If you could sail anywhere in the world, where would you sail to and from?

I really wish Nintendo would port this to Switch. Being able to play this anywhere would be absolute bliss.

Kinda weird growing up when I did because I didn’t really know Nintendo much as a kid and when I found out about Wind Waker I just thought it looked cool. It’s sorta really hard to believe people cared about just the graphics that much, but I guess it would be weird if the next Animal Crossing looked like Fallout or something drastic like that.

WindWaker is my ALL TIME favorite game. I grew up playing it and it was the only game i had for the first half of my childhood, so the nostalgia is there to the max! Nintendo please port it to the switch.

You could say... *He went overboard on the puns...*

As the legendary PBG said: *"ADVENTURE!!! YEAH!!!!!!!"*

Honestly Wind Waker is absolutely delightful. If there is any Zelda game I would revisit over and over again it would be Wind Waker. The items, explorations, side quests, beautiful cell shaded art style, gorgeous music, fluid combat, clever puzzles and funny characters are infectious. The HD additions make this personally not just my favorite of the Zelda remasters but of any game updated. The streamlining saves time, makes everything smoother and obviously the graphics/performance updates make the presentation pop with so much life. Going from the skeptical reception of its direction when it was announced, I can honestly say Wind Waker is an essential play for any Zelda fan and I think it's world was for many years the most fleshed out Zelda has seen, even if all rewards aren't super necessary or the game doesn't have quite as many dungeons despite the many extra challenges found throughout the world. It's great to see Jirard has finally got around to it and remind me of my love for this charming adventure.

Jirard getting PAID. Glad you got a Blue Apron sponsor. Props to the Beardman.

"Work on a tan, my dude." Ganondorf: "Bro, I grew up in a desert. I'd have to set myself on fire to get any darker." Valoo: "Did someone say fireeeeee?"

Wind Waker is one of my all-time favorites. With how much Jirard loves pirates AND Zelda, I'm amazed it took him this long to play it.

"Link spends boatloads of this game sailing around on his little ship...." I see what you did there....

As I continue to watch Jirard, I become more and more impressed with how good his writing can be, and how well he's able to articulate his opinion, but also describe the objectivity of a game in such a detailed way.

Did he just call Ganondorf "everyone's favorite red-headed daddy?" I mean he's not wrong

Welcome to Episode 29, I think, I’m too lazy to go back and check, of me asking Jirard to complete Yakuza 0. Please complete Yakuza 0.

I was a big fan of Zelda games when I was younger, (Link's Awakening was the first game I remember beating) but when Windwaker initially came out I was one of the people that hated the art direction. Years later, when it got an HD remake on the Wii U it instantly became my favorite LOZ game, and I hate the negative view I gave it before. Love this game! Glad you had a good time Jirard!

oh no he mentioned the cartoon, well if no one else is going to do this then I have to right? EXCUUUUSE ME PRINCESS

This game's beautiful art style is what got me into Zelda in the first place. I would love to see this re-released on the switch as I never bought a Wii U.

Saw the thumbnail: instant click. So hyped for this.

Man I love Wind Waker!

"I know the simpsons did it first..." Look bud, the simpsons did everything first

You don't understand how long I have waited for Jirad to complete this game! Your gonna love this one.😀

Ive been waiting for this since you skipped it over when you did your twilight princess video.

They moved the Hero's Charm to the bottom of the Savage Labyrinth in the HD remake? Huh, arguably a better place to put it than where it was originally. Makes beating the trials feel more rewarding than the heart piece that was down there originally.

If they ported this onto the Switch, my life would be complete! I never owned a Wii or Wii-U, sadly.

As Soon as I beat wind waker this video came out! It's fate!

Never... Played... WW? THE FCK JIRARD?

I'll be a part of your pirate crew.

Mate, thank you so much for making this. Someone recommended your channel to me and I just thought I'd have a quick scroll through your videos when I saw this. Wind Waker is one of my favourite games of all time, and I found it super hard to pause or quit watching until the end of your video. I loved everything you said, I found you really funny and engaging, and your critique was thorough and fair. You've gotten me hooked, and I'm definitely going to watch more of your stuff!

I have been waiting my whole life for this moment

I am a normal person,I saw a kid with a beard on the thumbnail I click

You named him Sparrow. I think you... Jack'd that name. :3

This was the best Wind Waker review I've ever seen. Coming from someone who 100% the GC version and also the HD version multiple times each, you covered everything I could think of and wanted to see. You mentioned every point that I could think of. Bravo. Amazing. A real tribute to one of my favorite childhood games. I've recently just started replaying the HD one again. Just finished Makar's & Medli's dungeons, and got everything extra with the Hookshot & Mirror shield.

My fave game ever

I remember hearing about this Zelda game and wanted to play it and searched it up and saw it was a game cube game I honestly thought it was like really really modern show how damn this game is in graphic and story

Shout-out to the shop keeper's sound byte at 11:43. Never gets old for me. :)

Honestly I did tear up a bit when you rated this Complete It. It was the first game I finished and it seemed like such an impossible yet cathartic experience to sit through the end credits of the game after taking two years from the age of 8 to 10 to play through the entire story. This admiration for the game coupled with the fact that I don't know the last time you ranked a game so high on The Completionist scale really hit me for some reason. Really glad you finally decided to play this one, thanks for your amazing content! Keep up the good work!

Just about yodeled when I saw the notification 😭😭😭😭💕💕💕

Thank you for completing my first legend of zelda game

The game of my childhood. I love it so much

I love this game so much and it's one of my absolute favorites from my childhood! I still play it semi-regularly and I've had it since 2004! Probably been over a decade now though since I've played it all the way through from the beginning. There's so much worthy of awe in this game. From the beautiful graphics to the huge open overworld, to the story, to the charming characters. Tbh I'd really, really, really love it if somehow someday, we could get another full 3D adventure in the same exact style featuring Link, Tetra, and her pirates in a new adventure. Taking someplace I guess between Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks chronologically.

Man I never thought you would do a wind waker video. Thanks

Finally! I've been waiting for this!

Well over a decade over, I still find it amazing that the Windwaker's Link ends Ganon by shoving the Master Sword into his forehead and turning him to stone! Not a finisher you'd expect to see in a game that's as cute and colourful in aesthetics as this!

I remember when I got the Wii U Wind Waker edition for my 13th birthday. I used to watch KevinJGaming’s zelda playthroughs, but had never heard of this game. I had little excitement for playing it, but once I beat the game, I cried. It was one of my favorite games ever. When I found out he released a completionist review for this game, I was so excited. It had reminded me of one of the best times of my life playing that game, and my nostalgia was so refreshing. This game will always hold a special place in my heart.

"the return of a few favorite zelda tools" *shows the Hookshot* >Majoras mask remaster flashbacks

I loved this game. And still do. I remember playing on my GameCube how epic it was

Anyone who plays Wind Waker just to finish it can't possibly appreciate the charm of this game. The element of discovery, for even if you've already played the game, The Great Sea's layout is basic enough to not be instantly discernable, but simple enough to navigate once you've marked a location on the main map. It's not empty, and that isn't made apparent, which is why figuring out that a seemingly barren section can be explored further, is undoubtedly a reward in and of itself. Even if the main reward isn't satisfactory, the fact you've made a note of it on a chart, found a treasure, explored a miniature dungeon, is. It's about taking a journey along a familiar field, but following various paths leading to the unknown. The objectives aren't usually that difficult either, and they certainly demand very little barrier to entry. Everything is managable, while rarely posing tasks with truly grueling intensity, a problem that is apparent with many other 3D Zelda games. While I came pretty close with Twilight Princess, to this day, Wind Waker HD is the one and only Zelda game I actually finished to 100% completion. I truly love it to death, and I cannot praise it enough.

The sailing theme actually brings tears to my eyes. This game is among my all time favorite Zeldas

You're the best Jirard, thank you for all this amazing content you put out. Keep it up!

I’ll join your pirate crew captain beardman!

Jirard, matey! You pull off pirate hats almost scarily well. Super happy to see you had such a great time with Windwaker! ...I'm also now gonna have to greet you at the upcoming Retro Gaming Expo with "SCHMEEEY!"

Well that was a change I wasn't expecting. The Gamecube version of Wind Waker gave you the Hero's Charm by giving the Teacher on Windfall Island a certain number of Joy Necklaces. The bottom of the Savage Labyrinth had a Piece of Heart. I don't think I'll ever play this version unless they launch it on the Switch, as I have no intention on buying a Wii U.

Wind Waker was my very first Zelda game, and as such will always hold a special place in my heart. To this day, it's still a delight to play. :)

Really glad you got to play my first and favorite Zelda ever!!

9:36 So...on your 16th birthday your sister got kidnapped by a giant bird and you had to save her by getting a magic sword and then defeat some evil ginger guy as well? Legendary

One of my favorite recording tactic to add comedy is the off-mic yell (aka - The Peanut Gallery). I absolutely LOVE Brett and Jirard's recent banter at points in the video.

Zelda video = new Sub. Great channel! Been on a binge since I discovered you earlier today.

Wind waker is sooooo nostalgic

That my chemical romance bit took me back to late 8th grade, early to mid 9th and the summer between 8th and 9th.. I was a moody 8th grader, and thankfully snapped out of it before 9th grade started, as i discovered pot and i doubled down on my favorite game series (metal gear solid, zelda, legacy of goku, Tomba 1 and 2), so by the time i graduated in 2010, my moody ways were gone, though i still enjoyed my chemical romance and marilyn manson along with indie hits. Thank you. This video gave me a trip down memory lane with that 3 second bit of song along with game, which was the only other game i owned for GameCube other than metal gear solid twin snakes for ages!

I literally just yelled “YESSSSS” when he referenced muppet treasure island

Been wanting to try blue apron for a while, thanks for the push :)

There is literally a choir of angels singing "HAHHHHHH" when I look at the artwork for the cover of the game _alone_ . 🌟

Saw you uploaded this and got sooo hype

I loved using the Bow in first person. Felt like an FPS.

Yo, I’m definitely liking the presentation you did with Blue Apron ad. It was simple, and your cooking looks really presentable 😮. If I wasn’t a broke college student, I would have given it a shot. I’m definitely thinking about getting into it when I have the funds in the future tho!

I watched that tech demo back then and i really loved how Link drops his Hylian shield to attack Ganondorf with both hands wielding the Master sword.

I hope no one has a problem with the sponsorship at the beginning of the video. I love this guys videos and he deserves to be able to make a real living off of these videos. I hope more people sponsor him so Jirard can continue making great videos.

"Dragon Roost Island" is my favorite piece of video game music period.

This is easily my most favorite Zelda game ever. And I have played each release in the series. HD is definitely the better version, but the GameCube version already had everything that made the game great. The Tingle Tuner was fun with the GBA as second screen and was replaced in this version with the Tingle Bottle. The Bottle needs Miiverse though, so that will never work again. I was surprised Jirard did not play this before?

Man, I wish Twilight Princess came out first so Wind Waker got the recognition it deserved at release.

I absolutely love this game, original and remake, both completed 100% multiple times. I was almost afraid it might not be your cup of tea, but as usual I find our tastes are similar, lol. Me and my friends have talked about doing this game for our Lets Play channel, and now I'm even more excited to do it. Also, I'll see you at PRGE this year, waiting another two hours in line just to say hi and have you sign something stupid for me. You, and all the guys working with you, are amazing. ❤

got here within the first few minutes of the upload woooooo

I was one of the first few who loved Wind Waker before it was cool!

Man, I never get tired of your videos

i think badass pirate tetra might be my favorite iteration of princess zelda in the entire series! she's just so awesome ^^ great video mr. completionist!

One if my favorite games

He named him Sparrow😂😂😭😭

great episode, been waiting for this one for a looong time. Still, worth it

When I put in Wind Waker HD I thought "Well this is how I remember the game, I don't see much of a difference" Plugged in my Wii, started OG Wind Waker and was blown away by the difference.

8:52 Hey, look, it's that microgame from WarioWare Gold! XD

Ive never played link to past until i bought the snes classic and man was i missing out

WW is in my top3 of Zelda games. It's the first Zelda game I fully completed on my own and it holds a pretty special place in my heart. This game is beautiful and I love to come back to it. I complete every Zelda game I own about every 3 to 4 years and I'm always looking foward to WW. The characters are delightful, the plot starter is heartwrenching and the music is still embedded in my memory after all these years. It's a great game.

Things to add on the completion list: -every single treasure chest on the overworld map opened (not only the chests from the treasure maps but also from the sparkling points on the water) -Rupee counter maxed out at 9.999 (very easy to do)

It was my first Zelda game!🤗

10/10 would join your crew

This is probably my favorite game....im so glad you made this video!

2:54 i was laughing at your face😂😂😂 WE SAIL FOR SMOOTHER SEES

Please complete DKC: Tropical Freeze

SPLOOSH!

Dude nice you got a good sponsor for this episode, Blue Apron is my jam.

I first got this game in summer 2014 with the Wii u bundle. Had an absolute blast playing it with a fresh coat of paint after having played the GC version a decade prior. The game has an amazing soundtrack, great art style, solid dungeons and bosses and the story and characters are well written. This is my favorite Zelda.

*IT'S ABOUT FKIN TIME*

Loving the ad, i wish i could afford Blue Apron.

My favorite Zelda game, it was a breath of fresh air when it came out and has an open world that stands up to this day. It holds a special place for me as I played it together with my brother and sister and enjoyed every minute. It also has one of the most unique takes on an iconic art style I've ever seen, imagine a remake of Majora's Mask in this style...

M favorite sound effect in this game is where link goes "hyip" when he jumps, so cute!

Please complete Terranigma! It's a hidden SNES gem... Top 3 game on the system forsure. It got a little love earlier this year from DYKGAMING and others, I think you should give it more exposure though:)

Good job! Every healthy choice matters!

Love the Dudamel reference. I analyzed his conducting for my conducting class at school, and it was really fun to watch😂

Wind Waker is the only video game I've ever played in my entire life where I had a hard time finishing it because I didn't want the experience to ever end. If I could live in any video game world, it'd be the Wind Waker. It will always be one of my favorite games of all time.

Yar, har, I’ll join ye crew Jirard!
