Er, Link returns home at a decisive point in the story, remember?
Gonna have to let me in on this one. I remember going back home for something. Don't remember what though.
I don't think people are mentioning the surround sound enough in this game. I'm early into the game, I just completed Dragon Roost Cavern, but there alone the 5.1 surround mix was one of the most impressive I've ever heard in a video game. Heck, it is better than many movies. More than once I thought the sounds were coming from another source in my house or outside somewhere. I am stunned at how wonderful it is, and how it has taken the game to yet another level along with the new visuals and the other extras and fixes. I'm blown away.
If you have the ability, crank up the volume and immerse yourself even more so in the Wind Waker universe.
Please tell me that Dragon Roost Cavern isn't already the high point for the sound and that it just gets better from there. Anyone else got any thoughts on this aspect of the game?
stop making me want a 5.1 setup. I've been living in stereoland since birth
most advanced I've gotten is four point surround on PC.

Boy oh boy. Can't wait to crank this mother out come Friday.

Where is the piece of heart in the Forsaken Fortress? I missed it the first time you go there, because I never got thrown in jail. I believe it's in jail or nearby but upon returning I cannot find it and it's impossible to be caught and thrown in jail on the second visit...
It's near the jail cell. Right outside the crawlspace you exit when escaping the cell.
It's in the same room you find the map.
Oh God, I wish we had that option. I would be thrilled if they could add this in an update or something. It is my only single complaint that I have with WWHD.
It has totally screwed me up going back and forth between this and GTAV. Each time I switch I have to take a second to readjust my entire mindset. Yes, I could switch the controls in GTAV I guess, but I'm not going to train my mind to having the WWHD way be the default way. I have too many years of training behind me now, lol.

Wait, the Tingle Bottles can be used to make figures? Fuck yeah! That's awesome!

It can be pretty frustrating if you're not careful. Personally, not worth the trouble, but if you want to shake things up it's nice to have from the get-go.

Tingle bottles are the best thing ever. Adds a new thing to do while sailing, and I think I'll actually be able to get all of the figures this time!
This is 10 times better than the GCN version, easily. The additions are small but mean soooo much.
EDIT: I love Hero Mode. For Dragon Roost it can be a real pain because you have no way to heal yourself yet, but that can be alleviated by saving and quiting, which will get you back to 3 hearts.

I love it, but the beginning of the game clearly isn't balanced for it. Once you get past the first dungeon though it's pretty great.

I completely disagree with LaunchpadMcQ, Hero mode is the best thing to happen to this game. When I played the original I basically ignored my health meter. Hearts were plentiful which meant no need for potions which meant no need for money (except for the triforce quest). Having to prepare before entering a dungeon, whether that be to stock up on bait to bribe rats or to collect monster bits to turn into potions adds a whole new layer to the game. You can't just run into battles swinging your sword because each heart matters, so planning every attack is key. It makes the game feel a lot more like a dangerous adventure.
And despite what some people are saying, Hero mode doesn't feel tacked on, but well planned. In the first dungeon you have an empty bottle, you find a rat hole in the middle of the dungeon, so you can finally fill up with a potion. If you don't have bait you can buy some from Beedle outside. There's always a way to fill up on hearts if you're smart.
Hero mode should be called normal and normal mode should be called easy, imho.
I love this art style so much. The vivid colors just put a smile on my face that almost no games on other platforms can. Nintendo messed up the release of the WiiU but I really feel like they can pull this back if they keep pushing out games as beautiful and timeless as this one. Really refreshing coming off of a generation filled with shades of gray and 'mature' serious business. Call it a cheap port but it did remind me why I started playing videogames back in the day and I'm loving every moment of it.
Amazing stuff. Makes me feel young again.

Need some help here after my underwater visit,
how do I figure out where to go after I met the two sages and get the two new songs? IMPORTANT, I'm not asking where, I'm asking how do I get next clue. The Red Lion just say door with musical instrument thing, but nothing comes to my mind. I regretfully read the spoiler and it said to go see the bird girl and the forest boy, but where were I'm supposed to be told of these in the game? How am I supposed to arrive at that conclusion properly in game?
I couldnt agree more. Now i understand why i hated ww so much. Hero mode makes all the difference!

On each tablet where you learned the new songs is a symbol. The Wind Temple tablet symbol looks like a leaf violin so that clues you in to going back to Forest Haven. The Earth Temple tablet has a harp on it. I'm not sure how you would know this, but the bird girl Medii is playing that harp when you go back to Dragon Roost island. Maybe the game is more explicit and I just missed the hints, but that's how I figured things out.
yeah lol first thing I did when I got to Forest Haven was catch a Firefly.
You can still give it to Lenzo for a Joy Pendant. He says some other stuff too but I'll let you enjoy it for your own.

Holy shit auction, I do not fucking want this fucking joy pendant for like 200 rupees, I WANT THE FUCKING SAIL. But no, I lost the auction, and now the only option is to win it so this thing can just go the hell away.
You can leave the auction by pressing B. I just did this over and over again until the sail popped up.

While I applaud your dedication I would direct your multi pic screenshot posts to our wonderful WWHD screenshot thread.

I want to go back for my pajama run right away, but I'm gonna give it some time before I delve back in. I was only missing about 10 figurines and nabbed all the endgame so I could wrap it up in an few afternoons.

The two people are carrying the items whenever you see them, it's really hard not to figure it out so long as you've been paying attention.

Holy shit. Not only does the Pictobox hold 12, not only does it tell you if a photo is good for a figure, and not only can you get photos from the Tingle bottles...
But you can dump 12 photos onto the figure making guy and have all of them made in one. Fucking. Day.

Yup. No one's got a decent excuse to not complete their Nintendo Gallery now.
Miiverse is there in case you miss out Kogoli and other missables.

I didn't realize it until I had already done like 12 pictures 1 by 1... just gave it a try next time around and was like OMG YES
The Triforce hunt wasn't the bad part of the game compared to the Pictobox statue part. That sounds so much better.

I never bothered with the Nintendo gallery in the original, so you could only have 1 figurine made at a time? That's crazy. I just unloaded all my photos without a second thought.

My god, after beating this version I could NEVER play the Gamecube version to the end ever again. Even with the tweaks it can still get tedious sailing around. I still adore the game, its awesome. I notice though that lots of the sidequests are pretty cryptic for today's standards. I had to check a FAQ here and there just so I knew where to head next.
Really like the way MiiVerse stuff has been integrated in the game so damn cool.

I'm aiming to 100% the game, and yes, the pictobox changes are huge. Personally I wish the box had an upper limit of, say, 100, but I guess they had their reasons.
I finished the gallery so quickly thanks to that change. Goodbye previous Nintendo Gallery master, you will be missed (whoever he's based on).
