Talk:Earth Temple (The Wind Waker)

Why not?
This can be Done Before or After the Wind Temple. So why is it listed specifically as the 5th dungeon? Can't we edit it to list it as the 5th or 6th dungeon? Has this been spoken of before? Why do people always assume its the Earth temple then the wind Temple? I'm sure thats the way it is in the strategy guide. This might be the first game that allows you to choose your fifth and sixth dungeon. And more importantly i am making this post because I am curious as to whether someone has edited it so that it says that and whether it has been changed back or not. this is here for discussion purposes on the matter.


 * This is a rather odd case because I've seen people swear up and down that this dungeon must be done before the Wind Temple and others swear just as hard that they can be done in either order. I'm not certain of this, but there's some evidence that it's a version difference; some versions of The Wind Waker have event flags that allow the dungeons to be completed in either order, while in others the event flags are set up so that the Earth Temple must be completed first. Let's see if anyone else can weigh in on this.


 * At any rate, The Wind Waker would certainly not be the first game in this series where you can choose the order in which the dungeons are completed. There are multiple possible orders in which the dungeons can be done in The Legend of Zelda, A Link to the Past, and Ocarina of Time, for instance. --Osteoderm Jacket 07:43, 29 August 2012 (EDT)


 * I've got the American gold disc (I preordered the game, for the record), and that version forces the Earth Temple to be completed before the Wind Temple (Makar won't appear until after Earth's completed); sure, Fire Mountain and Ice Ring Isle (where you get the items that open the way to the songs) can be completed in either order, and the songs needed to awaken the sages can be learned in either order, but from what I've seen, if there's a version that allows Wind to be completed before Earth, they're all Japanese. And we all know there are plenty of differences between Japanese and international (the method to obtain Triforce Chart 5 is such an example, it's much more complex in Japanese than in international)...--Shiningpikablu252 12:28, 29 August 2012 (EDT)
