Story
Kingdom Hearts
Wakka is a resident of the Destiny Islands and a friend of Sora, Kairi, and Riku. He spends a lot of time with Tidus and Selphie, and treats them just as a big brother would. He and Tidus expressed their curiosity over the Secret Place, and were thinking of exploring it.
Like Selphie and Tidus, Wakka appears in Sora's Dive to the Heart on the Destiny Islands area. His question, "What do you want outta life?" also helps determine the leveling pace throughout the rest of the game. Sora can answer with either A) to see rare sights, B) to broaden my horizons, or C) to be strong.
He can be fought while on Destiny Islands. He uses his Blitzball to attack as he did in Final Fantasy X (thus requiring the player to deflect Wakka's Blitzball back at him), but this one lacking the bumps and Spiran script for the word "blitzball" of the original Blitzball. Nevertheless, this makes him, out of all the Destiny Islands and Twilight Town Final Fantasy characters, the only one to use the exact same weapon as his original incarnation.
Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
A memory-based version of Wakka appears in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories inside the Destiny Islands simulation in Castle Oblivion. In the ending credits of Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, Wakka is shown playing with Selphie and Tidus on a beach facing the Small Island.
Kingdom Hearts II
Wakka makes no appearance in Kingdom Hearts II, just as Tidus doesn't. The two are only briefly mentioned by Selphie when she is talking to Kairi early on in the game, described as being "wrapped up in their ball game." (a reference to Blitzball from Final Fantasy X)
Battle Skills
Like in Final Fantasy X, Wakka fights by throwing blitzball.
On Destiny Islands, he practices fighting skills with Sora as a way for the player to improve his level. On the second day, Sora is able to fight against Wakka, Tidus and Selphie at the same time.
Trivia
- Like in Final Fantasy X, Wakka has a very strong accent.
- Originally, Wakka was not intended to be in Kingdom Hearts, his role was supposed to be filled by Final Fantasy 8's Irvine.
- Wakka's age was presented in the Kingdom Hearts guidebook as 13.
- The X shaped straps on Wakka's pants may be a reference to the game he originated from, FFX.
- Out of he, Selphie, and Tidus, Wakka is the easiest of the trio to gain EXP from, because of the fact that you gain 1 Tech point for each reflected blitzball he throws at you, and since this is his main strategy of attack he will throw a lot of balls per match (if you refrain from defeating him too swiftly).
