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, breaking that rely on accurate mipmap levels. Support for detecting these cases was added in 5.0-5745.

Incorrect Mipmap levels cause the ocean's effects to draw far off into the distance.

When drawn correct, the sea's effects fade to a deep blue further away from Link.

Configuration

This title does not need non-default settings to run properly.
