So I finally got round to finishing Zelda-The Wind Waker. Exams meant that I had to take my time playing through and I must admit I enjoed most of the game.

I haven't played a zelda game since the SNES and along with Mario Kart it was the only game that made me get one in the first place.
Anyway with Wind Waker I was pleased with the game, surprised in a way that the Cel Shaded graphics didn't let the game down at all and in a special way maybe made it better.

Felt that some parts where repetitive, like the fish reading the maps and having to go back to places a pointless times.

But that was just the one minor thing that maybe let the game down a little.

Now time to experience the bonus disk. Just hope there is more games like this to add to my collection in the future.

If you think the game's short then you obvioulsy only scratched the surface of the game.

Sure youcould probably get through the main quest in a weekend of solid play if you really wanted too. But there's litterally hours and hours of extra quests too go on and secrets to find.

I've had it since 2 days before the official release day and I'm still going strong. I've had at least 60 hours out of it, probably more.

I found Zelda: Wind Waker far to short and far to easy. I think Nintendo are pushing the games they produce out faster than they normally would because of the low sales. If you think about Wind Waker most of it is just sailing even if you have the warp meldody.

Funny, I managed to hit that wind god dude every time with my arrows.

Luck wasn't a part of it.

the bonus discs are amazing although you cannot use them on a portable screen as they only run in 60Hz mode which is a bit crap but they are well worth it like the classic playthrough of ocarina
although master quest ios absolutely solid i cant do it to save my life i keep gettin stuc every 5mins
