- The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
- FAQ by Cosmo
- ---What is the World Record?---
- You can find the best times here:
- http://zeldaspeedruns.com/leaderboards/tww/any
- Note that the Japanese version is quite different from the USA/PAL versions.
- ---What is different in the Japanese version of Wind Waker?---
- The text is much faster. This saves time in a speedrun.
- Some rupee, treasure chart, and heart piece locations are changed. The golden ship doesn't drop a Triforce chart, but a normal treasure chart instead. You have to go through a chain of treasure charts to get that Triforce chart. This costs time in a speedrun.
- Cabana Deed skip is harder on the JP version due to the way aiming inside of a wall works.
- Due to these differences, it is very hard to compare times between the Japanese and USA/PAL versions of the game. I currently play on the USA version.
- ---Why is this so called 'speedrun' 6 hours long?---
- Wind Waker is the longest console Zelda released. 6 hours is actually very fast for this game!
- ---What is a Tingle Tuner and why does it save time?---
- The Tingle Tuner is an in-game item that Tingle gives you. If you have a GBA connected you can buy a healing item. If I perform the Zombie Hover glitch, I can use Tingle's healing to survive afterwards, which lets me perform sequence breaks in Dragon Roost Cavern, Forbidden Woods, and Wind Temple.
- ---What are you doing with the Sail?---
- It is called sail pumping, and it is a decent amount faster than sailing normally. If you pull the sail you get an initial boost of speed. I simply press A to put the sail away, then Z to pull it out again, and repeat. This gives me the boost of speed over and over. It also helps me when I am sailing at weird directions such as 90 degrees off from the wind direction.
- ---Why do you need so many Rupees?---
- It costs 3184 rupees to decipher all 8 Triforce charts, which is required to complete the game.
- ---How do you keep drinking the Soup without losing it?---
- This is called the Soup Glitch. By pressing Soup and Start immediately afterwards, I am able to switch out the Soup for another item. After I unpause, Link drinks the Soup but it doesn't waste it, so I can use it again.
- ---What is the Cabana Deed skip and why do you obtain Forest Water?---
- There is an island where you must enter a Cabana. To gain access you must have the Cabana Deed, which requires 21 Joy Pendants and also playing a minigame on Windfall Island.
- However, if I pull out the Wind Waker on the same frame that the Forest Water expires, I can open a chest while the King of Red Lion's text is on the screen, which lets me walk around during the treasure chest cutscene. While in this cutscene I can phase partially into walls, enough to shoot the Hookshot through the wall. If I place a bomb down and time it perfectly, I can get knocked off the Hookshot into the Cabana without having to open the door. This saves about 4 minutes.
