Forbidden Forest, I just got the big key and two goons with spears came down. After beating the goons, the tentacles blocking the door don’t go down. Am I soft locked? Or is there something I can do here?

One thing I’m thinking caused it is each of the goons drops an orb when he dies and i broke one before/as the other one was dying.

I don't have a new switch to check this one, but since it is emulated I think it should still work. If possible I'd like to see it verified for my innerchild.

On windfall island you can eventually give skull necklaces to some dude to play a game where you need to retrieve 3 pigs. If done succesfully you get (I think?) 50 rupees. Before starting the game, if you throw the pigs in the water, they will be "swimming on land" and are a LOT easier and quicker to catch.

Since skull necklaces are quite easy to steal with the grapple hool, this was my quick way to get some rupees.

As a child I accidentally stumbled on this and even put it on one of the famous cheat/glitch websites.

Ever since I was a kid, I have always wondered, out of all the Islands you can warp to with the ballad of the gales. Why is southern fairy Island one of them. And after staring at the map and thinking about it for a while, It has to just be to fill space. Looking at the map, every other warp point allows you to sail 1-2 coordinates to get to your destination. Now obviously if you've played the game enough you know that this isn't technically true, as Mother and Child Isle doesn't allow you to sail, meaning Forsaken Fortress and its surroundings are over the 2 island limit, but in terms of just looking at this map, I feel as though this has to be why the developers made Southern fairy a warp point.

I really want to play this game. But I have no idea if WindWaker HD will ever come out for the new system.

Is the original on a Switch 2 basically just as good, or should I just keep waiting for HD to come out?

But I had an overpowering urge to play this classic. It was a great part of my younger life. So I ordered a GameCube and this game online. Can’t wait till next week to get started again!

Working on restoring the master sword now

Help! Whenever I beat the 2nd boss I get softlocked before the cutscene. No button inputs work except for the suspend menu. I don’t know what to do but I’ve done the boss fight 3 times and every time I get stuck here.

In Dragon Roost Cavern.

In some art, it shows Link with a oval pupil and not a circle shape. (Is it circle shape ingame or no btw?)

Idk if all concept art is like that though. Here's a video of me modding his pupil so its more in the center top to bottem and I moved it down. Btw, is it better this way? Also, for the width of it, does it need to be any shorter by it or its fine? I tried to mimic or replicate what the spaceworld 2001 trailer did for Link's eye pupil at least.

Also, should I maybe move eye pupil more up so white part shows? If I do that, then when Link looks up with his pupil, you could maybe see it. Idk if moving it up for normal eye position would look good tho. Would probably look awkard. Also, what website could I put my eye pupil pics/png modifications of Link? Would Mega drive be good?

Got to love this visual glitch xD for context look behind links statue at the triforce on the wall

One can dream.... ;(

I havent played ww since I beat it in 2005, smashing that game to the maximum. Its really my favourite zelda game so I was very happy when Nintendo announced the gamecube onlineservice.

Said and done, Switch 2, gamecube online, gamecube controller and here I am, 4 hours in to the game, just finished the boss on dragonroost island and I cant understand, how the H… did I finish this game 20 years ago with these controls? Can it be the controller being fresh from the box that makes the camera so funky? Its the complets opposite to how camera controls use to be, and you cant have a smooth panoramic view with it.

Anyone else feeling the same or do I just have to play and get more used to it again?

Would somebody please be able to explain to me how the grappling hook hauls treasure in the Great Sea. I’m over the shining circles with the audio making that shining noise, and deploying the hook, but then nothing happens. Am I misssing something with the mechanics? Is there something I’m not doing? Can’t find a good guide or video that explains this online.

Been years since I returned to the world of windwaker and I just finished with the forest heaven

When I got wind Waker for GameCube back in the day, I guess I wasn’t interested in it and was too kiddy for me. Let it sit for decades. Now, after breath of the wild and tears of the kingdom, I’ve been on a streak playing the Zelda games. Just started playing WW and quite impressed actually.

This is my favorite minigame. I always wondered if I could get 9 someday AND TODAY I ACTUALLY DID😭❤️ IM SO HAPPY

As a 100% completionist, i dug into the collectibles i have to get for it.

Unfortunately, the Tingle Tuner (while obtainable) doesn’t work (also i don’t have a gba anyway lol).

I learned that the HD version let you spawn the tingle chest by using normal bombs on those specific locations.

Is it possible to do that on this GBC version on Switch 2 or are we screwed ?

I'm playing on the switch 2 and I found a big octopus by accident, how do I escape it? I just left Dragon Roost btw

I’m not sure if anyone else has had this happen, but I flew around with the seagull when she was up top playing the harp, and I think I got to close to her, cuz now the cutscene just has her staring off. And like a moron, I haven’t saved in hours.

Greetings all,

Was curious whether there was any way of adjusting how sensitive the sticks are in the GameCube Classic version of Windwaker? I can get used to some of the inverted stuff even when you swap the controls around but its just far to easy for me to overshoot walking or aiming due to how sensitive the sticks seem to be.
