who thought windwaker was supremely kickass :(
i mean come on, talk about sidequests, i loved the freedom and **** in this game but no one on earth seems to appreciate it like me :(:(
Hated it my first playthrough, but on subsequent playthroughs I realized how awesome it really is.
Still, there could've been a few more islands. >_>
I haven't played it yet. I'm planning on to after I complete T.P.
It looks kickass. Link is kinda cute in that game.
I liked the graphics a lot, and it was a unique spin on the series. :)
Supremely? Kickass? Not quite. I thought it was great, but not supremely kickass. Too many faults for it to be called that.
Aw...
What about "4 swords"? My friends told me it was great. Is it?
not really.
Why so?
Because Four Swords was a multiplayer only game and you had to unlock it.
Four Sword Adventures is somewhat decent, though.
I liked Wind Waker, going to all of the different islands, exploring etc was fun.
It's not a single player game. I mean, you can play it that way, but then it's terrible.
:(
But I want to know what makes it terrible. Seeing as we probably have different opinions on what makes a game terrible, I want to see what are your points to see if it's worth buying the game. Explain please :)
It's a four player game. Except you're playing it by yourself. The mechanics are built around four separate characters, and the fun is centred around you and three hour friends playing those four characters. Now take away the friends, add basic AI, and you're left with ****ty game mechanics that feel horribly hollow and absolutely no fun to actually play.
Wind Waker was amazing. In my opinion, it has the most replay value.
Not the best, though. That goes to MM. :) MM wins above all. OOT is actually my least favorite 3D Zelda.
I love WW. The only bad part is serching for the triforce shards, and how incredibly expencive it was to boot.
I enjoyed it, but there were times where I got impatient because there was so much to do just to advance slightly in the plotline. Even with the warp points, it took a long time to get to unmarked islands.
Still, the freedom and the overall theme and appearance of the game made it a lot more fun. It was definitely a good change from the rest of the series.
I kinda regret trading it in directly after beating it. I didn't get a chance to explore.
Windwaker was ****ing awesome, man. >_> Though it has the power to give me the feeling of combat high.
I didn't like Windwaker just because i expected more from it, it was ok but nothing incredible. Yet.....I like Zelda II a lot and no one else does.
Zelda II....You mean a link to past? If so, I also liked that game dude. You're not the only one ;)
Oh I didn't try that one yet. I probably never will. I don't know where to find a NES anymore :(
They don't like it because it was a side-scroller and a ton different than the first. Though I enjoyed.
I want to see another like AoL. >_>
Wind Waker was my favourite Zelda game of all, thats even after playing TP, and considering how much I loved OOT.
The exploring, and just the feeling and atmosphere of bein gout in you ship, sailing the ocean.
Too many people appeared impatient with the sailing, I loved it, always looking around with the camera, steering every part of the way...
And the sidequests.
Oh and the characters! Like that guy who makes the splashing noises and owns the big cannon!
Also, so many people complained about the Triforce Shards bit??
What the!
It was more chance to do sidequests/explore those islands and get into fights which were great fun and in return usually get a buttload of money....
ahhh dam kids these days.
I asked my dad to get me The Wind Waker for my b-day. Can't wait to try it.
i loved wind waker but the part with the triforce shards ****ed me off so much i had to stop playing the game for like a month, but then i got back into it and beat it.
I got it, beat it the second day.
Beat it again on the next day, and never played it again.
Getting the Triforce pieces wasn't that bad. It took away from the linearness, so I liked it. Also, getting the actual charts was pretty fun. Getting the actual pieces from the ocean got annoying, but those didn't take that long anyway.
WW was, way, way too linear.
9 more days before I get the game. I doubt it's that linear. Most of my friends said it was kinda complicated at many points.
It's by far the easiest Zelda, but honestly it's the one I've had the most fun with. I bet I killed at least ten or fifteen hours just doing random crap around Windfall Island. Completing that Eskimo guy's exchange quest, decorating the town, etc.
It's not nearly as epic as OoT, MM, or TP, but the graphics style is a real treat, and the gameplay is solid. I wouldn't say any of it is complicated, though. Some puzzles may make you stand around and think for a moment, but there's nothing too difficult in any dungeon.
Well, since you had every peace on the map it was still pretty linear.
I love WW, the graphics are cute and I liked the freedom but I think my favorite Zelda games would have to be OOT and TP :link:
stfu MM wins
I didn't bother going into detail on MM. >_>
MM was my favorite. I'm just saying I had the most FUN with Wind Waker.
...If that makes any sense.
Nope, you speak truth. I GOTCHA, DAN.
I'm not sure if I,ll get WW after all. My dad couldn't find it. Tomorrow we'll try places that sell 2nd hand games. If I can't find it there,...I'm ****ed.
Too bad you can't buy things on the interntet...
... Oh wait...
My dad doesn't want to buy stuff on the internet.
I don't have a credit card.
My mom won't buy me VGs.
Why are you relying on your parents to buy it for you? You can find it for like $20 easy if you go to the right store. Even cheaper if it's used.
Sorry for double posting.
I got the game. My dad was joking me all along. He said he looked at 5 different place to find it. So now I'm getting started. Silly dad.
So far the cel graphics are awesome. I love them.
Yeah, the graphics are a real treat. Although the game's far too easy, Link's eyes giving you hints in dungeons was a really nice addition to the franchise.
Well, it's harder than TP at least.
And ****it, this thread makes me want to play WW, but I still have Skies of Arcadia, the Banjo games and the Bomberman 64 games going on. :(
i played OOT and freakin loved it !!! I remember the day i got like it was yesterday .... i went to ( funkoland ) or something like that ?
i didnt know what i should get , so i asked the dude and he was all like Zeldas a cool game and i was i like . cool so i bought it...
and played it . got hooked ... i remember a few months back i played it just to beat the game cause it was fun !!!! YAY !!!!!!!!
too bad this thread isn't about oot >.>;
[quote]I didn't know Link had a little sister. Pretty cute.
IT'S NOT LINK :mad: DID YOU NOT WATCH THE OPENING SEQUENCE
Every Link is Link Link.
link link
lol
Anyway, every link is link. period. As far as finding WW goes, it shouldn't be hard. At all. It's not going to be sold out, and every retailer like Target or Wal-Mart should have it, since it's popular and a greatest hit.
Read thread plz, bby. He's already got WW.
Well I am now trying to enter the Dragon Roost cavern. So far it's pretty long. I must that the fortress was an annoying dungeon, but now it's behind me until I face Ganon.
I thought it was a fair game. I liked sailing, the music, and the graphics but I didn't like the storyline.
[FONT="Century Gothic"][COLOR="Yellow"]hated it. i absolutely hated the storyline and i also was shocked when the replaced the ocarina with a coonductor's stick. [/COLOR][/FONT]
I'm going to guess Ocarina was the first Zelda you ever played.
Playing it for the first time, and I'm liking it. Save the part where right after defeating that hanging plant in the Forbidden Forest my GC decides to stall.

I didn't make the game. I'm just sharing my critisisms.
[/COLOR][/FONT]
What does it matter?
The Wind Waker had... Well, the Wind Waker. It was an amazing game. Twilight Princess had grass/Horse Call, and it was an amazing game. The Wind Waker and the Ocarina of Time did the exact same things, save the time travel, so what difference does it make?
[FONT="Comic Sans MS"][COLOR="Yellow"]
......
It looks different. And plays different. And, I'd bet if you put any amount of money on it, it would taste different too!
Regardless, thats not the reason I didn't like Windwaker. The storyline was awful, it didn't really have the Zelda feel for me, and the graphics didn't quite suit the 3D enviroment like they compliment Paper Mario perfectly.
[/COLOR][/FONT]
Love Wind Waker. As it stands, it's the only Zelda game I can pick up, and play completely through at least twice a year and never get bored of it.
To even use the difference between the Ocarina and Wind Waker as an excuse as to why you don't like it is nothing short of a troll remark. Unless you have a fetish for how the ocarina sounded, they had the same exact role, you used them pretty much the same ways. Seriously, it's like saying I hated the Claw Shot from TP because it looked and had a different name from the Hook Shot.
Now graphics, a lot of people hated them, but most Zelda fans understood why Nintendo did it in a cell-shaded cartoon form. First off, as Alastor said, Link wasn't "Link." He was just a normal boy. The ocean, the scenery, and the story would not have felt the same had they not been in that style. Personally, unless you have a problem playing a game that looks like a cartoon, I don't see what was so bad.
Story was far from bad or boring. It had more "The Legend of Zelda" story content than any other Zelda game. I still find things I've missed that link it to Ocarina of Time every time I play it. Not liking the story is one thing, but saying it "lacked the Zelda feel" is complete bullshit.
I liked WW, it's one of the 'rouge' games that appear in every series, those games frequently look and play different, but are most often very good in their own right,Paper Mario is a good example. I think that Wind Waker took some of the best stuff from zelda 1, like the second quest, and having to get all the pieces of the broken triforce so on and so forth, and then added some new stuff like sailing, and made it work together for a really great game.
The cel-shading tecniques gave it a more kid-friendly look than previous Zelda's, so more people would buy it, and that would increase the fan base for the entire series, over all it was a very good game.
ok, maybe it was peer pressure to hate it? Maybe subliminal messages from others speaking negative about WW graphics made you hate it. If that's true, your parents still failed.
Windwaker is a highly underrated game. If I correctly recall, the world was expecting some top-of-the-line Gamecube graphics for Windwaker. When everyone found out it was cel-shaded, the hype massively decreased, leading the game to fly under the radar.
I loved the game. I believe that many people probably were expecting another Ocarina of Time. The only problem I had was sailing the map for half the game.
There were that many? Obviously played none of those *blushes*
Well I still disagree with people not liking the game as much because of the cel-shaded graphics. It was the first Zelda game with such graphics and I thought it made it look good. But it's all a question of opinions.
People just don't like cel-shading according to the sales of just about all those games.
It shouldn't have anything to do with sales. It should have everything to do with the game itself. Tsk.
All anyone cares about these days are realistic graphics. The cartoon feel cel shading provides is a major turn off to these people.
I didn't like wind waker because the plot was kind of stupid. Thought the way his sister was taken away was dumb, and it wasn't even Link, it was some kid playing dress up and happened to get involved via his sister. The legend it talks about in the beginning is the Link from OoT. The whole sailing thing from island to island was ridiculous. Before I got the ballad of winds or whatever, I sailed from one side of the map to the other, and that took like 15 minutes...it is a bit better that they felt for the player and took that away in phantom hourglass. The graphics were weird to me. And the game was SO EASY. But guess that is a given for it being a kiddish game. I'm not one for the toon shading; fake-o link looked even weirder, his eyes were like psycho-cat eyes, which glowed. This game was just meh, one playthrough is enough for me. Sorry if I offend anyone that takes this personally.
