The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

Nintendo's thematic action-adventure sequel to Ocarina of Time takes the series back to its more cartoonish roots. Utilizing a completely new look with cel-shaded graphics, the game casts players in the role of a familiar young boy, who sets out to save his kidnapped sister. Gameplay is vintage Zelda, only that the game's overworld is covered by water. Players have to control the direction of the wind to sail across the ocean and find dungeons, towns, and plenty of secrets. A special Game Boy Advance link-up option lets another player join the quest and give hints and assistance via the handheld.

Sound issues

Distant areas issues

 * Distant areas might get blurry with EFB copy to RAM option enabled. To avoid this, enable EFB copy to texture and EFB scaled copy, but this will prevent the pictobox from working (infinite error when taking a photo).


 * But distant areas may get "pixelated" with EFB copy to texture. So I found 3 ways to get a clear image at distance in that case :

1.Disable CPU->EFB access, enable EFB copy to RAM. This is actually the best way I found, as it seems to break only the sun glare effect without affecting other things. 2.Disable EFB copy. This solves the distant areas problem but breaks some effects like characters shadows, screen blurring (when cutting small trees with sword and other things), and causes the pictobox problem. 3.Enable the Bleach versus crusade hack (in the ISO properties). This solves the problem too but causes other glitches.


 * Please note : I didn't clear the game yet, so if you find any issue that I didn't notice with these settings, please report.
