...best game i've ever played.
Ever.
I've only been playing it for 3 days and i'm proper bumming it now.
I've never ever played a Zelda game before this, so its all new to me and I love it.
The graphics are by far the best i've EVER seen.
Yes. The best.
And there is so much stuff to do! Argh I cannot beleive how good this game is! Especially sailing the oceans, thats fun. And the idea of controlling the wind.
I defeated the first boss at about 3am this morning. *Jaw Drops* Graphiccly stunning. Amazing!
Nintendo have seriously pulled off a fantastic game.
Oh and take a look at this: -

Agree? I do. They are both similar.

How come the minds of so many people and professional game reviewers disagree with you and give it 95% plus

I was sat on the edge of my seat waiting for the release. Now i'm sat back in my seat waiting for the game to end so i can back to something worth playing. I'm not saying it's awfull just dissapointing and nowhere near as good as you all make it out to be.
It's all down to personal opinion of course. OoT is still regarded as the better game, due to a few slight flaws in Wind Waker (sailing can get tedious, though I don't mind it, and the size and amount on dungeons), but there are quite a few elements in TWW that are far superior.
It's also about expectations. Nowadays I don't get caught in the hype machine that accompanies big games like The Wind Waker, Metroid etc, so I take them at face value, not as a magazine hypes it up to be. I didn't have huge expectaions about TWW, I looked foward to it of course, but I didn't keep hoping it was going to be the best game ever, so it never let me down because I didn't have deluded expectations about it.

Still a disapointment!

I wouldn't go that far, remember The Getaway?

In what way? Each character is unique and oozes style. Look at how different each member of Outset and Windfall Islands are. They all look different, with many having funny little quirks (the kid on Outset Island with the snot in his nose cracks me all the time). In fact, I'd say The Wind Waker has the best character designs in gaming history.

I wouldn't say it's boring, just a tried and tested formula.

The fighting engine is superb, and way better the OoT due to the increased control precision. The lock-on works perfectly and the counter-attack moves are great.

The new zelda is...
I dissagree. The zelda is the biggest disapointment in gaming history. The characters are porley designed, the story is boring and the fighting system is dull an unoriginal. Ocarina of time is still the best game ever made. no exceptions!

you give 20 to the teacher on WIndfall and get her house (which is where a triforce map is) and then give her another 60 for an itemlater in the game :)
