Request
Can someone include the original screenshots of when this was first shown off at spaceworld? Link looked even more stylized then he does in the final game.
- Will look into this if I remember to. I guess publicly-released screenshots have no copyright, right? (Master Thief Garrett, 12:10, 13 Apr 2005, GMT)

I wouldnt say the art style was anything close to anime-style, in fact that's why i -didn't- like it so much. I mean if that's chibi, then so is every 'toon' in america.
First of all, the wording of the first paragraph is a bit wrong: "(...) the introduction of new items such as the Grappling Hook and Deku Leaf were added." I suppose technically there weren't any introductions before, but I doubt that's what the sentence is meant to say. Secondly, I'm pretty sure Ocarina of Time already featured a Grappling Hook, although it might have a different function now...? Retodon8
- 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.
- Remember, the idea with Misplaced Pages is that if you see something wrong you can change it. Just feel free to correct anything and everything to the way you want it, and if others don't like an edit they'll change it some more. Just be bold and go wild! :) Master Thief Garrett 6 July 2005 21:59 (UTC)
- 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. Ian Moody 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 198.31.162.65 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!
- 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. Deco 00:20, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
Wikibooks
wikibooks:The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker is in need of serious work. I have fixed some of the lists, but the main text of the walkthrough contains many inappropriate comments, language and needless spoilers. Lots of help is needed! ~ Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 01:17, 2005 July 20 (UTC)
Images
This article lacks images; the one that currently sits in the article is not very flavoured as it displays the backside of Link. 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 Majora Mask's Image:Termina Field.jpg). A map of The Great Sea (one similar to that of Majora Mask's Image:Termina.jpg) 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? 64.231.179.130 02:23, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
- I have included the same fair use rationale on the screenshot Image:Zelda wind waker.jpg that our delirious friend placed on the images in the Majora's Mask article. Any objections, comments, suggestions? 64.231.179.130 02:35, 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. 68.47.234.131 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 this interview 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. --Pagrashtak 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. --Pagrashtak 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. -- WikidSmaht (talk) 13:55, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
Orca
is there any use of becoming a "master swordsman" by fighting Orca? Darth Boz 02:50, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment
When I saw this game advertised on a cover of Nintendo Power Magazine, I really thought it was a joke. I feel they committed suicide with Windwaker, particularly because of the extreme amount of almost-chibi-but-not-anime-dumb-looking characters, the lack of the actual "Link" character (some weird short guy took his spot) and the just plain... non-zeldaness. No hookshot?? why would they drop a hookshot from the story? It's original, unlike a grappeling hook. No Ocarina?? Fooling around with the flute is much more fun than waving a toothpick at the sky. The way they changed graphic style probably lost many customers (like me) before it hit shelves. Twilight Princess... I think they are making this game to apoligise for the WindWaker and MinishCap incident. And although Twilight Princess looks extemely good, some think that the insanley high-tuned graphics are the only thing that is making it look so good. Someone post an opinion relating to this topic please! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 142.177.233.0 (talk • contribs) .
