thoughts on Wind Waker

[Hitokiri]

I hear alot of bashing on the game Legend of Zelda; Wind Waker cause of it's graphics.

For me, I just love the game. Its like my number 1 favorite game and I like it much better then dare I say it, Ocarina of time (ONNNNGGGG!!!!!). I just love the use of a boat to travel and also one of my favorite new features is that Nintendo Gallery.

So my view on Wind Waker, it's awesome. Though I have yet to se eif this new Zeld agame coming out can beat Wind Waker for me at least.

I actually didn't care for WW, not because of the graphics, but because of the lack of land, the music was also... bleh for me too, and yes I did give this game a chance, I beat it.

I will not bash Wind Waker because of its graphics. If it is enjoyable, I will play it. In fact, I have nothing to say on the issue of Wind Waker, but that is not why I post in this thread. My purpose is to contest another statement made.

Why?

Hey I like the Wind Waker...really more as a standalone game (it really doesn't measure up to the other Zelda titles though). I like the cell shaded graphics a lot...especially with the combat animation. Some days I'd just turn it on just to hit enemies...b/c hitting enemies is fun :p. I played it, beat it, and enjoyed it. But I still like Majora's Mask better (which is an equally bashed zelda title heheh)

I loved Windwaker! Sometimes I think I'm the only one in the country that did, but I loved it. The graphics, the style, the designs, the gameplay--I don't have a single complaint about it. I loved the story, the music...just *everything*. It was easy enough not to get frustrated but hard enough to be challenging. I think it's probably my favorite zelda title.

Wind Waker was a great GC game. It had a few flaws but it was still very enjoyable and it sold very well.

Why?

Granted I loved Ocarina of Time but I wanted a change from riding a horse.

I'm a water person. I lvoe the water and I plan on living on the oceans up north somewhere or at leats near water. So bieng able to travel on the water is a bonus with a awesoem bopat that talks to you which is another plus.

I loved the fact how Wind Waker tied in with Ocarina which I found brilliant. Iloved all the new (and old) weapons and the option to pic them up. I loved all the crazy characters and also all the end bosses.

I liked all the side-quests such as trading stuff for Zunari's shop and my favorite, the Nintendo Gallery.

I loved Ocarina of Time, dont get me wrong. I plan on playing it again after I beat Wind Waker for like the 10th time

Wind Wake rjust appealed to me more. However I which is was longer, Wind Waker that is.

Perhaps you could retype that sentence. It does not make a lot of sense in its current form.

Other than that, I see your point. It is more of an issue that it is your favorite game, because of your preferances, which are obviously different from everyone else's. I don't have a problem with that.

[Hitokiri]

what I pretty much meant is I prefer Wind Waker over Ocarina of Time.

But still Ocarina is by far a awesome game! I just like Wind waker better.

I don't like WW. Not because of the graphics (I thought it worked well) not because of the music (which fits the graphic style) but the gameplay

It was a long game with short levels. Its length wasn't due to cool in depth dungeons ala LTTP and OOT, but due to the sailing. I'll admit that I got sick of the game due to the amount of sailing that had to be done. I really couldn't be bothered with it anymore.

It's one game I honestly don't think I'll replay anytime soon. OOT I won't replay because of the Water Temple. WW I won't replay because of the Sailing. LTTP I replay all the time.

Okay, I loved the Wind Waker graphics, story, and music. ^^;; But the thing I didn't like about it was the King of the Red Lions. He was all like... grrr.... and riding him was, like.... grrrr... and he talked too much. I like horses better than talking boats.

[Aijou]

I thought Wind Waker was ok. I never had a problem with the graphics, however I did not enjoy sailing around for all that treasure. It became too much of a chore. Especially (I don't want to spoil this for anyone who hasn't gotten to this part, so forgive me :S) [spoiler]when I had to look for those triforce pieces.[/spoiler] The ending, in my opinion, wasn't all that great either. It was an ok game though.

Cobalt: *lol* Epona should have been a talking horse.

[PotBelliedCow]

Another reason I was never very found of WW: no Epona.

Epona rocks!!!

wind waker was so different than the other zelda games... it's not really bad just different... i wish they'd go back to real-life looking zelda tho... but i think they are, i think they annonced doing a legend of zelda real life style, perhaps an actual sequal to ocarina?

See the prior address for CAA's thread on the new, realistic looking Zelda. Scan through the thread for screenshots, links to video clips, interviews and all manner of information, in addition to a fair amount of discussion.

one hting im surprised no one has commented on (i think I did) was the Nintendo Gallery. I aboslutely love that place and currently, I'm trying to get every single figurine.

Trying to get all the figurines gets addicting but they're quite fun to look at.

[CobaltAngel]

LOL, yeah the figurine thing is cool. ^_^ But... bleh... King of the Red Lions...
