What Does WW Stand For?

Wonder Woman

WW stands for Wonder Woman. Considered by many to be the greatest female superhero of all time, Wonder Woman first appeared in comics in 1941 and has gone on to star in several notable films and TV shows.

Depictions of the Amazing Amazon have varied over time, but most media portray Wonder Woman as a superpowered princess who hails from Themyscira (also known as Paradise Island). Sent to teach Man's World the power of peace and harmony, Wonder Woman wields her indestructible bracelets and Lasso of Truth both solo and as a member of the Justice League.

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

WW is common shorthand in the gaming community for The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, a 2002 action-adventure game released for the Nintendo GameCube. Fans of the Zelda series use WW to quickly reference the game in online discussions, gaming forums, speedrunning communities, and social media posts.

For example, players often use "WW" when discussing gameplay mechanics, speedrunning strategies, dungeon designs, sailing mechanics, or sharing opinions about the game's art style, which features a distinctive cel-shaded design. People also use the shorthand when referencing The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD, a 2013 remaster for the Wii U, though some may specify "WWHD" to distinguish it from the original. Some other shorthand for Zelda installments include OOT for the Ocarina of Time and TP for Twilight Princess.

Example

Just finished another playthrough of WW, and man, the atmosphere is still amazing. The ocean feels so alive! Agreed! WW has some of the best exploration in the series. Did you 100% it, or just main story? Just the main story this time. The Triforce shard hunt still slows things down a bit, even in WWHD

Wrong Way

When you're headed in the incorrect direction, WW stands for "wrong way." You might receive this acronym from friends, family members, or co-workers, when they realize you've whiffed on following their directions. (Or, they're trying to prematurely stop you from going the WW.)

Gamers might also receive WW in gaming chat, when their teammates see they are going the wrong way. For example, if you take off in the wrong direction for a boss battle, the rest of your party might tell you that you're going the WW.

Example

You passed 50th St? Then you're definitely going the WW I know that. How do I fix it?
