The Legend of Zelda - The Wind Waker

[Mikey the Party Turtle]

Anyone gonna pick this up? :) I just put it on reserve a few days ago, and got Ocarina of Time Master Quest for free. :D The animation looks really fluid and I'm kinda glad Shigeru decided against realistic graphics, because you don't want to see what Link's packin' in Soul Calibar 2. :lol:

Though, the Zelda series main strentgh has always been gameplay, and I'm damn sure it will deliver the goods, and stand up to it's brothers in the series.

[Deepflame]

I'm gonna buy this game sooo much :P
The graphics are fantastic! I couldn't belive my eyes when I first saw it, and if the gameplay resembles that in OOT, this game's gonna wipe floor.
And, it's a Zelda game, and I like those :)

Good to see another Zelda fan! :)
Yes, at first when I saw the debut of the new graphics I was like,"Hmmm.." then I saw the video and everything changed. :lol:

[Deepflame]

Well, I never had any real doubts about the graphics, I tend to put full trust in ol' Shiggy's ideas, although he weren't at the same level of involvement in the development in this game as he was in OOT, as an example.

And YEAH! The Zelda's are great! Just as most Nintendo games, I can't wait til' all these new autumn titles are released.

Well, I never really doubted the game, just change kinda caught me off guard. :lol: I also cannot wait to play F-Zero. :D

[Deepflame]

Yeh! The F-Zero's are some of my favorite games!
I'm also looking forward to playing the new Mario Kart, then there will actually be coming another Zelda game with the realistic style that was shown at E3, together with a new Mario game in 2004, possibly earlier. And about that time Star Fox Armada is to be released too.

And then of course, I have yet to buy Metroid Prime (although that will probably have to wait 'til I clear SM).

I rented Prime, and all I can say is that 14 hours went into playing and beating only 10% of the game. :lol:

[Deepflame]

Whooa! Gotta buy, NOW!

[Mikey the Party Turtle]

Whooa! Gotta buy, NOW!

Yeah, it's too bad I didn't wait and got a 'Cube and get Prime for free. :cry: :lol: I'll buy it eventually though.

[Deepflame]

Argh, well, here in Sweden we have to wait another 17 days before we can buy it at all! Not that it's something negative, now I have time to beat Super Metroid :)
But I'm not sure if I should buy M Fusion, it would probably result in me going low on cash, since I'm going to buy LttP: Four Swords, add Metroid Prime to that and then the Wind Waker in two months. It's at the edges of what I'm ready to spend.

Ah, I see. :)
Well, I'm lucky enough to afford WW. :lol: I also got lucky enough to get the very last copy of Master Quest when I reserved it at my local gaming store.

[Deepflame]

Master Quest? Is that polished version of OOT? How much better does it look?

[Mikey the Party Turtle]

Master Quest? Is that polished version of OOT? How much better does it look?

The only difference in grahics is the that edges are more sharp and clearer and that there is no more slowdown. The dungeons are remixed though, so it gives me something to do until WW comes out over here. (It has a great preview of WW as well!)

[Deepflame]

Ok, thanks for the info.
...

Soo, except the Wind Waker, which upcoming game is first on your want-list?

[Peanut]

GO NINTENDO! WOOOOOOO!

[Deepflame]

Yeah! Let's make this the Nintendo cheering thread! :D

[Mikey the Party Turtle]

Adds to the whooing of the thread:WHOOOO!


@Deepflame:Errr....umm..promise not laugh? :goofygri:

It's either gonna be Pokemon Ruby or Resident Evil 4.

[tekcop]

Why would he laugh? 'Cause you like Pokemon? As long as you only like the game it's all good.

*Whew!* :lol: Then I'm fine. :D

[Deathknight]

I pre-ordered mine but I still haven't gotten the bonus discs... stupid people... oh well I lost my reserve stub anyway.

[PhoenixFire]

You might try Wal-Mart, the walmarts in California got the bonus discs but don't offer a reservation. But you can buy Master Quest/OOT for around $10.

[J Legault]

When I saw the Wind Waker I decide to reserve on March 1. i was just beginning to like the Zelda Series. I like the Way this new one is designed. I got the Special Ocarian of Time Game. I should of gotten the N64 verison along time ago if I had a chance. I just have to wait 22 more days till it comes out. :wink:

[Raphael-sama]

To be perfectly honest, when the first screens of Wind Waker came out all the way back at Spaceworld 2001... I hated it. It was one of many audments there that secured my belief that Nintendo had dug an impenetrable hole and that the company was doomed.

Then E3 rolled around, and I got to see the game in it's proper glory. So I said: "Not bad."

And then I read a snippet about the final boss of the game, and how You-Know-Who helps you fight it.

Needless to say, the game owns me now. I HAVE to get it.

Now just make me a Rare-esque Donkey Kong game, Nintendo, and I'll be content. You don't want one of your oldest customers giving up and buying an Xbox for Banjo-Threeie and Conker, do you? :wink:

[That Matt Guy]

Just what is a "wind waker" anyway?

[Brodie]

The Wind Waker is supposed to be a creature or something, maybe Link, he uses a stick to control the wind.

[cqb101]

I can't wait for this game!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm a huge nintendo fan!!!!!!!!! Go gamecube!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kid Icarus]

Does card game count too??? :P

I reserved WW the night they officialy started the pre-order thing. I'm stuck in the water temple at dark link.

I'm personally going to get sapphire. I liked the blue version a lot.

[cqb101]

The pokemon games are pretty fun.....I might get one of the new ones...

[Duke]

at first i didn't think i'd get this game but the more i see and hear the more i want it. Besides its zelda its gotta be good. I agree that there needs to be a new donkey kong game i love the countries but wasn't the hugest fan of donkey kong 64, but i didn't hate it. DK64 was the reason i bought a 64.

[Deathknight]

Don't count on a DK game any time soon. Rareware is owned by Microsoft now and god knows what they'll do to it.

Yes, but DK is property of Nintendo. :wink: There won't be no more Rare-styled DK games, and Nintendo is rumoured to be making a 3D remake of the original DK game. (You know, where you climb ladders and pound stuff with your hammer as Mario.)

@Gwgtrunks: Really? I'm more to the Red side, since I own Red and Gold. :lol:

Ohh, that can be quite hard, though if you have the Biggoron Sword you can hack him up quickly by doing stabs.

God, I wont miss Rare any particular after DK 64 and SFA, both have replay value' 3 out of 10, too much game in DK 64 and too little of everything in SFA, me thinks.
