Today’s game is some more Wind Waker. I started making my way through the first dungeon, but was stopped by my worst enemy: A dead controller battery. It’s a shame because I had just gotten the key.
Moving on though, having played the game before I feel like I can take it a bit easier and observe my surroundings. One thing I noticed was these statues, which remind me a lot of the ones in BoTW. I don’t think they’re a perfect 1:1 but they do remind me a bit.
I met Medli for the first time In this save. Growing up she was always my favorite character. As a small child I thought she was neat. As an adult, I still think she’s pretty cool, we’ll see if that perspective changes with a new playthrough though.
I absolutely love this game, it’s gorgeous, has an amazing story, and I feel like it’s an amazing Zelda game. But also, this puzzle can go fuck itself. I struggled way too long. Either my shot would overshoot to I’d undershoot. And I couldn’t take out the centipede thing because it kept bouncing back in the lava. Other than that though great experience.
I got the grappling hook tonight which is the dungeon item I remember from this game. I just remember it being used in a lot of cool puzzles and I wish we got to see it more often. I had to end shortly after this because my controller battery died unfortunately. But I’m going to play more tomorrow (after a charge)

I love Wind Waker so much. The Triforce quest toward the end gets some heat, but I think it’s great. Sailing around the open ocean and exploring the islands is the best part of the game. Wish they would have kept some of the cut content and had another dungeon or two, but still overall one of my favorite Zelda games.

I don’t think I hate the triforce quest as much as I see others, as I do have some fond memories of it. Just it drags on a little too long. I disagree with the people who want it cut entirely, but I can respect their opinion. The cut content is so fascinating too. I remember hearing the Iron Boots were cut, and it’s always triggered this sort of morbid curiosity where I can’t help but wonder what it would have been like to keep them.

The Triforce quest was somewhat nerfed in the remake. You get some fragments immediately instead of finding a map to them.
And the new sail kinda makes wind control useless for sailing which I’m honestly not sure I like. This is just a part of the game’s theme they cut, there is such a thing as too convenient IMO.
