You're not meant to be able to buy those bombs.

Update:

I got the game yesterday.. Was too busy enjoying myself to come and post about it (first time I've gone a day without touching the PC in awhile, since Halo came out

)

The game is awesome and I wont deny the fact that the game is gorgeous, But I still say the game would have been far cooler if done with the original graphics concept (that Link vs. Ganon duel at E3). No complaints though, I'm completely satisfied.

Wind Waker > Ocarina of Time (So far

)

That was Spaceworld, if I remember correctly, you nub.

I'm glad they didn't use that concept... I am really glad I wouldn't have missed out on this one.

That and you can get a bigger rupee wallet later on.
The only thing I will say is that involves a leaf, a bomb, and one of the very first areas of the game.

This game saved my ass. I've been alternating between Smash Bros. Melee and Metroid Prime for fun, but I'm already stuck on Metroid Prime and there is no hope for me. I just got my GCube and these games last friday!

I just got to the island with the Dragon and just got the Wind Waker. Yeah I know I'm slow, but I'm being slow on purpose. I want the game to last awhile, I don't want to beat the game all at once and be bored again.

I don't know if it is better than OoT though. Sure the WW graphics are cool, but the OoT graphics were brilliant. I knew how great the game was gonna be by just stepping out of Link's house for the first time. The whole game was serious, and had really great and pretty music, and the level designs were cool. The WW just doesn't feel at all like that game, but it is still great for what it is rather than what it isn't. I like the WW battle system better though. The visual and sound effects that occur when you strike an enemy are really cool.

??? Which shop? I went in every building I saw in that town and never saw a shop with a pirate game.

Go up like a hill and go through the arch where inside they have a gang of kids, go right and there's a pirate game. It's like the game "Battleship" but with squids.

I'm already on that dragon island, so maybe if I get the chance to go by Windmill Island again then I'll check it out.

Two questions
Does it have shootguns?
And second does it have zombies?

Kinda off topic of what everyones talking about, but my local gamestores gonna start selling the preorder disk for 10 dollars, and since I never got to play the game on N64, I cant wait to shell out 10 bucks for a gamecube game. But I gotta finish Wind Waker first.

I laughed my ass off when I first saw that. Especially when you win.

Did you play the other cannon game? It's on an island about 2-3 squares to the East of Windfall Island.

Right now, I'm doing some exploring, treasure hunting, and side quests. And placing the three jewels in the proper location along the way. I need more bottles. I only have one so far

Crap. I'm buying the game today after work, and I cant wait to get home.

Maybe I can snag a copy of the Master Quest disk while I'm out...

Yeah, it's pretty funny... Nope, I didn't play the other cannon game, didn't even go to that island... but once I'm done in the Forbidden Woods, I'll probably go exploring.

Yeah, the way it's set up with the sea leads to much exploring.. I'm loving it. And the sea theme probably wouldn't look right at all or would have been as fun if they used the realistic view..

Yeah, I just got there last night. Aparantly that guy is all over the world with his minigames. I must thank Nintendo, that guy is a brillant kind of funny. I also got my first big wallet last night. Holy crap, that thing is huge! 1000 rupees, and Tingle still says it's still not big enough!

Anyway, I at the part where you just board the pirate ship after they land at Windfall.

Er, Gold Tingle Statue? What's that? I just bought a cable last night to do the GBA-GC hookup, but it's too hard to play with both the game and that thing at the same time. I'll have to have my girlfriend come over to use the GBA for me.

I got another bottle on a pirate ship on my way to the forrest islane (south of dragon island)

I did a little exploreing, kinda pisses me off. I found 3 treasure chests. 2 of them had a 200 rubys, and the other had 50. Course I allready had my rubies maxed out so bleh!!!!

I never could find all those stupid little kids on that island. I bet I spent 45 min looking that island over. I just said heck with them and left. My friend managed to do it, he got a peice of a heart.
