The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker: Episode 29 - "Real Men of the Sea"
Channel: Drew Naylor
Date: 26/11/2022

We finally visit Link's Oasis, grab a few Triforce Charts, and fill in some squares on the map! Doesn't sound very exciting, but I somehow stretched it to over a half an hour.

Video I mentioned showing the Skull Hammer clip trick which was uploaded by RequiemOfSpirit: https://youtu.be/Yp9aUAeysWg

Not sure if I should keep doing timestamps, they're a lot of effort and I don't want to do much once it's uploaded. Plus they're really annoying on mobile because sometimes instead of skipping a few seconds with a one-finger tap, the app registers a two-finger tap and skips a lot more. Please let me know if I should keep doing them.

This episode was recorded with Limited color range in the rec709 color space and 1080p upscaled via a RetroTINK 5X Pro using the HD Retrovision component cables. During rendering, CRF18 was used to try to get as close to 8Mbps as possible for 1080p as that's what YouTube recommends and my computer isn't powerful enough to render at 8Mbps in average bitrate with two passes. Would just do 720p if it didn't get compressed horribly after upload. Please let me know if there are issues.

I got the idea to do the fake intro from Chuggaaconroy when I watched his Majora's Mask LP a year or two before he did the Skyward Sword one, and I was going to do a fake Breath of the Wild intro for Wind Waker but I didn't have the Toon Link amiibo and never got around to do it before he did his own fake intro using BotW. My idea though was to use the Toon Link amiibo to get the Wind Waker tunic and have Link wear it while sailing around a large body of water and going onto islands pretending I was playing Wind Waker, until I realized that it's the wrong game. I have been waiting to do this for over 5 years now, and only just managed to be able to do it because there's a boat section in Xenoblade 3. Now I realize it's a little different from my original idea, but I hope it still worked. I also hope that it both doesn't go on too long and that there's enough there. I will say that I may not have been paying attention when trying to Break the enemy, as I was paying more attention to trying to keep recording time down and not have it go on too long, but it's also possible that the enemy turned at a bad time. I also didn't have an optimized build, both because this was an old save file (from around 39 hours in, so August 2nd) that didn't have very good Gems like my main file and also because I switched to the default setup (for the most part) just before recording just so nothing was spoiled too much, hence why I didn't really wait for Noah's auto-attack to go through as much since I was used to it being way faster for everyone. Maybe I could've done a few more Arts before the fake realization. While editing the fake intro, I realized I was having a lot of fun and wondered if I would want to do a Xenoblade LP sometime (likely for 3), but then I remembered that it would take a lot of episodes to go over all the important stuff. I'm already at at least 130 hours on my main save file in 3, and I'm not even close to done with everything.
