Don't have much to start with, but there's an island in the South East Sea that's uncharted--you gotta find it by yourself. This island is distinctive from the others though as it's completely made out of stone...and it's shaped exactly like an open DS Lite.
This island in question is called "Dee Ess Island," and when you speak to Linebeck to leave, he'll say:
"What's with this island?! Sort of a...different shape, don't you think?!"

That makes me chuckle.
I need this game. One question...how big is the world in it compared to Wind Waker? I ask this because I wonder if there are any other uncharted islands have something special about them...

Haha, different shape. Nice work!
I wonder why there's been so few cameos in main Nintendo titles lately.

I think it may because two reasons
1. they are working on so any titles at once.
2. They don't want to ruin sales by "tiring" out Nintendo icons.

That makes me chuckle. I need this game. One question...how big is the world in it compared to Wind Waker? I ask this because I wonder if there are any other uncharted islands have something special about them... The sea in this game isn't nearly as big as Wind Waker, but that's alright. You get attacked while sailing pretty frequently and there's a lot of multi-tasking to do, and if I remember right a lot of people had issues with how much sailing you had to do in WW anyway. (Never bothered me that much once I got the Color Pictobox, but eh--that's me.) The actual amount of sailing has been heavily reduced, but its importance hasn't diminished at all, so the fact that there's less to be done in that regard doesn't really seem to matter. And when I say you get attacked frequently, I mean pretty frequently. Sea Octorocs are back and can no longer be ignored, since they stay with your ship and circle it; Gyorgs are now much more aggressive (ugh, hate these things...) and can't be attacked while submerged, there are spiked barriers you either need to jump over or shoot down, the Cannon Ships are more persistent and faster, and you can be attacked and boarded by pirates. So far it seems like there's an average of two hidden islands in each of the four different sections of the Great Sea, but I haven't really explored as thoroughly as I should (and a few are hinted at on pre-charted islands). There's probably more than that. The ship you have--which is not the King of Red Lions, and is unnamed--has a stamina bar (four green hearts by default) and you take damage from enemies or crashing into walls. Salvaging for treasure is also a puzzle now--actually finding the spot to do it is much easier since you can draw a course right to it using the same map it's marked on, but you have to successfully navigate your Salvage Arm crane through a maze of mines and rock walls. The Salvage Arm also has stamina (five yellow diamonds, not sure if this can be improved). Hitting a mine or rock makes you loose a hit point, and if you hit something five times the Salvage Arm breaks and you need to pay 100 Rupees to have a guy on the starting island fix it up. (You can have this guy also fix any damage to it before it breaks fully, and he'll cut you a better deal, so I recommend doing that if you're about to break it.) You also don't have to worry about running out of ammo, since your cannon has an infinite supply of bombs, but aiming is a bit difficult while you're moving. Still, if nothing else--buy the game for Linebeck. He's the best new Zelda character since Tingle. |

In the Ocean King's Temple, there is bones on the floor that tell you what happened. Paper Mario 64 cameo.

Unless it's actually a Dry Bones, that's not a cameo. It's just a similar event.
And that happened in The Thousand-Year Door, not the original.

And since they aren't Dry Boneses, it's officially not a cameo.

Is that sarcasm?
I really hope it is.

Actually, the motions Link does when digging reminds me a lot of Animal Crossing. Especially if he tries to dig in the spot where there's a pit in the ground. XD
Not a cameo, but still interesting.

Anybody notice that the Gossip Stones bear a slight resemblance to Wario? Try to get a closer look of them...big nose, crooked mustache, toothy grin...Not sure if this counts, but just something I noticed.
