Why is this game called Wind Waker? I can't say I've

>>375670559
You get an item called the wind waker which was needed to control winds.

The musical instrument you play in this game is called the Wind Waker.


Meanwhile, 2 games before it, the musical instrument you play in that game was called the Ocarina of Time.

>>375670818
I know what there is Wind Waker item, but it's not that imporant to the plot of the game compared to subtitles of other Zelda games

because you wake the wind up

>>375671010
Yeah true. It should have been related to Zelda/Ganon/Hyrule a bit more.

>>375671010
You literally use it so that you can sail across the known world singlehandedly.

If you setting is only a gigantic ocean and your technology is at the age of the sail then controlling the wind is the closest one person could possibly be to god.

>>375671510
It's been a while since I've played it, but I think you could beat game with using that item only a couple times

>>375671510
It's not relevant to the story though. The only actual magic thing is the teleportation song. Just being able to change the wind from north to south is fairly lame compared to the Ocarina.

Still, I like the name.

>>375671010
da fuck would you call it?

>>375671915
Legend of Zelda: Collect the Triforce Shards

>>375671694
Yeah but that doesn't mean much. You can blitz through a ton of games without engaging in the majority of their content.

>>375671837
It's not relevant to the key points of the story as they are told, but if you look at the bigger picture it's the glue holding everything together. Only somebody with the wind waker can bounce around this massive ocean and do all the shit that need be done. Just like only somebody with the ocarina of time can do what need be done in that game.

What is Breath of the Wild

>>375671915

Legend of Zelda: Tale of Red Lions

>>375674043
That's awful.
Putting tale in the title really only works if the narrative is structured and connected to the subject matter.

Just say Empty Kingdom or something.

Except the King himself and the kingdom of hyrule are still less important than the wind waker.

>>375672826
you're in the wild and you breath duh

Wind Waker is a cool name with multiple meanings (Link is also "the Wind Waker" in a sense) but the actual instrument needed more to do with the story. Maybe towards the end, Ganon should have realized it did something magic and wanted to steal it. Dunno.

>>375674940
Well if you think about it, in the final fight and Ganondorf's final comment could be portrayed as the waking of the wind in a forgotten desolate shell of a land, magically put in stasis.

>>375675232
True, but I wish he actually wanted the Wind Waker. It would make sense too, like to control the wind in new Hyrule to benefit Gerudo lands or something.

>>375675564
I think it's handled fine. The way he speaks he doesn't care for improving life for the Gerudo, just taking somewhere better for himself. In the WW timeline I assume the Gerudo like everyone else except for Ganondorf and the King evacuated the drowned world and moved on.

Twilight Princess follows the convention a bit, it's more Midna's story than anyone else's.

Skyward Sword is obviously a naming concept that fits OP's weird opinions much worse than Wind Waker though.

>>375677181

What I don't get is why Link, an outsider who does not belong on the island, is not capable of leaving the island.

I mean, it doesn't ruin my suspension of disbelief, I'm okay with blindly accepting that "Waking the Wind Fish is the only way", but they really don't go into detail about why Link wouldn't be able to leave the island, or in fact why they would even be able to know such a thing, if Link were the first real person to set foot on it.

Without the windfish awake its nightmare riddled mind would shit out more storms like the one that fucked Link over to begin with.
At least that was my interpretation.

Also the island isn't real. He's in the windfish's dream. So in that sense he can't leave because there is nowhere else.

I'm going to assume the Wind Fish set the limitations of the island as part of the dream, and made all the people aware of it.
Staying on the island is like gravity in the Wind Fish's dream: You're not explicitly aware of it but you know what happens if you try to fight it

does he? i thought the wind god gave it to you. maybe the boat gives it to you and you talk to the wind god right after, i dont really remember. and i guess the boat is actually the king of hyrule, so it makes more sense than any old talking boat giving it to you

He actually does.

>>375678273
He gives it to you and teaches you the song, then you just happen to bump into the wind god five minutes later.

>>375678312
He is racially biased against it.
He adores hyrulian wind but dislikes gerudo wind.

>>375678176
Is there a more weak zelda and ganon than in TP?

>>375678312

>>375678312

I know what he's gonna say, that coveting that wind meant he liked it.

But let me tell you, he hated that Hyrule wind more. Hylians got to live in the fucking lap of luxury, with their good wind, while he toiled in the desert. His harem members dying all the damn time, while King Fuckwit and his subjects get to live in a town where people shoot arrows and aim rolling bombs for fun. Hylians laugh in the face of death, hiding behind their walls. All because their windbabbies who don't know what a sandstorm is.

Why you think he fucks up Hyrule so badly? Not out of desire for power, or random evil. No. He just fucking hates wind.

>>375678734

>>375678734
>sandnigger problems

>>375678734
Doesn't suit his character to hate the soft, he just views them with disdain. His meme triangle is power. He was forged in a shithole and after being super powerful he just goes for a comfy change.
Something nice that somebody that powerful deserves.

>>375678734
>muh socio economic disparity

Clam down mister kangs.

Why didn't the Hylians just let Gerudo immigrate from the desert? Actual not bait question.

Wind Waker's credits music is the best piece of Zelda music there is, and the credits themselves, with Link and Tetra's smiling faces at the end is probably the most emotional I've felt in any Zelda game.

>>375679150
why does anybody live in the middle east?

>>375679150
They as a people probably didn't want to, not out of choice, just out of lack of considering the option.

Only the best amongst them wandered wide and came to desire more than the desert.

Gerudo's rule the ocean instead of the desert in MM and they were still criminal cut-throats and degenerates.

Superb as well, I just value the place the credits tune puts me in compared to that theme.

>>375679480
that makes sense, gerudos are a warrior race, right? so comparable to the huns?
