Defending the Great Sea

March 18 2011 by Hanyou

Much has been made of the “emptiness” of The Wind Waker’s overworld. Sailing requires a significant investment of time, and the player is rarely required to do more than manipulate the camera or change the direction of the wind. Many gamers find this aspect of the gameplay boring, an unnecessary bridge between the much more exciting, enclosed islands located within the 49 squares that make up the overworld. There is some merit to this argument. To call the Great Sea…

Perhaps one of the most argued topics in Zelda timeline debates today is the Seal War, also at times referred to as the Imprisoning War. Theorists often question if what was once the story of the Seal War has become something different or altered today. Players first learned of the Seal War in A Link to the Past, but since, Nintendo has made multiple efforts in altering or changing the story. However, no title thus far has taken place during…

Hey there guys! Mailbag #016 is here. So this time I worked in some questions about the 3DS remake of Ocarina of Time and even one general Zelda question, but it’s still mostly about Skyward Sword. To be honest most of my doubts about the game (I do have them!) have been dissolving more and more as time wears on, even though there hasn’t been anything particularly new to hear about. Guess I’m just thinking about it more? Or maybe…

Hey guys! So this video discussion is all about Ganon. Specifically problems with him in some of the games. As I mention in the video, this is not a video of complaints about Ganon himself, but rather how he is treated and implemented in the stories and events of the games themselves. This video (and this will likely become common for discussion videos) is shorter than is typical for me and hopefully a little extra fun. I think this is…

Well hello guys! So finally I’ve got a new mailbag video. This one’s all about Skyward Sword, the new Zelda game. There’ll probably be a focus on Skyward Sword for the next couple weeks. That and the new Ocarina of Time remake on the 3DS. Also, a congratulations and thank you to Zeruda on the Zelda Dungeon forums for winning the Curiosity Shop Logo Contest! Here are the questions and their timestamps: (00:38) – What do you think of Skyward…

I’m back guys! Sorry for the wait before getting a new video from me. There was all that E3 and Skyward Sword stuff, plus there was a lot of news on Zelda Dungeon about it all, so I had to hold off until now to made a video about it. This video is basically my impressions about the game and everything we know about it. I do a little bit of going over all the facts and details that have…

Alright, this is it! Tomorrow is E3! As far as Zelda Wii goes, we’ll finally get to find out if some of our theories are correct and if we’re getting what we want. So, while there’s no Curiosity Shop this week, I wanted to make this special video. I’ve made an assortment of 6 predictions about Zelda Wii. This is stuff I’m so certain of that I’d be willing to bet at least 4 of them will be true, if…

Alrighty, guys! Unlucky #13! Weird stuff might happen this time because of the unlucky number. Wonder what, though? And hey, 13 questions! Most I’ve ever answered! About half the questions are Zelda Wii related, which should be a relief to those who didn’t like the Zelda Wii focus last week. Enjoy! Questions and their timestamps: (00:19) – Do you think Twilight Princess’ bosses were big to hide how easy they were? (01:15) – What do you think of the original…

Hey there guys! Got a new discussion video for you! In order to keep something of a Zelda Wii theme this week, I’ve made a Zelda Wii video to go along with the Zelda Wii themed mailbag earlier this week. This video is a list of things I’d like to see in Zelda Wii, and in some cases I discuss the merits and the likelihood of seeing these come true. It’s quite packed, actually. Some of the subjects I cover…

This video was just recently posted on Newgrounds. You can watch it there or click read more to view the embedded video. Anyone who’s played The Wind Waker should get this. It’s a funny music video playing on the moment in TWW when Link was launched into the Forsaken Fortress. You can also listen to the song on it’s own here. I gotta say I find this video quite hilarious. But what do you guys think of it? Funny? Meh?…
