Yeah I know, a crap title. I was surprised to receive the Wind Waker a day early, especially since I only paid £30 for it (with the bonus disc). Anyway, I played the game for an hour or so before going to college, and initial impressions are good. Very good indeed. The graphical style will amaze for the first few minutes of play, and then it will all become familiar, like any other game. Having NEVER played a cell shaded game before, the style is wonderful.
I've got another free hour before my next lesson - so why am I not playing the game right now? Well, let me explain. You know how every reviewer has said that they went through Zelda without losing a single life? I've lost one in Outset Island - the first island - to a PIG. I was trying to pick the damn thing up by sneaking up next to it, but nothing happens - so naturally, I gave it a few swipes of the sword and pretty soon, it started to ram poor Link silly. Then, it was two against one - and I had no shield, so death was inevitable. Slightly embarrassing considering I completed Ocarina of Time only losing one life.
Oh, special mention goes to the musical encores every time Link's sword makes contact with an enemy - it makes fighting more dramatic.

Shiny isn't a colour, but it looks better than the platinum coloured Cube. That's what he means, I think.

No, he mentions he has the best COLOURED gamecube. Shiny isn't a colour. And what the hell does the fact that it plays DVDs have to do with how good the colour is?

It plays DVDs and GC games, and it IS shiny, which could be the reason.

So the platinum coloured gamecube is poo, but the nice shiny silver/platinum coloured Q is "one of the best"???? How contradictive can you get?!!
