"I know I've said this before, but..."

Well, having never really played a Zelda game before, and certainly never having owned one, I decided to chance the Wind Waker.

Right now I'm surprised at how popular it is. The speech is really annoyingly slow, with one of the most infuriating noises ever recorded at the end of each sentence. Plus the first word of the sentence is usually said, for example "Hey" or "Hello", which is just...unnecessary.

The graphics? Great in a lot of places, in others it's merely passable. I really like some bits, especially the bird that captures Aryll at the start, but the far scenery is made out of cardboard.

The jumping kind of annoys me as well. There is no jump button, but he just jumps when he reaches the end of a platform. It removes the skill, but I guess that's not really the point of the game. That's what your going to say, right? Okay, I take that on board, but at one point I jumped off a ledge thinking it was the right place to go, only to find I'd already been here and couldn't get back up to the ledge. Surely this isn't the point either? A manual jump would've let me get onto a ladder to get back up there.

Now, I haven't got very far for two reasons - hardly any time on the game, no space on the memory card. So I can't comment on battles further into it, but the ones I have done have been incredibly easy. To the point of boredom. Even when you have to get a weapon from the opponent, all you do is stand there pressing block and wait for it to hit you. And it even misses a lot of the time.

Basically random musings here, but it seems very simplistic and Mario-ish most of the time. I'm probably the only person who will understand that, but basically it isn't a good thing. And I know most people won't have got this far because the moment they saw it was primarily an anti-Zelda thread they'll have furiously stuffed on their angry hats ready to type out an amazingly flawed and typo-riddled reply on why I'm wrong in under three seconds, and that's fine. If you want to do that, go ahead, but don't expect to get anywhere. It's all subjective, there is no proof, and a lot of people can't even tell the difference between fact and opinion.

Oh, and what's with those guard pigs who have 360 degree vision?

go go go go

Hm..

No actually. You just want to put down any Nintendo game that is hailed as one of the best games ever. You even admitted it with Mario:

"everytime I see someone talking about it I have to go in and say it's crap"

you go man

Whitestripes, I'm not surprised at your response either. Whenever I say anything you immediately do a massive generalisation. Here's an example:

Me: "Mario is less than great"
You: "You said Mario was absolute you "

I sl*g off every major release? Then what did I say about Metroid Prime? Monkey Ball 2? Nothing because I don't own either. I love Monkey Ball 1, and I said so. I think Resident Evil Zero is excellent, and I said so. I'm not trying to get attention by saying that every release is crap, and neither have I lied about my opinions on any game.

I expect nothing more from you.


My post was just random thoughts that I'm having thus far - by my own admission I've played very little of the game, and my opinions may change. Sadly my last point has been proven within about ten minutes...

why badmouth zelda

I hated OOT.

I love this.

Maybe it's just not your game?

And, for every 1 point you make there are 10 I could make for pro...

it is good though

I'm not surprised given that with every major Nintendo release you come in here and sl*g it off.

it is a wierd game
0.

I'm not surpised u don't like it obviously not a zelda type fan.
Not that i'm gonna listen to these hardcore gamer type rants...
