"Am I the only one here who find the Wind Waker a little..."

...patronising?

I've just got the sword and it feals as if I'm a seven year old.

Gah... £40 wasted?

Oi!
Only I'm allowed to do the funky gibbon.
*Does*
Poophead.

What?


OOT ending wasy rubbish!


*spoiler*



Link gives the Ocarina of Time back and everyone does the funky gibbon in Hyrule Field for five minutes.

Yippee.

More nekkid ladees next time, less dissaproving sailors and a attempted seduction by the Deku Tree.
This is dynamite, baby ...
*Wanders off*

I felt that the ending was a little dissapointing, compared to OOT or Majora's Mask which had excellent endings. Although the 2nd time aroud thing has brought me backinto it!

Hopefully the next Zelda game will lead on from Wind Waker with maybe Link & the pirates sailing off to a new world as majora's mask lead on from OOT.

OOT was easy, I agree but only because it was big

I thought OoT's ones were mostly easy....
even ganon.
WWstill a damn good game.
Possibily if we get another Zelda that follows from OoT story and at medium difficulty then we may find the best Zelda game..
But in my opinion i like both OoT and WW

The bosses weren't 'mostly' easy; they were all easy.

Meh. I think too many people see whatever fault in Wind Waker and forget the same 'fault' was in previous Zeldas... those things when you get the rupees have been there since OOT and before... What annoyed me wasn't what was said, but the fact that you couldn't simply tap 'A' or 'B' to skip the text when you got a rupee/treasure chart/any 'special' item that there are many of... you shouldn't be able to skip it the first time, buy after that it can get a little annoying... and also I don't really think the heart pieces are 'dished out' too easily... just sailing around and picking them up off the sea floor using treasure charts is the easy bit... getting the chart itself to tell you where to look is also a part of getting them.

Anyway, my thoughts on the game...
Not enough dungeons (very few compared to Ocarina...)
Sailing element was good, but overused
Various islands and charts quite cunning way to structure the game
Nice amount of freedom to explore (moreso than Ocarina I felt)
Mostly likeable characters
Bosses generally too easy
Good combat additions (counter attack and picking up weapons) but at times made battles too easy
Some pretty cool 'epic' feeling battles

Perhaps but it doesnt mean it's more childlike.. just easier..
but oh well it's still playable and addictive.
Next game should be better and follow from OoT's storyline that would be sweet.

I think it's genuinely more childlike than the N64 versions, mainly due to it being a whole lot easier, and also the way it dishes out previously difficult to attain power-ups (like quarter hearts, etc) with abundance.
