This is the second item I have ever ordered from Lukie Games (the first being Luigi’s mansion). I have been extremely impressed in the condition that these games come in. I’m a bit of a collector nerd, so I got the complete game, case, and booklet, and all arrived in mint condition. I will probably continue to buy games off of here because of the care they take. It really feels like buying a new game, and I appreciate that a lot. As far as Windwaker goes, it’s one of my favorite games in the Zelda series.
If you haven’t played it and you like Zelda games DO IT! It got slighted upon release for the cute graphics, but I gotta admit that this game is packed with charm. The dungeon design may not be the best, but damn, I’ll never get tired of all the cute characters and little quirks of this game.
Thank you Lukie and Nintendo! I was pretty skeptical about ordering from lukie games at first with this being my first online video game purchase. I opted for the free 4-7 day shipping with my order sent in on a friday i received it 7 days later on that following friday. The case came in great condition only two small marks that were barely noticeable and a little bit of grime that came off with a damp paper towel. It came with every insert including the manual 4 pieces in all when it says complete it looks like they mean it! The disc looks as if its brand new maybe one or two small marks.
Im very happy with lukie games and I will order from them again in the future. The only complaint would be the packaging it was in just an envelope with no bubble wrap or protection i work at a major shipping company and witness first hand how people can handle packages so that worries me if i were to order again.
Besides that i give lukie two thumbs up!
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker is an action-adventure game developed and published by Nintendo for the GameCube home video game console. The tenth installment in The Legend of Zelda series, it was released in Japan in December 2002, in North America in March 2003, and in Europe in May 2003. Dolphin Emulator is a version of the Nintendo Gamecube and Wii emulator for Windows, this time adapted for Android and all that followed, such as touch screen controls.
Seeing how this is an early version of the emulator, Dolphin Emulator for Android has a list of games that have very limited compatibility than those available on Windows, Mac, and Linux. In other words, many of your favorite games from Gamecube and Wii can not be played easily.
In addition to the lack of full compatibility, Dolphin Emulator allows you to configure every aspect of the program. You can turn on the ‘dual core’ option for devices that support it, and even connect a controller on the device and configure it as well. Dolphin Emulator is a very powerful emulator, thanks to which you can play Gamecube and Wii video games on your Android.

Though controversial during development for its use of cel shading graphics and the cartoon Link character, The Wind Waker was met with positive reception. Contents. Problems Picto Box Freeze The game will totally freeze/crash when snapping a photo with the Picto Box. Disable Store EFB Copies to Textures Only to correct this, though game may still briefly freeze when snapping photos.
Enhancements Mipmap Effects Like many official Nintendo games on GameCube and Wii, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker uses mipmap levels to control some effects. As an enhancement, Dolphin uses higher mipmap levels further away as internal resolution increases to make textures look sharper.
This breaks effects that rely on accurate mipmap levels. While support for detecting these cases was added in it requires the CPU texture decoders. As such, mixing high resolution output with GPU Texture Decoding will cause the wrong mipmap levels even after the fixes were added. 16:9 Aspect Ratio Fix The built-in Widescreen Hack causes clipping issues.
The following AR/Gecko code works as a replacement, causing fewer issues. To avoid conflicts, make sure that Widescreen Hack is disabled while using these codes. HD Texture Packs.
Removing Distance Blur The distance blur is built into the game, but to some, it looks off on higher resolutions. The blur can be disabled using Action Replay codes shipped with Dolphin.

Please update as appropriate. Testing This title has been tested on the environments listed below: Test Entries Revision OS Version CPU GPU Result Tester r3972 Windows 7 Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 3.2GHz NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285 The game is running at 1920x1200 resolution with 16xAF and 8xCSAA. Fraps takes a tremendous chunk out of performance. While recording I was getting about 18-25FPS in game, while playing without recording I get normally 25-30 depending on how many creatures are on the screen. If you can I strongly recommend overclocking your CPU as much as safely possible to play games on Dolphin. I suggest never using Idle Skipping, Framelimit should be off, and use Optimize Quantizers for this game. Dual Core is a huge plus.
Always have 'Enable safe texture cache' checked. Your graphics card will determine how high a resolution and what levels of AF or AA you can run. 2.0 Windows 7 Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 @ 2.66GHz NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS Playable!

Slows down to 20-25 FPS sometimes. Fully playable till the end. Linux 4.6.3-1-Arch Intel Core i5-4690k @ 3.5GHz NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 Game plays at a constant 30 FPS at native settings with no texture issues or glitches. Same results using 2.5 Native resolution, 4x MSAA Anti-Aliasing, 4x Anisotropic Filtering, FXAA Post-Processing Effect,Texture Cache:Safe, and Virtual External Frame Buffer.
Applyed Hypatia's Hi-Res Texture Pack To also get same results with minor studdering when looking at large areas due to the textures loading, this can be fixed by prefeching custom textures (requires a lot of ram 16GB) and should also be fixed after the pack is converted to DDS format. Windows 10 AMD Ryzen R7 1700 AMD R9 280 GPU has no problem pushing the game up to 4K with it being absolutely stable with no dips. CPU has no performance problem at all (can run the game over 200% speed constantly), but will suffer from very bad frame pacing (stutter) if XFB is left enabled, may it be set on Virtual or Real. The frame pacing do still get bad at times, but it is very occasionnal and still entirely playable. Overclocking the CPU or running at lower res doesn't help with the frame pacing problem, indicating that this is clearly not a performance issue. Tested on DX11 and OpenGL. Gameplay Videos.

I think everyone knows what it's about! Link is after Ganon because he has plotted to use the power of the tri-force for his own evil doings. On top of that, his siter, and another girl were taken from him to a holding cell inside of a tower, which you later have to go to, to retrieve the girls. Afterward, Link is on a journey to find the pieces of the tri-force, and use it specifically to defeat Ganon, and nothing else.

The Wind Waker follows in the footsteps of Ocarina of Time and its sequel Majora's Mask, retaining the basic gameplay and control system from the two Nintendo 64 titles. A heavy emphasis is placed on using and controlling wind with a baton called the Wind Waker, which aids sailing and floating in air.3456 Controversial during development for its use of cel shading graphics and younger Link character, The Wind Waker received acclaim on release and is one of the Nintendo GameCube's most popular games.
Neilencio rates this game: 4/5 Legend of Zelda - The Wind Waker's cel-shaded graphics is one of the most divisive topics in gaming, with one camp claiming that the kiddie-oriented graphics are ruining the franchise while the other praises the fresh, vibrant artistic style that breathes new life to the aging (at that time) franchise. Outside of the 2 sides of the consensus about the graphics mentioned above, I won't bother talking about the visuals because that would be missing the point: regardless of whether you like the bold, fresh new artistic style or loathe the kiddie-oriented graphics, it still doesn't negate the fact that behind said visuals is one of the most expansive, immersive, and enjoyable action RPGs made by the big N.
Play it now if you're looking for something that will grab your gaming tastes by the cojones and keep it occupied for weeks on end.
