What was your opinion of it? I thought it was fun for the first 20 minutes, but after that it began to seem like a chore to get from one place to another.
I agree at times it got old, especially when you had to go long distances. With that said, I think it is a good idea. I mean if we weren't sailing, we would be running from place to place. It just gives it a more realistic feel. The map was just small enough to make it reasonable.
I really enjoyed pretty much every minute of it :)
I loved sailing around and the feeling of freedom that it entailed. A great idea, that should probably not be repeated too soon again :P for it would lose its originality.
I have to agree sailing was an original idea, but it got old really fast. It took way to long to cross the map. I also found it was easiest to just point Link in the right direction and set down the controller. Since I used a Wavebird I was able to save battery power that way. Just put it down and turn it off. And I assume you didn't mean to title this "Winder Waker".
I didn't mind the sailing. What was really annoying was always having to play the Song of Winds to change wind direction. Giving us an option to skip the wind animation would've been nice, similar to how you can skip the mask animations in Majora's Mask.
I don't know I never played Winder Waker, anyways it was fun but the needed islands were too far apart I mean sailing from Windfall to Outset!! I put the controller down and came back a half an hour later I still wasnt there lol.

i agree, having to play the song everytime you needed to change the direction of the wind really sucked.
I really enjoyed sailing around the world, especially before the map is complete. I love the excitement of getting to a new island and figuring out what to do there. I also liked when the ocean got stormy and choppy (although the waves never really got all that big.) What was more annoying about the sailing was changing the wind, especially when you had to change the wind a few times (like if you somehow picked the wrong direction). But In the end I really liked the sailing, even though I still prefer the land based zelda style.

Sailing was fun but it still doesn't beat riding your horse on Hyrule Field.IkeXC07
The great thing about riding Epona through Hyrule is that the scenery is constantly changing. As you ride, the terrain changes and you'll see different landmarks. You'll see forests and desert and snowy mountains.
The problem with sailing is that you out in the big blue sea and you're always looking at the same thing: water. The islands can be pretty varied but they're nowhere near as fun to look at, especially when you're so far away that all you see is a black silhouette.

That is one of the reasons I am looking forward to the new zelda so much is because Nintendo is bringing back horseback and it look like you are going to be able to take it with you everywhere in the new. Also you are going to be able to use the sword. I probably would have enjoyed sailing more if I could have used my sword to slash down near by ships.

I don't think swords would be effective against other ships... but to use it against the seahats and gyorgs would be awesome.
Oh, and it kind of stinks you couldn't use a weapon while sailing (like the bow to snipe seahats before they can harass you).
i loved the sailing, and just when it started to get old i learned the cycolone sone thing, i forget its name. what really got old and annoying was the damn triforce peices, i would have much rather had an extra dungeon or 2, that was 1 on myamoto's worst moments, and even with that, the game was awesome

You could use your boomerang and the bomb became a cannon on the ship that was pretty cool

I know you can use weapons while on the ship (you have to use the cannon) but I meant it stinks how you can't sail while using a bow, for example. If you take out a weapon, you'll put the sail away and the boat will stop immediately.
Who here was relieved when they got the teleport song? (name skips my mind)AJ_THE_GREAT
You can get the song right after the Tower of Gods but I didn't realize on my first playthrough that such a song exists. I was under the notion that tornadoes were very, very bad so I never came close to one.
When I needed to go to Mother & Child Isle, to get the Fire and Ice Arrows, I had to check a guide because I had no clue you needed the song to reach the inside. It seemed a little subtle.

If you've made your sig by yourself, I admire you.

I agree, it was cool and very funny, but those triforce pieces drove me nuts. One or two more dungeons should have been great. I think they experimented with a new way to travel through the world, and it was great, but sometimes sailing was kind of idle time, nevertheless TWW was a great game.
