All clear on the rails ahead, sir—wait, are those horses? What kind of crazy train is that, and why’s it parked at a crossing?

Who gives engineer’s certificates to these blasted kids nowadays?!

Maybe the other engineers could bribe a Dark Train to deal with the roadhog.

Wow, lovin' this pic.

I do love how you drew everything, as well as that junction crossing signal, even though it has lantern lights.
LOL

Thanks, glad you like this!

I used a photo of a real railway crossing sign as a reference for the lights. Some details are too tiny for me to make out from screenshots or YouTube gameplay footage.

Aww...^^ They're so ridiculously cute, and the train is spiffy as well with all the textures (and the horses! Is that an in-game option?)

Thanks, I'm glad you like the textures! Yeah, the horse carriage is one of the ingame options for customizing the train.

Nice Work! (That's where that last rabbit is...)

I found it hard to find train parts. It'd be nice if you could dig them up like in PH... (I keep running out of Demon Fossils. I know they should appear as often as the other ones but they don't)

aquanut In reply to icytemporalist [2010-05-21 13:09:36 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Haha, yeah... I haven't gotten around to catching all the rabbits yet because I haven't gotten the hang of that rabbit net minigame.

Yeah, it was surprisingly hard to get train parts, but it was also an interesting challenge. I have a hard time getting Demon Fossils too; supposedly the rarity of specific items was different for each game.

I found it's easiest to go to whittleton and blow all the leaves, sometimes you get those treasures. Also you can sometimes buy them from the whittleton shop...

Kinda off topic but! I heard that the boars are actually the Bullbos from Twilight Princess... I'm not so sure I believe it myself but! Anyways... getting back on topic...


This is soooo cute! I always wish I could draw better than what I do right now and this is way better than wht I could ever hope to draw

aquanut In reply to Thefallenangel407 [2010-05-21 13:07:14 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, they're officially called Bullbos. I personally don't think they're related to the Twilight Princess ones, since it was said in an interview that TP and WW/PH/ST take place on different timelines. There were a lot of references to TP enemies in ST, though.

Thanks, I'm glad you like this!

Haha yeah, I'm trying to collect those too, but I did play around with a few of the other engines (the horse one and the spectre thing and so on) and every engine seems to have it's own unique whistle noise.

Having only just bought the game today, (yes, I know I'm way behind the times) I can't say I like the boar too much. The first time I encountered them, they caused my first train death.

aquanut In reply to Trollkid [2010-05-14 16:26:21 +0000 UTC]

There'll be other enemies that are much more annoying, believe me. Do you have the cannon yet? The boars are easy to deal with once you have that.

I can't say I like the entire train mechanic too much, but the whole game is so good (particularly the latter half) that overall the travel didn't bother me enough to lessen my appreciation for the game.

Trollkid In reply to aquanut [2010-05-14 16:38:11 +0000 UTC]

I'm halfway thru the Ice dungeon. I agree about the train mechanics. I like it, but it's a bit slow when compared to the boats from the previous titles. Not to mention that the train's a lot more fragile and harder to control. But I certainly would hope to see more of the trains in the future. There's potential.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

aquanut In reply to Trollkid [2010-05-14 17:51:15 +0000 UTC]

I think the train does have several things going for it, and the controls were good--they did require more attention than the boat, and the enemies were tougher than the ones I remember from the Great Sea, but at least it kept you occupied. (Though I did miss the freedom of being able to direct the boat anywhere.) My main problem was that it was tedious to use the train as the sole form of travel because controlling it became repetitive and monotonous once you got the hang of it. I wouldn't want to see it return as the only way to get around, but I could imagine future Zeldas with some fun sidequest missions involving trains, especially if there were plenty of varied mission objectives.

aquanut In reply to HylianBard [2010-05-14 16:31:27 +0000 UTC]

Thanks, glad you like it! And yes, you'd think people would have more of a problem with trains that look like huge dragons or evil skulls, considering that Twilight Princess's guards would get freaked out at the mere sight of a wolf. Perhaps the Great Flood left Wind Waker's Hylians somewhat hardier than their opposite-timeline counterparts.

HylianBard In reply to aquanut [2010-05-14 20:21:42 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, but the Twilight Princess guards were spineless little wimps. Look at how "brave" they were when Zant invaded. Pfft. Fools.

Ah, so you're involved in the timeline debate? Cool!

Not only do they give kids certificates, but it's the Princess that hands them out after picking the candidates...did she pick him just because he's named Link?
