Well i managed to complete The Wind waker at last.
But havnen't got everything yet.
Last battle with ganon is simply brilliant but all in all..
it's the same old zelda feeling...... once you finish it you want more!
The Zelda series simply isn't dieing it's simply evolving and still has it's magical feel to it due to some superb work by nintendo.

There was a King of Hyrule in OOT.


You just never saw him, but you see Gannondorf kneeling to him when you look through the window.

Get the song off the guy in the cylone and it's very easy.

Nope, get the song of passing though and it's very easy. You don't have to do the gallery anyway, it's just an extra.

It's not a straight follow up to Ocarina. Look at the pictures in Hyrule castle and you can see it's not, also there was no king of Hyrule back in OOT.

They sealed Hyrule away. The world in Wind Waker has got nothingto do with it.

Yeah, I spoke to the Déku Tree, and he told me where to go.

But you've still got to SAIL to almost-all of those places - and we all know how bad sailing the high-seas can be!


And is there any way of making that bloke in the Nintendo Gallery work-on MORE than just ONE figure at a time??

Otherwise, it's just gonna take ages - and I WILL get bored of this game!


Also, was Hyrule ever really "hilly" or full of mountains, back in the days of the N64?? I don't seem to remember so... Yet, Nintendo have created a game that tells you the land was COVERED in huge-mountains, back when the "Hero of Time" arrived - yet it clearly wasn't!

And it surely can't be that The Wind Waker is only based on a small section of the land of Hyrule... Can it?

All this talk about WW has got me really looking forward to getting my GC in a few days (WW comes with it). I havent played a Zelda since my mates 64, so everything should feel rather fresh.

One one hand Wind Waker is very easy, but it also helps the progression of the game. You never get stuck on things fo long meaning boredom doesn't set in.

I see no problem with having similiarities to Ocarina of Time, it takes all that made OOT, multiplies it by 10 and adds loads of new stuff.

Oh and the leaf thing is very, very easy to do. Speak to the Deku Tree and he'll put the places of all the leafs on your map.

The Wind Waker is brilliant in so-many ways, but, yes, there are some bad-points...


-How very-Ocarina of Time it is.

-Trying to save those withering trees, only to then realise you need to get to them ALL within 20 minutes!

-Having to collect 8-shards of the Triforce - just for ONE of the THREE pieces!

-Those flying things out at sea which hit you right as you're about to shoot them with the cannon!

-The in-accurate cannoned-boats - which only-ever actually HIT you when you're trying to do something important!!

-How easy the majoity of the adventure really is - even the Savage Labyrinth can be completed with ease, if you have time and patience.

I hate WW they made the graphics bad they changed the beautiful storyline to a worse one.And now no online gaming!!I think nintendo should change or the gamecube will be the worst of it's time.I use to love OOT and MM the graphics where great and the storyline was magical.What I don't under stand is why change it?

Zelda games are over too quickly :\
Just that bit more storyline, dungeons and harder AI would make it perfect.
As always the storyline is gripping and makes me want to play more.
I would keep the combat system though it's alot better than OoTs'
