OK, I'm still wondering if somebody can help out with the Great Sea page by adding pictures of the islands I wrote about. AND BEFORE YOU DELETE THIS, PLEASE READ THIS: I know this is not the Great Sea page, but the Great Sea page gets almost no traffic whatsoever, so I basically figured if I want some quick results, I should go to the Wind Waker page because it gets more traffic and the Great Sea is more closely associated with it. I'm not trying to cause trouble, I'm just trying to be productive. Thank you. ] 13:20, 1 March 2007 (UTC) |

:Yes, there have been grappling devices before--ALttP introduced the Hookshot that has since featured in later games--but the Grappling Hook in this case is a proper "hook" with rope and all, and probably operates differently (I've never played TWW). But certainly a mention could be made that it's the intellectual descendant of the Hookshot. |

::The hookshot is in ''TWW'' as well. The grappling hook has a three pronged claw and can be used for either hooking round branches or similar features and swinging from them, or thrown at enemies to steal spoils, hearts and other things. It can also be used on the boat to pull up treasure chests from the sea floor. The hookshot is pretty much the same as in ''OoT'' and ''MM'' from what I recall. ] 7 July 2005 07:24 (UTC) |

:::By now I have almost finished TWW and discovered the Hookshot as well. I didn't realise it was included, and something different from the Grappling Hook (although like Ian Moody mentioned, it does work differently). The only other Zelda I played is OOT, quite a while ago, and I think you started out with a Hookshot, later upgraded to a Longshot, both different from the GH. I am ignorant no more. :) (I'm going to edit the strange sentence now.) |

About the WW second quest.. Are there any other differences from the first other than the clothes of link and his sis, the DX camera, location of treasures, and the ability to understand Hylian? Do any of those things make the game worth playing again? I'm just a Zelda fanboy who needs to know!! Thanks ] 08:33, 18 October 2005 (UTC) hey everybody! i added the names of islands on a map supplied by www.z64planet.com (p.s u guys rock!) damn! wouldnt work! 0 well cyaz! |

== Intro edits == |
|
:I think the clothes and Hylian alone was reason enough to replay, especially when the game's so much fun in the first place, but each to their own. ] 00:20, 9 December 2005 (UTC) |

|
|
I've twice reverted parts of the recent edits to the introduction. The reason is that the previous version read better than the changes. Specifically: |
|
|
*The following sentence is phrased awkwardly: "The element of ] has a prominent role, by facilitating sailing and being controlled with a magic conductor's baton called the Wind Waker." |
|
|
*The following sentence introduces passive voice: "Instead, a distinctive cartoon-like art style was created through ], originating the ']' character." (I also don't think the sentence benefits from being broken up). |
|
|
*Calling the art direction "whimsical": I don't think this is the right word choice. At any rate the previous paragraph already establishes what the art direction is like. |
|
|
*The article verifies that the divisiveness among North American players contributed to weaker sales in comparison to Ocarina of Time, in fact this is a pretty significant part of the game's history. Removing that hurts the flow. |
|
|
*"As a result, the subsequent '']'' (2006) has a more natural and serious look." This doesn't flow right. As a result of what exactly? As a result ''of comparatively weak sales'', Nintendo changed directions with the visuals. As a result of that decision, Twilight Princess has a more realistic style (I don't think that "natural and serious" are the right word choices) |
|
|
*Splitting the sentence on the character's allies and activities strikes me as unnecessary, but I'm open to this if others support the change. |
|
|
There are some good changes that I'll restore, and others that should be made. In general this introduction has suffered from content creep over the years; I'll get to work on fixing that.--] ]/] 20:29, 8 August 2020 (UTC) |

I'm aware that the two versions (OG and HD) have separate articles, but at the end of the day they're the same game at its core. Pages where the remasters are merged with the original game (] and ]) don't have either marked as exclusive for their respective consoles (Xenoblade's remaster in particular has WAY more identity than Wind Waker's in my eyes). I could totally be wrong with this thinking, and if I am, I'd appreciate a link to Misplaced Pages's policies on remakes (if such a page even exists).

I think you will find he is Link, none of the Links who appear throughout the series are known to be blood relatives, its kind of a mixture of fate and the Hyrulian gods who Link turns out to be/recieves the triforce of courage. |

== Images == |

This article lacks images; the one that currently sits in the article is not very flavoured as it displays the backside of ]. If a screenshot demonstrating the use of cell-shading should be present in the article, I believe that it should, in the least, feature Link facing the camera. If not, perhaps an up-close-and-personal view point from the protagonist's eyes could be desirable. Also, an image of The Great Sea in general would add flavour to the article (one similar to that of '']''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s ]). A map of The Great Sea (one similar to that of ''Majora Mask''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s ]) would also be rewarding. Personally, I believe that an image of the King of Red Lions should be included as well, considering that he supplies a major role in ''Wind Waker''. Any thoughts, suggestions? ] 02:23, 23 January 2006 (UTC) |

==Oh really?== |
|
|
"The whimsical look was also compared to the similar style of A Link to the Past and promotional artwork from previous Zelda games." Does anybody have a source for this claim? It seems like both POV and factual inaccuracy to me. Wind Waker looks nothing like A Link to the Past, and I don't remember promotional art from any previous Zelda game looking anything like Wind Waker. ] 03:13, 24 January 2006 (UTC) |

:Wow, the one sentence I don't put a footnote on. (kidding) I didn't say they looked the same, I said they were compared. I did take the word ''similar'' out, that was misleading. What is currently note 7 (Mirabella III, Fran, May 22, 2002.) compares ''WW'' to the world of ''Link to the Past'' and Miyamoto remarks in about matching box art styles. If you remember the drawings of Link and other characters from the time of the original ''Legend of Zelda'', they were drawn like cartoons, as opposed to the more realistic Link of ''Ocarina of Time'' character sketches. Persons would write letters to the editors of game sites complaining about how ''WW'' looks like a kiddy cartoon, and they would be reminded that Link started as a cartoon. I'm sure you can find some articles or letters sections mentioning this if you do a litle research. I don't understand why you feel the sentence is POV, though. I'm not saying that being compared to those things is good or bad, just that it happened. --] 06:45, 24 January 2006 (UTC) |

== Takt == |
|
|
|
|
|
A.f.a.I k., takt isn't an English word, even if it's on the Japanese box, it's useless as an English translation. |
|
|
:True, it's not an English word. The inclusion in the article is a representation of the title as given on the Japanese box, not an English translation. Writing "Baton of Wind" would be speculation, as multiple translations based on ''Kaze no Takuto'' were given prior to the official English subtitle. --] 04:41, 30 January 2006 (UTC) |
|
|
::That's because ''takuto'' was an uncertain word, difficult to translate with other possible meanings like ''wand''. But the "translation" proves that they meant it to translate as ''takt'', which has a very specific meaning: a conductor's baton. -- ] (]) 13:55, 30 January 2006 (UTC) |
|
|
:::It's a pretty obscure word, though. Most reference sites either have nothing at all about it or have something different to what is apparently meant by it (Encarta, for example, lists it as either a musical direction or 'beat' or 'bar'). It may be the most appropriate word, but it could do with some explanation in the article. There's no point in including the translation if nobody's going to understand it. — ] 23:44, 15 November 2006 (UTC) |
|
|
::::"タクト" (''takuto'' = ''takt'') is a Japanese word of German origin. "Takt" is the German word for "bar" (when talking about music). However, in Japanese it has an entirely different meaning: It is a synonym for the word "指揮棒" (''shiki･bō'') and means "baton". ] 06:51, 14 July 2007 (GMT) |

:Nintendo's official walkthrough calls it "Hyrule Castle" in the section "Get the Master Sword", and a "palace" in the section "Enter Ganon's Tower"; the official game site calls it Hyrule Castle.

== Line removal == |

|
Though it can be seen in the edit history, I removed the line "popularized by other such games as Jet Set Radio and the Sly Cooper series of games." The reason for this is, despite them being true references to cel-shading, only Jet Set Radio had been released by the time the SpaceWorld demo was shown. Jet Set Radio on its own didn't popularize the technique either. So this has no relevance to the developmental history of this game.] 05:48, 10 January 2007 (UTC) |

I've checked and edited some of the parts of the dungeon section, it's good, but needs improvement, it needs more of an encyclopaedic tone, something like "dark and creepy" is not encyclopaedic. You could put more information in the dungeons, like commenting on the theme of the dungeons, like the theme of the puzzles, and what they involve. |
|
|
There is also some simple errors, you state something like: "strangely, the moving slabs defy gravity" When many dungeons in the Zelda series involve this, so it isn't specific to this dungeon. |

And you state something like: "The Tower of Gods can be seen from most of the Great Sea" when this is obviously wrong. |

I don't remember that many gravity-defying platforms anywhere else in the game, the Tower of the Gods had them all over the place. As for the Earth Temple, I know "dark and creepy" doesn't exactly sound professional, but that is basically what the feel of the dungeon was, like the Shadow Temple in OOT. |

And the Tower of the Gods can be seen from almost anywhere in the Great Sea. You can see it from Outset Island, you can see it from Windfall Island, you can see it from the Forest Haven, and you can see it from Dragon Roost. ] 22:31, 3 March 2007 (UTC) |

Don't get touchy about it, I'm trying to help improve your editing, that gravity-defying thing probably wasn't your edit if you don't remember it. I don't care about how it feels, some games feel like glitchy, crappy wastes of money, but I don't put that down, '''keep an encyclopaedic tone'''. As for the Tower of Gods, I '''highly''' doubt it can be seen from almost everywhere, I don't recall being able to see it from Outset island. Remember, I'm giving you '''constructive''' criticism . ] <sub>]</sub> 22:49, 3 March 2007 (UTC) |

I wasn't getting touchy, I was just defending what I had written in that article. Emotions aren't portrayed very well on the internet. I don't resent your commenting on my work, I was hoping that somebody would. |

All I meant was that the Earth Temple is one of those places that the developers meant to be creepy, like the Shadow Temple from OOT or the Arbiter's Grounds from TP, but I understand that "dark and creepy" doesn't exactly sound professional, so I'll replace that with "haunted." |

The Tower of the Gods can be seen from many places, and I recall seeing it all the way from Great Fish Island. The only places I couldn't see it from were the easternmost islands. As for the hovering platforms, I'm pretty certain that there weren't any hovering platforms in any of the other dungeons. Other dungeons like Dragon Roost Cavern and the Earth Temple had platforms hanging from chains, but not hovering. ] 23:03, 3 March 2007 (UTC) |

Well, I can't be bothered going on my Wind Waker and checking the Tower, so I can't really argue on that one, eventhough I still doubt it. As for the platforms, I meant that the Zelda seies, not just the Windwaker was full with these hovering tiles, so it isn't really an odd circumstance, and is really customary in the Zelda series. Sorry for the "touchy" comment, it turned out I was the one being touchy and you were alright. I still doubt the Tower of God comment though, I'll check tomorrow. ] <sub>]</sub> 23:17, 3 March 2007 (UTC) |

Eh, no big deal. I just remember when I was playing the game that the Tower of the Gods was visible from an extreme distance. It's not really a big deal............man, we must be Zelda nerds to be debating about something so inconsequential. ] 23:28, 3 March 2007 (UTC) |

I have some stuff I might add (if it's a good idea), things like, for example, being more specific about gameplay in the Earth Temple (mentioning that Link often has to let Medli fly him across ledges or mind-control her and activate switches, fly, and reflect light with her harp). |
|
|
Oh, and about the Tower, I don't think it's technically possible to see it all the way from Outset; at a certain distance, the game takes it out of memory, replacing it with a 2D silhouette; the skybox (or more correctly, the "weird set of chopped up funky-shaped polygons that is oddly-shaped to make the sky look 3D") follows Link so at a different distance, the Tower would actually be outside the sky and would be removed from memory entirely. |

== Is this English class? == |
|
|
I was wondering why basically every word in the article links to another wiki article, even if it doesn't involve the game in any way. The words "sail", "wind", and "baton" are linked twice. Other words like "bombs", "temple", "rooftop", "wings", "ocean", etc are linked. Are we trying to teach people how to speak English here? There's no reason why any English speaker who reads this article shouldn't know what all these things are. --] 02:03, 31 March 2007 (UTC) |

There is a difference between knowing the meaning of something and wanting to know ''more'' about it, on Misplaced Pages, most people know what they are being linked to, but don't know enough about it. It is an encyclopaedia - not a dictionary. ] <sub>]</sub> 09:31, 31 March 2007 (UTC) |

:How is that justifaction for linking every word in the article? If people are looking to find out what an ocean is they don't need to see it through The Wind Waker article. The purpos of linking is to show '''''related''''' material, not to give the wind article hits. Also, many of the links convey the wrong idea. If you link household rooftops when refering to the top of Ganon's tower, as is done in the article, it will generate confusion. The funniest example is the "]" link, a stub article about fishing bait, when refering to a giant worm boss. --] 19:15, 1 April 2007 (UTC) |

::Alright, I cleaned it up as best I could. I may have linked or unlinked the incorrect text, and I'm sure I missed a few. Gannon was linked about 5 times. You don't need that many links to the same thing. Please don't link to the biological makeup of eyes and things like that. It has nothing to do with the article. It just wastes space, diverts attention, and makes the article look sloppy. --] 20:07, 1 April 2007 (UTC) |

Hang on, I just stepped into this conversation, and I want to make sure that I read that right. Did you say that someone made a link from the section on Molgera, the giant worm boss, to fishing bait?! Who the frickin' hey uses hooks that big?! ] 22:03, 5 April 2007 (UTC) |

I agree. In the future we should point out ] because at the very least a fishing lure and a giant worm boss are not in the same context or a link about rooftops when we talk about the top of Ganon's castle. It also warns against overlinking meaning that there Ganon should never be linked 5 times. --] 03:56, 7 April 2007 (UTC) |

There are a few innuendos in this game (not sexual ones, well, maybe, but I'll have to re-examine the text) Ganondorf says "now return to the evil world below," when he is about to kill (not so mellow after all, eh?) Link. He is obviously talking about hell (excuse me).

I don't remember that line. I remember it being "Now return to the world below and tell them ," where the world below refers to Hyrule. But yeah, kiddie game is a bad label for it, especially when you remember that Tingle is in that game. ] 18:11, 13 April 2007 (UTC) |

|

I'll say! But I thought about it, and you may be right. But, then again, Ganondorf had no idea that Hyrule still existed (correct me if I'm wrong). And even if he did, he likely remembers Hyrule's destruction. Those men would've been dead. |
|
|
:I'm fairly certain that he had a good recolection of Hyrule being flooded, and I would imagine that he had a sneeky suspicion that it still existed, since that's where he was trapped until the beginning of WindWaker. Maybe it's just me. ] 19:22, 14 April 2007 (UTC) |

If you remember when you find out who Zelda is (for those of you who haven't played it I won't ruin it for you) Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule says that Ganondorf has erected a barrier around Hyrule castle and that you must search the above world to find the entrance to the Earth and Wind temples. (And there is barrier around the castle that you can see while there as well) That proves that Ganondorf knew about Hyrule and was trying to stop the next hero from restoring the Master Sword. ] 17:05, 30 May 2007 (UTC) |

:No. It's not really part of the story, and is likely just due to using the same character models. I didn't even notice it until you mentioned it. ] 17:26, 16 April 2007 (UTC) |

I agree with JDub90. The reason they still had the Triforce on thier hand is due to the fact that Nintendo probably just reused the charecter models. ] 17:05, 30 May 2007 (UTC) |

I was just reading through this article, and, while on the story section, I noticed that suddenly the text was becoming very over-detailed. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, often it's very nice, but that particular portion reads somewhat like a fan fiction/game guide combo. Personally, I don't want to read a complete play by play of the story, and Misplaced Pages doesn't really need one. I, having never played the game, am in no possition to suggest what should be removed. I'm not trying to force anyone to think like me, but the article doesn't need to be the way it is. Check out the ] for a rought idea of how to move forward. |

I've twice reverted parts of the recent edits to the introduction. The reason is that the previous version read better than the changes. Specifically:
There are some good changes that I'll restore, and others that should be made. In general this introduction has suffered from content creep over the years; I'll get to work on fixing that.--Cúchullain /c 20:29, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
I'm aware that the two versions (OG and HD) have separate articles, but at the end of the day they're the same game at its core. Pages where the remasters are merged with the original game (Xenoblade Chronicles (video game) and Skies of Arcadia) don't have either marked as exclusive for their respective consoles (Xenoblade's remaster in particular has WAY more identity than Wind Waker's in my eyes). I could totally be wrong with this thinking, and if I am, I'd appreciate a link to Misplaced Pages's policies on remakes (if such a page even exists).
