Worthy of the Triforce of Courage?


I'm beginning to wonder about the character of Link in The Wind Waker.

He seems like an upstanding fellow, but at the same time, he never goes in first.

At the entrance of both of the dungeons requiring him to bring along an awakened sage, the pair finds themselves at a well. The first one down this well is never Link, but instead the sage, either Medli or Makar. I want to say that he does the same with Tetra when the two enter the chamber of the Master Sword in sunken Hyrule, but I don't remember if such is the case.

The feel of the wind temple is very, well, festive. The fiddle music is what gives it this atmosphere, though from memory this is the more difficult dungeon.

The puzzles aren't as difficult as those in the Earth Temple, but because Makar's ability is to grow trees from patches of bare earth he sometimes has to venture on ahead, or is left exposed to enemies. Such exposure means there're more chances of resets in here.

What's more, in the Earth Temple, you could get Medli into a shaft of light, which shielded her from most foes. And, of course, you could always drop her by the door, clear the room, and then sally forth together.

Playing it safe with the same strategy that got me through the Earth Temple without difficulty may be as effective here in the Wind Temple, though. Yet, Floormasters could still prove troublesome.
