Sage of Tales
An online friend of mine recently played Wind Waker and fell in love. She says she's sure it will always be her favorite Zelda game because she lost her "Zelda virginity" to it. She must play other games now. Anyway, in our talking about it, she raised a question that I told her "Everyone raises this question, or at least my guy and I were making fun of the whole thing when I was playing the game."
When Link manipulates the winds, how does that effect the rest of the world? Does it effect it at all? I mean, isn't he totally messing up the world's climate by doing that? Messing up trade for the merchant ships and causing shipwrecks with all his sudden wind-current changes? Or, as my friend asks "What about the poor Rito postman?" - I envisioned a fan fiction or fan comic that has him setting out to his duties, riding the wind, only to have it suddenly change on him and send him smacking into a rock.
I don't think Nintendo thought too hard about it. Wind-changing was a game device to help you - the Hero.
Those of us who are into overall story and worldbuilding, however, are left scratching our heads.
