Got it in the post this morning and at first I was anything but impressed. It just had Dreamcast game written all over it, further I got in the more I started to like it though.

The graphics aren't up to much, though they're never ugly (except in the bits where you're flying the ship). Ususally hate turn based combat but I gotta say this is quite fun, the special moves look bad-ass...well at least the one i've seen does.

So far so good, I can see it getting more involving the further in you play. So ummmm yeah, good game so far, I shall go and play some more in a bit.

One thing that made me laugh was playing hide and seek with the tard kids, for some reason they have the strange idea that if they stand behind a washing line with their legs clearly showing, then people can't see them.

In terms of hide and seek techniques, Zelda's kids win the first round :D

I won't get it.

Turn based combat doesn't bother me •that• much, but I can't stand adventure games.

Coincidentally, I've just started playing through the Dreamcast version. I've not got far in, just wandering around the pirate village. I don't rate turn-based combat at ALL, who thought that crap up >:O[ Still, the game seems okay.


Also, Wind Waker is the smallest, easiest Zelda ever
