broke; the triforce quest in wind waker sucks its the worst part of the game

woke; up until the triforce quest you were given set objectives and for about half the game you were limited to a specific path and couldnt explore, and by the time you finish the earth and wind temples you will have every tool you need to explore the great sea properly and you wont get stuck on puzzles that you dont have items for. you’d also likely have a decent amount of rupees already saved up from clearing dungeons and will likely find more while figuring out the triforce quest. the triforce quest is intended to get you to explore the great sea with all the tools you need
