WW-Online

Online multiplayer for The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. Everyone plays their own copy of the game in Dolphin, and WW-Online brings the other players into your world as fully animated Links and keeps your adventure in sync.

The Room page: the room owner editing the room rules

You need your own copy of the game. WW-Online contains no Nintendo code, files or assets. It patches the game on your PC from a disc image you dumped yourself: the US version of The Wind Waker (game ID GZLE01). Please don't ask for, or share, game files.

Start here

  1. Installing: download WW-Online, get Dolphin and patch your game. The app walks you through it.
  2. Playing together: host a room or join one, and reach your friends over the internet.
  3. Room rules: what the room shares (wallet, world, items, story, bags, projectiles, warping) and how.

Guides

  • Game patches: the optional extras (skip the intro, instant text, Swift Sail, crash fixes...) and which ones everyone in a room should match.
  • Softlocks and warping: stuck after another player moved the story on? Warp to them.
  • Self-hosting: optional. A dedicated server (Docker, a VPS, a Raspberry Pi) keeps a room up without the host. You don't need one when your friends can reach your PC.
  • Troubleshooting: black screens, connection problems, missing players, and how to report a bug.
  • Known limitations: what doesn't work yet.

Status

WW-Online is in early development. Things work, and things break. Everyone in a room needs the same WW-Online version: the app updates itself, and tells you when your game needs patching again.

What's new in each version: Releases.
