Temple of Time was tedious having to lead the statue back the the beginning, but the Water Temple was the true bitch, like always.

I'm playing through Wind Waker now again (in pro-scan, yay!) real quickly (seems shorter now) just to draw a comparison between it and TP. I don't see how everyone sees TP as being so flawed. It kicks WW's ass in every way, and that has nothing to do with presentation.

Hell, I just might play TP again after this. I love it that much.

WW had:
  • better graphics
  • overall better and smoother controls
  • more enjoyable set of sidequests
  • better camera system
  • a more cohesive story
  • Ganon and Zelda as fleshed out characters
I'm glad you liked TP that much but some of those points above are not even debatable.

I think it's kind of sad that WW was rushed to production yet feels like a complete game, while TP spent four years in development and does not.

*E* LogicDonny, I think the Cave of Ordeals just unlocks Fairy fountains. It might be worth a go if you're looking for a challenge but don't bother going in there for the reward.

TP had better dungeon puzzles on the whole. That and the addition of new moves are the only two improvements over tWW. The rest doesn't even come close.

As for the Cave or Ordeals, every 10 levels makes fairies appear in fountains arouns the world, and you get fairy tears for beating it. A completelty worthless bottle filler that heals you completely and makes your attacks stronger for a limited time.

You mean like Grandma's Soup? It's been done before! ROALZ

I've been playing Wind Waker for the past few days, and I can say that WW is almost better than Ocarina of Time in terms of gameplay. I enjoy playing it more than OoT.

Don't forget the boss battles. Minus Blizzeta, she was awful.

Yeah it is, if you look forward to a good ole' fashioned arcade style endurance fight with that superb combat engine.

My favorite was the battle where you fight using mainly the Spinner against the big skeleton guy. That was exhilarating.

I thought we were talking about Twilight Princess, not God of War.

I've been playing God of War all day today, actually. I'm amazed at how epic that game is. It's ridiculous. Looks sweet in HD, too.

480p is supported on PS2. Go back to having sex with Nintendo.

GOT 'EM!

480p Pro-Scan to be exact. Plus, 480p isn't an actual HD resolution. I do believe 720p is the first. n00b!

GOT EM!

And oh yeah, all of that aside, God of War still likes 100x better than TP running in PS. Sorry, lamers!

You're right, it does start at 720. I'm dumb.

But yes, God of War looks better than Twilight Princess.

remember how in wind waker after you beat the game, u can start again and have some new stuff unlocked like
Spoiler:
translated language u couldn't read first time through, new costume and a bunch of new figurines i think


I was hoping zelda tp had some excellent unlockables like a 2nd quest. you know I ask too much but for a zelda fan who been waiting for this game for a long time I was expecting some great secret unlockable.. oh well, at least there was a few sidequests here and there and that cave of ordeals.. still excellent game but not the best sadly.
