I totally screwed up in The Wind Waker. I missed a ton of items that I may never be able to get again, I'd probably need to spend five hours at once just scrounging through the different islands looking for treasure, etc.
So I deleted my save, bought a strategy guide on Amazon.com, and will try to play through the whole game (start to finish) with it. I usually hate using strategy guides, but I think if I really want to finish this game during the summer (or even the early Fall), it's necessary to have one.
I don't see why you'd delete your game though. Now it'll just take more time to find those items, and playing Zelda with a strategy guide=boo. Anyway, out of all Zelda games, The Wind Waker is the most tedious for finding all the heart pieces/bottles/all that, because finding treasure charts is pretty much the least fun thing ever after three times, so I wouldn't worry too much about it
That's my problem with The Wind Waker: It's too "collect-a-thonish." That's why I'm using a strategy guide (which I've never done for a Zelda game before, save for occasionally looking up some hints/tips online when I was stuck or felt I was missing something). Hopefully, Twilight Princess won't be as annoying in this respect.
For example, I don't have enough Knight's Crests for the Hurricane Spin (I skipped most of those "item balls" when fighting in Hyrule Castle) and basically have no way of ever getting any again until Ganon's castle. And, supposedly, I need the Hurricane Spin for a lot of the later bosses.
