The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (2024)

Test EntriesRevisionOSCPUGPUResultTesterr3972Windows 7Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 3.2 GHzNVIDIA GeForce GTX 285The 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.

Sometimes, hangs after cutscenes, but upon restarting emulation, works perfectly. This is less than ideal in some situations- like right before the final battle (Grr...) Areas with few objects run at full speed usually. Dragon Roost flickering is present but doesn't affect emulation speed.Acr6800Windows XPIntel Pentium E2200 @ 2.2 GHzIntel G33/G31 Express FamilyMostly playable. Title screen, file select, intro cinema, many indoor areas, and the test rooms run at the full 30FPS speed at 480p. At higher resolutions, the game bogs down everywhere. Generally, this game runs at 19-24FPS at 480p in outdoor areas. Many settings do not affect the framerate at all.

Occasional slowdowns at huge dungeons and "heat/lava" effect (dropping from 30FPS to ~25FPS. Not a big deal though.). No problems with black screens or audio desyncs so far. No freezes and no crashes either.Rafaello Faredayr7503Windows 7AMD Phenom II X6 1100T @ 4 GHzATI Radeon HD 5870Everything seems to work perfectly.

The only little glitch: The smokes of every flame makes a little image distortion of the characters or objects near it; it's almost unnoticeable and it's not a really nuisance thing. Not a big deal that you pass almost unaware through.Paulo Milanr7555Mac OS X 10.6.7Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2 GHzNVIDIA GeForce 9400MPlayable 30FPS in most rooms, larger rooms usually reduce FPS by 7-10, while extra visual effects like the heat in dragon roost reduces FPS further, down to usually 14-20.

At 3.2 GHz OC, max frame rates even in OpenGL mode at 1920x1080 with 3x internal resolution. In retrospect, the GameCube's hardware couldn't do this game justice; when enhanced its graphics are stunning even by today's standards.Sesshyr7688Windows 7Intel Core i3-380M @ 2.53 GHzATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470Excellent, some issues with fog (a little slower than other places) and some sound issuesKidpaddle59r7688Windows 7Intel Core i5 @ 2.88 GHzATI Radeon HD 5850Perfectly playable with DX11 plugin, at 4x native resolution with x8 Anti-Alias samples and x16 Anisotropic filtering samples.

Almost perfect playable, but to reach a smooth play anti-aliasing can't be turned on. The fix item hang patch is needed to skip occasional black screens. To keep the audio working, the HLE DSP has to be used.Colorado Guilhermer7714Windows 7Intel Core i3-370M @ 2.4 GHzAMD Radeon HD 6370MFully playable: No slowdowns, no known glitches.r7719Windows VistaAMD Phenom II X4 840 @ 3.2 GHzATI Radeon HD 570030FPS, 95-100% speed.

Heat/Fire glitches have still not been rectified, occasional audio crackles/beeps. Using widescreen hack results in minor pop up issues on the sides of the screen extended by the hack.

No bugfixes applied.Senistra4.0Windows 7Intel Core i7-4770K @ 3.5 GHzAMD Radeon R9 270XRuns full speed most of the time at fullscreen 1080p with widescreen (not Dolphin's built-in widescreen hack), 4x Internal Resolution and 16x Anti-Aliasing. Framerate drops when using any level of Anisotropic Filtering. Some slight lag (about 25FPS) in places with many particles, such as the Forest Haven. However, with Dolphin 4.0, in Dragon Roost Cavern, the heat effects are glitched, so when I play this game, I generally use a newer version of Dolphin. Sadly, the newer versions of Dolphin drop support for Direct3D9, and the alternative is Direct3D(11) and OpenGL, both of which run slightly slower than Direct3D9.ImAFutureGuitarHero4.0.1Windows 7Intel Core i5-3570K @ 4.4 GHzNVIDIA GeForce GTX 460Near perfect emulation except ending has a bug that makes it so you can't 100% the game. AA does not work at all. Using OpenGL backend with widescreen hack and fire effect fix hack. Emulation accuracy is about 95% because of a few minor bugs that can't be fixed with hacks.Kilobytez954.0.2Windows 7Intel Celeron G1620 @ 2.7 GHzNVIDIA GeForce GT 240Very playable, seldom drops below 30FPS; minimum resolution; Direct3D11; idle skipping OFF; enabling DSP HLE both in Dolphin and Game Config with DSound backend prevents sound glitches but black/gray screen crashes may still occur.

Runs extremely well; 100% everywhere apart from some occasions when fighting large amounts of monsters at the same time, when it went down to 60% minimum (only for a split second or two), DX11, 8 x AA, 4 x Internal etc, some graphical glitches, fire doubling effect occurs on 4.0.2 so recommend downloading a newer revision to avoid this. Other graphic glitches include some odd lighting effects on armados monsters (concrete statue things with spikes on the bottom than spin around and explode when you kill them), Pictograph quest is slightly bugged as Lenzo will not recognize certain pictographs, take a look on Google for the solution for this; fully playable!Himalayan4.0.2Windows 8.1AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ @ 2.2 GHzNVIDIA GeForce 6150SENo playable 7-15FPSTicamus4.0.2Windows 7Intel Core i5-3470 @ 3.2 GHzAMD Radeon HD 7770Runs mostly at 30FPS on 4x Resolution with the OpenGL backend, no anti-aliasing. Anisotropic filtering gave a slight slowdown with no visual difference. Graphics had to be cranked down in some areas, presumably caused by the wide array of particle effects on screen or because of how many objects were on screen (ex: windfall island). Widescreen achieved with the above AR code. Fire effect partly fixed with the other above AR code. Fire doubling fixed with above texture.Hackapell20134.0.2Windows 7Intel Core i7-3517U @ 1.9 GHzIntel HD Graphics 4000D3D9 backend, Skip EFB Access from CPU checked, Scaled EFB Copy unchecked, Fog disabled, used the AR code to fix the heat effect problem. I've beaten the game and it runs full speed through the entire game, with minor slowdowns at rare instances. I even left Fast Depth Calculation on, and didn't encounter anything that bothered me. Turning VBeam Speed Hack on cuts the FPS in half (like EXACTLY half). I did encounter three issues though: taking pictures with the Pictograph crashes the game if EFB Copy is set to Texture. Setting it to RAM fixes this. Also, Lenzo would not accept the third picture in his sidequest no matter what. EFB Copy to RAM, Cache Unabled and Allowing Access from CPU to EFB fixed the problem. Also, EFB to Texture crashes the game just before the final battle with Ganondorf. Setting it to RAM during the cutscene before the fight fixes it (you can change it to Texture again during the battle).Artur4.0.2Windows 10AMD FX-6300 @ 3.5 GHzAMD R7 250No problems using default settings, smooth 30 FPS when using OGL renderer and 60 FPS when using DX9, no slowdown, graphical glitches or sound problems encountered so far.RunDevilRun0074.0-681Windows 7Intel Core i7-860 @ 2.8 GHzNVIDIA GeForce GTX 680Fully playable in all areas in 1080p (Max settings) at 30FPS with OpenGL plugin and Xaudio2 HLE DSP.

Not once did the game crash, and everything worked exactly as it should; this was using OGL all the way. Completed the game at 1.5 internal resolution, 8x AA and 16x FA. EFB was set to texture and fast, the default setting. The game slowed down only when a large quantity of enemies were around, though my processor is not particularly fast for Dolphin. I suspect this would not have happened at 1x resolution though. A year ago trying to play this was impossible to me with default settings; beyond doubt, the emulator has picked up speed and precision.UDEM-424.0-6697Windows 7AMD Phenom II X4 965 @ 3.4 GHzNVIDIA GeForce GTX 560Perfect at 30FPS with very slight FPS drops (1-2 FPS) for some sections at 4x IR, 8x AA, 16x AF, Per-Pixel Lighting, Scaled EFB Copy, and Forced Texture Filtering on the OpenGL Backend while using Hypatia WWHD texture pack. When using the Tingle Tuner, connection is established, and there seems to be no major issues, everything works fine, but there is a FPS drop no matter how low I turn the graphics settings to around 27 to 22 FPS when using VBA-M 2.0.0 Beta 1RoboHometro4.0-6803Windows 7AMD Athlon II X2 250 @ 3 GHzNVIDIA GeForce GT 440Played from the beginning to the end with no problems or glitches at all, with the exception of FPS drops in big areas or in the rooms with special effects (e.x. Heating effect in Dragon Roost Cavern rooms). My settings: used both OpenGL and Direct3D, 16:9 AR, 2x IR, DSP HLE, enabled Force texture filtering and Skip EFB access to CPU. VBA-M connection works fine, although it causes massive FPS drop in the game.SPARTA4.0-8961Windows 10Intel Core i5-6600K @ 3.5 GHzNVIDIA GeForce GTX 970Smooth 60 FPS in Direct3D, with 1080p, AAx4 and forced AFx16. Some random slowdown.5.0Windows 7 x64Intel Core i7-4790K @ 4.0 GHzNVIDIA GeForce GTX 970The game runs perfect with hd texture packs, eating up 20GB of RAM when prefetching is enabled. It dose not always complete prefetching couse it works only 1 out of 10 tries. When it works it is 60s to load it all into RAM, but many times the emulator crashes with memory errors while trying to load custom textures into RAM at the begining. Here is a perfect emulation with custom textures sucessfully prefetched. I have tried many setings but you can check my current one in the videos description.

Same results using 3x Native resolution, vsync, 2x MSAA Anti-Aliasing, 4x Anisotropic Filtering,Texture Cache:Fast, and Virtual External Frame Buffer. Applyed Hypatia's Hi-Res Texture Pack To also get same results with minor stuttering. Have to disable XFB unless taking pictographs to decrease frame stuttering when using texture pack.KingArthur105.0Windows 10Intel Core i3-4005U @ 1.7 GHzIntel HD 4400Played the game at native resolution on this cheap laptop. 30FPS most of the times. Slows down to 20-25 FPS sometimes. Fully playable till the end.PoorGuy5.0-84Linux 4.6.3-1-ArchIntel Core i5-4690K @ 3.5 GHzNVIDIA GeForce GTX 960Game 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.Zalnor5.0-2270Windows 10AMD Ryzen R7 1700AMD R9 280GPU 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.
