In this ninth entry in the Legend of Zelda series, Link debuts on GameCube with a fun new cel-shaded look, but the game stays true to the respected heritage of the series. The classic mix of sword-swinging action, perplexing puzzles and stirring story lines remains intact, but the stunning cel-shaded graphics give the people and places of Link's watery world a wildly artistic new look. And for the very first time, Link sails freely on the high seas. Join Link on his most epic and scenic adventure yet. Face unimaginable monsters, explore puzzling dungeons, and meet a cast of unforgettable characters as he searches for his kidnapped sister, Aryll.

Wind

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, released as The Legend of Zelda: Baton of Wind (ゼルダの伝説 風のタクト Zeruda no Densetsu: Kaze no Takuto) in Japan, is an action-adventure game and the tenth installment in The Legend of Zelda series.

The game is set on a group of islands in a vast sea—a first for the series. The player controls Link, the protagonist of the Zelda series, as he struggles to find his sister and save the world from Ganondorf.

The Wind Waker follows in the footsteps of Ocarina of Time and its sequel Majora's Mask, retaining the basic gameplay and control system from the two Nintendo 64 titles. A heavy emphasis is placed on using and controlling wind with a baton called the Wind Waker, which aids sailing and floating in air. Though controversial during development for its use of cel shading graphics and the cartoon Link character, The Wind Waker was met with positive reception.

Problems

Picto Box Freeze

The game will totally freeze/crash when snapping a photo with the Picto Box. Disable Store EFB Copies to Textures Only to correct this, though game may still briefly freeze when snapping photos.

Enhancements

Mipmap Effects

Like many official Nintendo games on GameCube and Wii, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker uses mipmap levels to control some effects. As an enhancement, Dolphin uses higher mipmap levels further away as internal resolution increases to make textures look sharper. This breaks effects that rely on accurate mipmap levels. While support for detecting these cases was added in 5.0-5731 it requires the CPU texture decoders. As such, mixing high resolution output with GPU Texture Decoding will cause the wrong mipmap levels even after the fixes were added.

16:9 Aspect Ratio Fix

The built-in Widescreen Hack causes clipping issues. The following AR/Gecko code works as a replacement, causing fewer issues. To avoid conflicts, make sure that Widescreen Hack is disabled while using these codes.

NA

EU

JP

At least the NA code causes a misalignment with the display of the magic bar and it's outline until it has been upgraded.

HD Texture Packs

Removing Distance Blur

The distance blur is built into the game, but to some, it looks off on higher resolutions. The blur can be disabled using Action Replay codes shipped with Dolphin.

Configuration

Only configuration options for the best compatibility where they deviate from defaults are listed. Bba stargame shower hour uncut.

r3972Windows 7Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 3.2GHzNVIDIA GeForce GTX 285The game is running at 1920x1200 resolution with 16xAF and 8xCSAA. Fraps takes a tremendous chunk out of performance. While recording I was getting about 18-25FPS in game, while playing without recording I get normally 25-30 depending on how many creatures are on the screen. If you can I strongly recommend overclocking your CPU as much as safely possible to play games on Dolphin. I suggest never using Idle Skipping, Framelimit should be off, and use Optimize Quantizers for this game. Dual Core is a huge plus. Always have 'Enable safe texture cache' checked. Your graphics card will determine how high a resolution and what levels of AF or AA you can run. The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker - Dolphin SVN3972 (HD)darkl3ad3r

Framerate drops when using any level of Anisotropic Filtering. Some slight lag (about 25FPS) in places with many particles, such as the Forest Haven. However, with Dolphin 4.0, in Dragon Roost Cavern, the heat effects are glitched, so when I play this game, I generally use a newer version of Dolphin. Sadly, the newer versions of Dolphin drop support for Direct3D9, and the alternative is Direct3D(11) and OpenGL, both of which run slightly slower than Direct3D9.ImAFutureGuitarHero

Runs extremely well; 100% everywhere apart from some occasions when fighting large amounts of monsters at the same time, when it went down to 60% minimum (only for a split second or two), DX11, 8 x AA, 4 x Internal etc, some graphical glitches, fire doubling effect occurs on 4.0.2 so recommend downloading a newer revision to avoid this. Other graphic glitches include some odd lighting effects on armados monsters (concrete statue things with spikes on the bottom than spin around and explode when you kill them), Pictograph quest is slightly bugged as Lenzo will not recognize certain pictographs, take a look on Google for the solution for this; fully playable!Himalayan

4.0.2Windows 7Intel Core i5-3470 @ 3.2GHzAMD Radeon HD 7770Runs mostly at 30FPS on 4x Resolution with the OpenGL backend, no anti-aliasing. Anisotropic filtering gave a slight slowdown with no visual difference. Graphics had to be cranked down in some areas, presumably caused by the wide array of particle effects on screen or because of how many objects were on screen (ex: windfall island). Widescreen achieved with the above AR code. Fire effect partly fixed with the other above AR code. Fire doubling fixed with above texture.Hackapell2013
4.0.2Windows 7Intel Core i7-3517U @ 1.9GHzIntel HD Graphics 4000D3D9 backend, Skip EFB Access from CPU checked, Scaled EFB Copy unchecked, Fog disabled, used the AR code to fix the heat effect problem. I've beaten the game and it runs full speed through the entire game, with minor slowdowns at rare instances. I even left Fast Depth Calculation on, and didn't encounter anything that bothered me. Turning VBeam Speed Hack on cuts the FPS in half (like EXACTLY half). I did encounter three issues though: taking pictures with the Pictograph crashes the game if EFB Copy is set to Texture. Setting it to RAM fixes this. Also, Lenzo would not accept the third picture in his sidequest no matter what. EFB Copy to RAM, Cache Unabled and Allowing Access from CPU to EFB fixed the problem. Also, EFB to Texture crashes the game just before the final battle with Ganondorf. Setting it to RAM during the cutscene before the fight fixes it (you can change it to Texture again during the battle).Artur
4.0.2Windows 10AMD FX-6300 @ 3.5GHzAMD R7 250No problems using default settings, smooth 30 FPS when using OGL renderer and 60 FPS when using DX9, no slowdown, graphical glitches or sound problems encountered so far.RunDevilRun007
4.0-681Windows 7Intel Core i7-860 @ 2.8GHzNVIDIA GeForce GTX 680Fully playable in all areas in 1080p (Max settings) at 30FPS with OpenGL plugin and Xaudio2 HLE DSP. With LLE DSP the game have huge slowdowns and became mostly unplayable, even with dumped DSP files from my Wii. Remember to modify GameSettings ini file to enable HLE DSP use for this game. Also used additional WideScreen Hack and Dragon Roost heat effect fix action replay codes from wiki page.GNU_Raziel

4.0-5010Windows 8.1Intel Core i7-3520m @ 3.3GHzNVIDIA GeForce GT 640M-LEI've been playing this with December revisions, since around rev 4900, the emulation is perfect in OGL, though some textures flicker with D3D, they seem to be shadows. Not once did the game crash, and everything worked exactly as it should; this was using OGL all the way. Completed the game at 1.5 internal resolution, 8x AA and 16x FA. EFB was set to texture and fast, the default setting. The game slowed down only when a large quantity of enemies were around, though my processor is not particularly fast for Dolphin. I suspect this would not have happened at 1x resolution though. A year ago trying to play this was impossible to me with default settings; beyond doubt, the emulator has picked up speed and precision.UDEM-42
4.0-6697Windows 7AMD Phenom II X4 965 @ 3.4GHzNVIDIA GeForce GTX 560Perfect at 30FPS with very slight FPS drops (1-2 FPS) for some sections at 4x IR, 8x AA, 16x AF, Per-Pixel Lighting, Scaled EFB Copy, and Forced Texture Filtering on the OpenGL Backend while using Hypatia WWHD texture pack. When using the Tingle Tuner, connection is established, and there seems to be no major issues, everything works fine, but there is a FPS drop no matter how low I turn the graphics settings to around 27 to 22 FPS when using VBA-M 2.0.0 Beta 1RoboHometro
4.0-6803Windows 7AMD Athlon II X2 250 @ 3GHzNVIDIA GeForce GT 440Played from the beginning to the end with no problems or glitches at all, with the exception of FPS drops in big areas or in the rooms with special effects (e.x. Heating effect in Dragon Roost Cavern rooms). My settings: used both OpenGL and Direct3D, 16:9 AR, 2x IR, DSP HLE, enabled Force texture filtering and Skip EFB access to CPU. VBA-M connection works fine, although it causes massive FPS drop in the game.SPARTA

5.0Windows 7 x64Intel i7-4790K @ 4.0GHzNVIDIA GeForce GTX 970The game runs perfect with hd texture packs, eating up 20GB of RAM when prefetching is enabled. It dose not always complete prefetching couse it works only 1 out of 10 tries. When it works it is 60s to load it all into RAM, but many times the emulator crashes with memory errors while trying to load custom textures into RAM at the begining. Here is a perfect emulation with custom textures sucessfully prefetched. I have tried many setings but you can check my current one in the videos description.

Same results using 3x Native resolution, vsync, 2x MSAA Anti-Aliasing, 4x Anisotropic Filtering,Texture Cache:Fast, and Virtual External Frame Buffer. Applyed Hypatia's Hi-Res Texture Pack To also get same results with minor stuttering. Have to disable XFB unless taking pictographs to decrease frame stuttering when using texture pack.KingArthur10

5.0-84Linux 4.6.3-1-ArchIntel Core i5-4690k @ 3.5GHzNVIDIA GeForce GTX 960Game plays at a constant 30 FPS at native settings with no texture issues or glitches. Same results using 2.5 Native resolution, 4x MSAA Anti-Aliasing, 4x Anisotropic Filtering, FXAA Post-Processing Effect,Texture Cache:Safe, and Virtual External Frame Buffer. Applyed Hypatia's Hi-Res Texture Pack To also get same results with minor studdering when looking at large areas due to the textures loading, this can be fixed by prefeching custom textures (requires a lot of ram >16GB) and should also be fixed after the pack is converted to DDS format.Zalnor
5.0-2270Windows 10AMD Ryzen R7 1700AMD R9 280GPU has no problem pushing the game up to 4K with it being absolutely stable with no dips. CPU has no performance problem at all (can run the game over 200% speed constantly), but will suffer from very bad frame pacing (stutter) if XFB is left enabled, may it be set on Virtual or Real. The frame pacing do still get bad at times, but it is very occasionnal and still entirely playable. Overclocking the CPU or running at lower res doesn't help with the frame pacing problem, indicating that this is clearly not a performance issue. Tested on DX11 and OpenGL.kilo
