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.

Perhaps but still i think it's superb thanks to some super nintendo magic.
I'm still eagerly awaiting another zelda game.

I think the wind waker should have more places to explore. there are a lot anyway, but for example "windfall island" could have been huge like that place in final fantasy 9 (cant remember the name- the big fort)! imagine if square got their hands on the zelda franchise? or better still if they combined with nintendo. we would have a genius story with the brilliance of nintendos gameplay. Also it would be cool to have side quests with other characters-like when u get to control the two sages in wind waker. Apparently the ice and fire temples in the game were supposed to be dugeons with two more sages but nintendo ran out of time- that would have rounded the game to near perfection!!! SORT IT OUT NINTENDO

I felt there wasn't enough fights in ocarina of time and they felt slightly dejected compared to the wind wakers' combat system.
Except when you had to go to that desert area.

well it's a same old zelda game...
It's all over too quickly i need more.
But people have to admit the cel shaded look is used very well.
Still to play it for the storyline even though the AI isn't that great it still feels like a traditional Zelda game bring on the next one.

I thought Zelda was slightly disappointing, even if you didn't. It was too small and much too easy, and although I was one of the few looking forward to the new graphical style ever since it was announced, ironically I don't rate it so much in the flesh (although some of the enemies look *fabulous*). However, the beefed up combat engine is pretty cool, watching the new Matrix film when Neo is taking on a hundred Agent Smith's reminded me of certain parts of the Wind Waker :O)

Probably, you get a second save file after you complete the game which starts you off with the deluxe pictobox to complete your collection.

What exactly is the Nintendo Gallery? I got the deluxe pictobox just after Tetra found out she really was Zelda, so can I still complete it?

Director of Zelda said this:
To begin, is there anything you can tell us about the sequel to Wind Waker? How far are you into development and when will we see it?

Aonuma: I am unable to give you any details right now. I am hoping to have a playable version ready by next year's E3, so I'm hoping you'll be patient and look forward to that.

As I did between Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, I will use the same engine and the same graphics of Wind Waker for its sequel. However, I do plan on powering everything up a bit.

I'm gonna play it through at least once more.

It's the kind of game that i won't selling or trading in, so i'll definetly want to play it again a few more times.

Like every other game.. once you done it is there any point playing it again (mostly the single player ones)
Heck one more zelda for the Gamecube before the next console going back to hyrule perhaps i don't mind it being cel shaded because it looks superb.
