Tingle Rupee

Am I crazy or does the giant rupee worth 500 you get on Tingle Island appear as a rainbow rupee that flashes through all the colors? I can't find an image or video of it anywhere.

Almost done with game but missing one fairy to upgrade magic

Like title says. I'm ready to move to end of game. The only thing I haven't done that I want to before finishing was getting a bigger magic bar so I could do the flying contest. I was making notes along the way and I made one about 2 eye reef that just says fairy. Is the magic upgrade still out there or is it coming after I bring shards and upgraded master sword to zelda?

Best time for side quest/exploring?

I’m doing a play through and it’s been years as I just recently found a copy. Curious when everyone things to do exploring and side quest. I’m currently at the part where you find out tetra is Zelda and you have to set out to hunt for the 8 triforce shards. I have not gone to either island yet either. Just at the tower of gods right after the cut scene. I figure now is the best time to open up the entire map and just explore for awhile before moving forward with the storyline. Am I to late, did I miss something or is this most people’s favorite time too. I started to explore a little in the beginning but without all the items it made it kinda pointless then I got lost in the story and couldn’t really find a time to explore things. Now I at this point and I’m thinking I can start just doing random things but I am wondering if I should have started earlier. I’m definitely going to be playing through again as soon as I complete it so I figured I’ll take any advice anyone has. This used to be my favorite game but it’s been so long I don’t really know what the best way to approach free play with.

How to find the triforce shards on original gamecube version?

I've spent days using the decoded maps and stuff but it's only let me find 2/8 shards Am I supposed to collect them in a specific order? So far I have 3 triforce locations flashing on my map but when I go to the location I get nothing I've tried fishing, visiting multiple islands, readjusting the wind, boat, and killing enemies but still I never get any more

Do I need to unlock all maps? Because even when I go to the location that would have a map to a triforce shard I'm just going in circles and there's no chest or anything in sight beyond places I've already completed

Tutorials online always just tell me to use the map and it'll lead me right to it But I CANT? PLEASE, I'm begging yall Please tell me what I'm missing😭

Never played before

Hi! I’m going to be starting a playthrough of wind waker, and I’m going in pretty darn blind. I’m a streamer, so I want to know if there’s anything I should know beforehand going into it, like if there’s major easter eggs, content I could miss out on, or other things of note. Any guidance would be appreciated!

Thanks!

P.S. I’m not gonna promote my channel rn, simply because I don’t have the date set for the start of the playthrough. I can post that later if you guys would like!

The master sword is almost the same size as Link in wind waker lol. How does he carry that around one handed with ease?

Stuck in the mother island.

Didn't know I had to rescue Aryll before warping to mother child isle. Wanted to get the ice arrows.

Fairy wouldn't come out. I can't warp back out and I have no way of exiting with my boat.

Am I missing something or have I done a dumb thing and gotta go back to my last save?

Update: got out of my boat. Then back in and tried again and it worked. Phew.

I can't even get to the earth temple because I didn't break the rock now there's a cut scene glitch and I can't enter. I can't break it either because whenever I go to headstone island there's an unskippabe cutscene
