives a shit anymore
How wonderful that this gets posted just as I'm right in the middle of playg this game for the first time!
Wind Waker is the best 3d Zelda imo
More like best Zelda amirite
+Qua lmaokai
no
+Nolan Garrard I agree, Wind Waker was much better than OoT.
+Lazy Canadian (Johnny Smallman) nice bait
Thank you so much for letting us know about the origin of the style and attributing it to Yoshiki Haruhana and Satoru Takizawa! I've been trying for years to pin down who to attribute that to.
The triforce fetchquest is literally the only reason I never finished wind waker.
Same. I didn't finish the original.
+mistwowlol I actually somehow got stuck around the middle and then I think I lost my disc, so I never got any further in than that. I think renting and playing through the remake three times now has more than made up for that though...
+mammotharmored _ (mc) I lost my disc too
Would've been me if I hadn't resorted to a guide.
*****
Exactly.
The tTriforce fetch quest was what made this game feel more complex than other Zelda games. You explore the entire map, one corner to the next, you realize that it is a pretty big map. Then it happens, you are told to find scattered Triforce pieces throughout the land, prompting you to visit places you might not have been to in a while. And let me tell you, the ghost ship actually gave me nightmares as a kid (and the fucking kraken-octorock thing.) The only thing that ruined some of the experience was the map deciphering
Oooo what a coincidence! Was just watching Cosmo's Speedrun of Wind Waker at AGDQ2014! Hahaha I've been waiting for this one, so glad it was covered by a beautiful man too
I actually liked the Triforce Quest. It gave you time to explore the overworld.
The best Zelda
in your opinion
as always
I like twilight princess because of the darkness feel to it. I've never played wind waker because I don't like the toon look to it. same reason I never really played skyward sword. but ocarina of time will always have a special place in my heart. haha
+Eric Herrera You're spamming the same comment too much
victor pena Never played Twilight princess but I'm looking forward to the remake. I like wind waker a lot because it looks really nice
4:18 Oh my god!! Why did they cut that Island out of the game?? It looks and sounds like a beatiful place! :O
Never really liked Wind Waker. Great game but not even in my top 5 Zeldas. Heh, what do I know anyway? I'm one of the few people that likes Twilight Princess.
EDIT: Meant to say "one of the few people that STILL likes Twilight Princess." By this I mean that it received massive praise upon it's release by fans and critics but recently it seems to get shitted on for being "gloomy, colorless, dark and boring." Personally, I don't care cause it's still an awesome game and preferences are preferences.
+BasedDeath Fafy I'm probably in even more of a minority. I enjoy Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker, and Twilight Princess pretty much evenly. I don't like Majora's Mask quite as much, but it still seems pretty solid overall. I find Skyward Sword to be alright, but it way overuses the motion controls.
+BasedDeath Fafy
(We found an opinion, call back-up) I haven't played too many Zelda games but from what I've played (Zelda 1, 2, LttP, Link between Worlds, OoT and WW) I like Wind Waker the best...... unless we count Hyrule Warriors, I'm so addicted to that.
+BasedDeath Fafy I would put Wind waker at number 1 on my list. then twilight princess, and then after that Minish cap. my 4th and 5th spots would be in any combination of Majoras mask or OOT (They're both awesome), or the Oracle games on the gameboy colour.
+BasedDeath Fafy wind waker is my favorite, then again i am the guy who prefers spirit track over ocarina of time and a link to the past.
+BasedDeath Fafy I freaking loved Twilight Princess! You aren't alone. Yup
holy crap. i've been playing this game for two years. it's the first zelda game i've really taken the time to play. i was stuck in a boss then quit. then came back to it many months later, finally beat it, then when on a run, feeling good about it, beat the next boss like it was nothing, got the master sword, met ganon. anyway, it kind of feels like i've been living in this game, even when i'm mostly away from it (i guess that's part of the beauty of a zelda game). my point is, the first minute of the video was already full of spoilers for me, lol. what a huge, epic game. man. nintendo is really something else.
really? I enjoyed hunting for triforce :(
I found it so annoying haha
Even on the Wii u remaster, I found the fetch quest horrendously irritating. it was blatant padding, and I didn't even feel motivated to go through it on my own. I just pulled out my phone, and searched up a guide. Not worth my time. Zelda games should focus on the dungeons, and this section was a huge-ass kick to my enjoyment. This is absolutely proof that games deserve delays to ensure a full experience.
+RAB Fuck the Triforce shards, even in the HD version it's still annoying.
+The Introspector No matter how pretty a piece of shit is, It's still a hunk if shit. That's my analogy for the Triforce hunt in the remake, lol.
OnionMaster not to sound petty, but... Wind Waker HD is a remaster not a remake. Sorry, it was bugging me.
I love Wind Waker and I also love the missions with medli the very subtle romance between link and medli it really makes the missions even better I remember playing it on my GameCube for the very first time I was 7 I didn't even notice the subtle Romance between those two I played it to day after so long I am 15 and now no i really appreciated it and another thing I played it on my original GameCube even better
lol, Tingle.
Love the king of red lions. The concept and design of this character.
Toon Link best Link
Wind Waker is my favorite, because of the style, the story, and all the characters. So loving!
"Eye-oh-numah" gotta love Americans failing at every foreign language.
Okay fem boy
I literally just beat this game today. I know you keep track of the games I'm playing, thanks DYKG!
grew to like tingle.... I FUCKING HATE TINGLE.... EVERYONE SHOULD
Wind waker looked great! Real talent, Nintendo at its best can always pull a gem out.
Ps Vita did you know gaming!! Please!!
Hah, nice try. People need to buy it first.
+Walter Payne I bought it. And a PSTV too.
T-T I have one!
Nice try Liam.
So we have a grand total of 2 people who own a Vita. Interesting...
Did you know, one of those unused dungeons was going to be an ice dungeon. but bits of it can still be found in the game on the ice mountain island. the island that spews out ice, which can only be stopped with a fire arrow, which then gives Link 5 minutes to explore and find the iron boots hidden inside.
U guys need to have pee but gay in more vids
Wha?
+Mr. Potus u got to be a hardcore normal boots fan to know this refrence
+Toats Oh, my bad. I thought you got screwed over by spell check.
+Toats they need the alien headed shit kid in more vids, too.
Bacnlovr fat aswell
2:40
That's called Head Tracking, it was first introduced in Resident Evil 2 for the PlayStation One and is a great mechanic that needs to be used more.
Just a friendly reminder to all the Weeaboos out there that otaku in Japanese is more of an insult and not meant to be something to be proud of if called on.
+Antwon Mianus
Otaku literally means nerd. It’s not always an insult but it can be.
actually i hear Otaku means more along the lines of crazy... then again the internet is full of mixed up definitions so who even knows anymore...
LordMao27
That doesn’t even make sense. So a train otaku is a crazy train? lol
well i never said i was right lol
+Antwon Mianus
Depends on the context really, otaku can have different connotations to it.
For some its basically the same as calling somebody a socially inept, basement-dwelling nerd (think shut-in types), but its also used more casually, like calling somebody a computer nerd or geek.
Wind Waker must have been such a happy experience for the development team. It was perfect.
Personally, I really loved the fetch quests!
I loved the feeling of searching for treasure and collecting items deep within the ocean depths. It didn't seem annoying to me at all.
I've actually watched this like 5 times haha but I've never really commented. Windwaker is one of my favorite games ever. I really love that Link looks at people and objects!! I didn't really understand as a kid, but I definitely felt so engrossed in this world because of it. I have so many good things to say about this but I'm not gonna ramble. Also PBG is life. :)
I really thought the fetch quest was an amazing idea. In other previous Zelda games, there's a LARGE emphasis on exploration, and everything being non-linear. In the fetch quest, it's almost like a throw-back to Zelda 1. I got to explore the whole land in search of the tri-force in any order I wanted. It gave me even more new reasons to explore this giant over-world, and at my own pace as well. Honestly, I prefer it over having 2 extra dungeons, it gives it that real classic feel.
It's crazy, all these thing that people apparently hated about Wind Waker, I loved. It made it more immersive to me and it was unapologetic.
Stepping around the issues like the art style furore and the question of Tingle's sexuality without mentioning them explicitly, well played.
Yea that fetch quest haunted me back in high school. And came back in glorious HD form when I got the HD Wind Waker Wii U bundle... At least the game pad looks amazing
