	This page is dedicated to intended mechanics in Wind Waker.		This page is mostly oriented for races and speedruns of the Randomizer, so it's dedicated to deeply analyze intended mechanics in Wind Waker and how to use them optimally.

	== Movement ==		== Movement ==
	The main way to travel in Wind Waker is walking/running or [[sailing]] on the [[King of Red Lions]]. Faster movement on foot can be achieved by rolling. Faster sea travel can be achieved by [[warping]].

	In some cases where rolling isn't an option (Like holding a bomb or a statue), sidehopping is the preferred way of moving, however, in some cases, setting up for a sidehop might take too long, so you would be better off by target turning or just walking to where you need to go.		=== Sailing ===

	=== Rolling ===		==== Rolling ====
	Rolling is the fastest way to move on ground in the game, especially if you chain them constantly with no steps in between them. There's a 2 frame window between each roll in order to keep maximum speed (See the values above). It's also important to try to cut as many corners with each roll as possible. This is made easier with the Notches on the Gamecube controller.		Rolling is the fastest way to move on ground in the game, especially if you chain them constantly with no steps in between them.

	It's important to note that rolls have been modified in the Randomizer to be basically the same as the rolls in the HD version of the game, where they were improved by reducing the minimum speed of a roll from 5 to 20 units of speed, making them easier to do optimally without losing time.

	They normally make you move in straight lines, but since they make use of targetting, if there's an enemy or a targeteable object near you their direction might get messed up since Link will try to turn to be facing towards that object. To avoid this, you gotta press A and target at the same time.

	They're very common for a lot of different setups because they keep your initial angle and they make you move at consistent distances.		They're very common for a lot of different setups because they keep your initial angle and they make you move at consistent distances.

This is made easier with the Notches on the Gamecube controller.

			To roll, you need to hold a direction on the analog stick, then press the A button, Link will then roll to the direction you were holding on the stick with an animation that can not be interrumpted. If you collide with certain walls or objects during this animation, you will bonk into it, losing all your speed and entering an animation that loses a little bit of time.

			It's important to note that rolls have been modified in the Randomizer to be basically the same as the rolls in the HD version of the game, where they were improved by reducing the minimum speed of a roll from 5 to 20 units of speed, making them easier to do optimally without losing time.
