You barely move on speed 1 same with reversing..... No one is going to enjoy taking hours to find the next biome when you can be attacked by the serpent at anytime in the deep sea. Hug the shore where it is more shallow to avoid the serpent you say? Run into the plains biome and aggro a deathsquito while being un equip and its game over. The wind mechanic makes you go in directions that you dont want to go in just to keep moving at a reasonable pace this is the issue.

The wind does not always need to be blowing exactly from behind in order for you to move forward. It can also blow at an angle with respect to your desired direction. Look up online how sailing works in real life and the relationship between the wind and your desired trajectory.

You really are complaining about a non-existing issue (sorry to say that).

Removing the wind mechanic in-game would be absolutely horrible and would dumb the game down way too much in my opinion.

And besides, you're a Viking for Odin's sake! You know what Vikings were supposedly good at, right?
