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

This game rocks, can't be bothered to go into detail, but it rocks.

Everyone who likes adventure games should get it, even if you can't stand turn based combat (I couldn't until I got Skies)

This game should be great of course it starts off slowly but as you go on and the storyline unfolds you'll get hooked as i did with final fantasy 7.

im sure ocarina of time lasted alot longer than windwaker and that had alot of side quests too. i dont understand what to do with the joy pedastals1 i have got every item in the shop and im sure u have to place them in specific posistions. any help? oot had 10 dungeons including gannons castle. windwaker only has 7 and thats with the forsaken fortress counted twice. surely they could have squeezed another couple in.

You reveal the final part of the story, get the three side characters ultimate weapons and you can then have the final fight with Piastol.

Waits for someone to pick-up on locky's superficial, though quick-witted, attempt at humour...

I think asking for 14 dungeons is a bit much.


And if you want to do everything on Skies without using any guides you're looking at 80+ hours.

Zelda's an absoloutly massive game, it just depends how you play it.

If you ignore the side quests and just go straight through the main story then you could have the game done in a weekend. If you do all the side quests though, god knows how long it takes, i've been playing it for aaaaaaaaages.
