"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?

I grrred when I hauled up Silver Rupees and not Heart pieces, but I was thankful later when I had to pay Tingle so much money for all those maps to be deciphered.

*loads shotgun*

I think its amazing. Especially just the uniqueness of the Tingle Tuner.

I got my first Orange Rupee in the Wind Temple.

Yay.

People often make this mistake.
Just because a game looks like it mainly appeals to children doesn't necessarily mean that it is a kiddy game. Likewise with some of my most cherished anime films, some look like they are "just for kids", when in actual fact they are movies the whole family can enjoy together.
Though it does seem to be aimed at a younger audience, The Wind Waker does seem like the sort of game that any age group can enjoy, which is great.

As far as I can remember, that rupee thing started off on Zelda 4 (Link's Awakening on the original Game Boy).

I thought it stupid on the Game Boy, but now I just consider it as a small insignificant part of the game, and so I'm not bothered.

Isn't that the whole idea?

The exploraion, the large unknown world, discovery. It's just like being young again.

Only with a sword that you can hack things up with.

Im sorry but the rupees thing IS funny. You guys take this too seriously.

Not everything has to be like GTA.. the Getaway ugh.

Oh.
These are the ideas I put in the Zelda Help topic thingy for what should happen when you complete it (on the 2nd time around):

And Granny is nekkid.
Plus extra XXX scenes involving Link's big tool and various cast members including Mr Boat himself, a seagul, three pigs, Tingle and the bomb-shop owner.
You have a plane, not a boat.
The sea is white.
Your head is 10x as big
Controlling the wind directs your massive potion-induced farts.
The Forsaken Fortress is a happy fairy-land filled with clouds and flowers and rainbows.
The sharks dress in drag and sip Bloody Marys.
The lighthouse on Windfall is a giant lemon.
The WInd Waker is a human spleen.
The postboxes are yellow.
You shoot penguins, not arrow and sweaty soF**ks, not bombs.
You can carry up to 50 phone books.
The Deku Tree tries to seduce you.
The Ninty Gallery is full of porn.
Instead of Rupees you get jam sandwiches.
You have commands such as "Shut up", "F*F**k you", "Meet me upstairs in 5 minutes", "Yes, I heard you the first time" and "Give me that, or I will chop off your head."
You have to drag a volvo behind you.
You have a machine gun.
The Deku leaf is an inflatable woman.
The moon is a big ar-se
You walk around on you hands.
Everything is made from carrots.

Much better.
