Winds of Change
I loved Wind Waker, but the sailing system wasn’t exactly engineered for hitting a small, fixed location.
The GaMERCaT
He's a cat. He plays video games.

First,so thats what happened to philippines.
The face in the last panel tho…
Yup! it was hit by a GaMERCaT conducting the Ballad of Gales
You’d figure he’d break out the oars by now
Since I’m not sure whether you mean in the game or in the comic, I’ll just assume I am the first one to tell him there was indeed a rowing system in the game and wallow in his anger as he remember all the missied opportunities.
That’s only in the wii u rerelease if I remember correctly
Nope! It’s in the GameCube version, too.
This “Dave” is an imposter. I’m the real Dave.
Cool
well i’m Dirty Dan
No i am dave
There can be two daves!
Forget sailing! just jump out and swim to it! The boat will follow you there! Am I the only one that thinks this is genius? If it doesn’t work, just use the Longshot or a Boomerang with a hook on it.
but if it’s sunken, won’t he drown because it’s too deep? and what if his boat floats away?
Happened to me so many times.
you ARE aware, that you can simply move slowly (i think its by pressing R in the original) without any wind?
@bastischo
It’s a joke. I’m sure anyone who has played WW already knows that.
You can also stop on a dime by bringing out your grappling hook. As you approach a shiny place, note where it is in the ocean. It’s much easier if there happens to be “foam” (the white lines) so you can keep your eye on a specific thing. Track where the shiny is, and stop right next to it. If you’re off slightly, use R in a circle and try again.
I actually don’t remember that. I just remember changing the wind a billion times just to hit a spot. I guess I should’ve replayed the game before making jokes. It’s been years since I played.
Lawl
that’s not a thing, that’s just how stupid people pronounce LOL(it’s ACTUALLY pronounced ehl-oh-ehl, y’know, like LETTERS?)
And then the sunken treasure turns out to be 1 rupee
Or a useless old pot… :I I swear to god I found a pot off the coast of Dragonroost or something in my first playthrough. My memory is hazy on the location, but I swear that I dredged up a pot… :I
Story of my life. Right there.

wow link. you need to slow down and think before you squash the lives of those NPC’s under you lol
So similar to http://www.awkwardzombie.com/index.php?page=0&comic=070113 …
It’s not that similar \:3 It’s not even the same game. And I’m sure there are plenty of other jokes regarding force changing weather in games.
Yeah, for example :

http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/2011/09/15/364-suns-song-part-3/
But I still laugh at all the variations of this joke. ^^
And also : http://www.dorkly.com/comic/40421/omocat-night-day
How about this one? Same game, same joke: May 5th, 2008.
http://www.awkwardzombie.com/index.php?page=0&comic=050508
Oops? Sorry I had the same thought? I didn’t mean to beat a dead horse with the joke.
Uh, that’s not what I got, I got a bottle that stood up on it’s own
it’s a terrible joke that intentionally omits information, thus ruining the damn joke for anyone who has ACTUALLY played the game. THAT’S NOT HOW YOU DO GAME HUMOR
Nothing was intentionally omitted. Blame it on a faulty memory. Criticism acknowledged.
Stop being rude, it’s not like she has infinite panels, and she has to only include relevant info or the joke won’t work
What actually happened to Great Fish Isle.
http://awkwardzombie.com/index.php?page=0&comic=050508
Well dang!!
But what can you do!
I think they changed it or something, cuz I don’t see anything about Zelda, just a deer scare thing
GamerCat Learned the Ballad of Gales!
I find it funny how people are negative about every little thing
Well the first joke, that it’s hard to pinpoint treasure spots using the sail, is a stupid non-joke because that’s what pressing R to cruise is for.
The second joke, that the Wind Waker causes massive destruction offscreen via deadly weather, is taken almost explicitly from an Awkward Zombie comic back in 2008: Butterfly Effect (http://awkwardzombie.com/index.php?page=0&comic=050508)
One is a joke that’s unfunny to anyone who actually played the game, and the other is out-and-out Joke theft. So yeah, people might have a little negative reaction there.
I REALLY want a charm of Glitch holding a Gameboy! ( See comic: what the cat dragged in) Or a cartoon Annoyingfairy… I personally would by those for the prices you have. Great work, and AWSOME comic. ( My friends won’t stop asking where I got my other cute GaMERCaT charm so I think this would be good business)
Lawl.
BTW you should really get plushes of GaMERCaT and Glitch!
Well now we know what happened in The Wizard of Oz.
I know the feeling…

IDK what u r saying, l only speak english. oh well, I can just use translate
translate won’t translate and therefore I have NO IDEA what u said
This kitties, is WHY YOU READ THE INSTRUCTIONS!
This is REDICULOUS!!! The Wii u has been out for a while and I don’t even have wind waker for the GameCube!!! (Gotta love the classics)
Ridiculous, red is a color
I cannot help giggling at the sixth frame again. that lady is crazy funny looking. :3
huh i don’t have that issues just don’t go full speed you go fast with the wind but still move when facing the opposite direction just a lot slower and yes with the game cube version not the new one
What made this so difficult was that the damn thing would disappear as you got close to it. You’d hear glorious noise that got stronger as you got closer, but you could never tell how loud it was going to get, so as you expected it to get louder, you’d sail right past it and it’d start to get quieter.
And then of course you’d cast your grappling hook right when it’s at its loudest and _still_ not get anything.
Gamercat, you fool! Great power must never be used in anger! No matter how frustrating something may be!
that woman at the last panel!
Sorry guys about the tornado, i faced charges and Outset island was rebuilt
PIGS CAN FLY LOOK AT THE LAT PANEL IN THE TORNADO
last*
uh, he’s not flying, just getting thrown around. And he’s probably gonna be bacon when the tornado stops, cuz that’s pretty far up
How can you even tell if it’s even treasure?
U can’t
