I was just coming in to type this. It's so great looking. And hero mode made a bitch of me already. I fell into lava and died in the first dungeon.

I would have survived if it wasn't for f*cking keese. Damn yooooou.

Wii U deluxe set with The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD.

I thought it would be cool to get a 32 gigabyte system that's the same price as the 8 gigabyte model, although I think I'd rather have a physical copy of Wind Waker HD. I believe the earliest copies are supposed to have some special packaging if I understand correctly.

*Brodie* · 09-20-2013, 10:53 PM

The physical game ha special packaging? Aside from the Collectors Edition?

Peanut · 09-20-2013, 11:02 PM

I've never heard of anything outside the Collector's Edition and the various changes to the box art between regions. I'd just assume it's Storm Eagle being clueless again.

Unless it was some small announcement somewhere or a baseless rumor floating around.

Sh*t. I may have to get that. I was putting off a Wii U for a bit longer, possibly until Christmas, but now... I'unno...

There you are.

What am I looking at? The gold cover? The one that's been the default cover they've shown for the NA release since the beginning? I don't know where I'm looking here. That seems about as special edition is the RAGE Anarchy Edition or the Bulletstorm Epic Edition which is basically every copy of the game.

I was just showing you where I got the information from.

I'm thinking that the artwork will just be gold foil like the artwork on the Skyward Sword wrap, and that later copies will just be regular.

I guess we'll know for sure when they hit the shelves come October 4th. I've already pre-ordered mine.

Grats, welcome to the Wii U fold. Yeah it should have the physical version in that box. It does suck. But it's still a nice purchase.

I bought a Wii U 32GB deluxe on launch day, and have the limited edition of WW:HD on pre-order at gamestop. I will soon be joining everyone in the Zelda fold... again.

Been watching some of Cosmo's stream, looks beautiful

It's both satisfying and frustrating to see the general game audience at large come around on Wind Waker. A game that was trashed for 10 god damn years by people who never gave it a chance, or sh*t on it without playing, is finally getting some recognition. I've heard so much praise for it in the last two days its astounding.

We've been saying this sh*t for years! Wind Waker is one of the absolute most timeless games ever created.

Thanks.

Well, while I wait for the physical copy, there's still Earthbound fro the eShop to tide me over.

I never understood the disdain for that game. It's so ****in' great! How can anyone NOT like it? Glad to hear more and more people are enjoying it. I guess 10 years was enough time for people to grow up, change their mind, and for a new generation of gamers to discover Zelda games.

~~Leo656~~ · 09-22-2013, 12:16 AM

Some of it had to do with the fact it came out when the Xbox and PS2 were showing off greater graphical detail than ever before while the Gamecube was fighting the reputation of being a "kiddie console". A lot of people simply couldn't get past the graphics of Wind Waker and used that as justification in their ridiculous "everything Nintendo is for babies" arguments.

I confess at first glance I wasn't thrilled with the new look back then, but by the time the game came out I was over it, and most anyone who's actually played it seems to love it, but I wish more people had given it a chance. I still run into people who say "Man, I love Zelda, but I just couldn't bring myself to play that one," and I wish we were still young enough so I could hit them for it and not get in trouble. It's like the best game people passed on for the dumbest reason. Their loss, I guess.

I was also disappointed when they went with a cartoonish look for the game, but since I'm a Zelda fan anyway, I decided I'd get it anyway. Even to this day, I still don't regret it. There's even some great music in that game.

I guess the way Ganondorf gets defeated in the game might even make up for the "kiddie" look.

*The Stryker* · 09-22-2013, 10:29 AM

I never understood the desire for an 'adult' and 'gritty' Zelda game.

Oh boy! Make it like everything else!

*XERO* · 09-22-2013, 11:18 AM

That 2000 Space World demo trolled a lot of people, didn't it?

*Shark_Blade* · 09-22-2013, 11:31 AM

Currently playing GTA V and Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix.

Here's me playing them..

Part 2 and more can be found in my youtube channel.

Yeah, like lots of people when I saw that I assumed that was the way they were already moving with the next Zelda game, so the Wind Waker art style threw me for a loop. I was against it for a while, then I played a demo and saw how great it actually looked in motion, among other things. It's a great game.

I do, however, occasionally run into someone who says "I really loved that one... but y'know what would have made it *perfect*?" And they always say "If it looked like OoT with sharper graphics." I then make a note to not try and talk at length about video games with that person.

*Brodie* · 09-22-2013, 08:36 PM

People are dumb as ****. I love Wind Waker, and specifically the style. Sure, OoT was in my gaming upbringing, but Wind Waker was when I needed something to make me LOVE video games. N64 Got me in, and Wind Waker on the game cube made me find something better than gaming ********. I was an art kid, and Wind Waker looked beautiful then, and looks amazing now.

I love that game and its style so much, I got a god damned Wind Waker Link tattoo.
