Brother came back from Uni for the weekend, and bought his Jap version of Zelda too. Naturally I slapped it intomy shiny shiny Q and got playing :D


Firstly allow me to reaasure you that it is easily the best game on all the next gen consoles (I'm not including Skies of Arcadia, that's a given).

Anyway, The Legend of Zelda: Kaze no Takuto was the title we were told, but I propose this question; How thick are you?

There it was, clearly written ON THE BOX

"The Legend of Zelda: Takt Of Wind"

underneath the Japanese written title.

hmmmm


Anyway, I don't want to spoil anything for you, but the start is 50x better than OOT's. Sure, there is no detailed intro the story, but why should there be? The game starts off in happy times after all, besides, it's far more exciting to suddenly have this giant bird swoop from the sky clutching a girl in it's talons, with Pirates in toe, suddenly turning up offshore your peaceful village.

The fighting is superb, a good improvment on OOT's and MM's. The moves are smooth and there's a great new addition to the roster, but I won't spoil the suprise :D Also, when defeated they die in simply beautiful swirls of stylish smoke, far better than vapourising like in Starfox.


My favourite moment?

Buying some weird fruit from the shop, that looks like a screaming face.

I 'used' it to be greated by a humourous cut-scene of Link balancing it on it's head, then seeing a seagul swoop down to eat it off it's head. the good bit? You then get to be the seagul! You can fly around everywhere, t'was very cool.


Oh, and intro is cool, some lovely piccalo music, and it looks like it tells the story of the different generations of Links, that come by whenever the Triforce is in danger.

Can't wait for my US copy :D Everyone should be this, even you AJ.

I want the Wind Waker more every time someone mentions it. Even if it turns out to be only half as good as Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, it'll be one excellent game.

Heh

I thought the graphics were a little bland at first, there's so much ocean in the first few shots. But then my eyes adjusted to the style and looked it sweet, and then I jumped in the sea to check it out and the water ripples and splashes were awesome :D

The first level is a sweet stealth bit, on this big grey island with a huge tower on it, it looked suitable dark and evil :D You've probably seen the screenshot, the big tower with all the giant anchors hanging off it and stuff.

Oh, and there's a funny bit involving a barrel and a catapault :D

I wasn't going to import many games, but recently I thought sod the stars, as soon as MP and Zelda are released the people with Mickey Mouse and NBA will claim all the GBAs anyway (and I want SP now anyway).

Plus with the freeloader I can play me PAL games on my Q and sell my orignal GC for some well needed money.
