In order for this game to open up and feel like a Zelda game, where you are exploring, finding secrets and just taking in the sights is roughly a 3rd of the game. For justification I am including the following: Opening village, Dungeon with no sword, 2nd Village, Dragon Roost Island, and realistically Forest Haven, but I'll leave that off for now. In Wind Waker the beginning is painfully slow. Even before meeting Zelda, you are given some freedom of control about exploring the world, and seeing its sights. For OoT I consider the beginning the opening village and the Deku Tree dungeon, and if you want to throw in meeting of Zelda for the first time. Again, I'm not talking about whatever pre-roll cutscene that tells you the story of the world, but what I consider the beginning moments of the game. I've played both NES games, the SNES game, OoT, WW, Links Awakening, Link Between Worlds, and Breath of the Wild, and I stand by my assertation that this game has a terrible intro.
#WIND WAKER SONGS SEE IN GAME SERIES#
You are absolutely right, I haven't played every Zelda game, and hopefully through this series I will right that wrong, but I feel I have played a lot. Now before someone shouts in the comments "if you hated this, then play X" and list another Zelda game. This game has one of the worst beginnings of any Zelda game I have played. Now, this if you are a fan of the WW, then you might want to cover your ears for this part. We will talk about the beginning, the dungeons, the adventuring, and then whatever Misc topic I want to bring up, before we ultimately rank it. Like in my previous review, I think we should keep the categories the same here for WW.
The main formula has not changed for this Zelda, but our locales have changed, focusing on a vast ocean with small islands, and a greater emphasis on exploration then I would say existed in OoT our last review. and then using those items to defeat bosses, etc.
Since you are just a nobody kid from a small town, you must travel far and wide, growing in strength, by visiting dungeons. The Wind Waker (lets just say WW for short) is a game in the Zelda franchise, where you are once again tasked with being the hero of the world and fighting off the ultimate "evil" in Gannon. No one would dare say those early brown shooters are nearly as good looking and have stood the test of time like Wind Waker, this is a game that visually holds up better because of its art style.Īnyway, with all that said. It is an argument that I think, now looks incredibly foolish in hindsight. Then they could show they were adult gamers. It wasn't until I started actually thinking about the issue recently and realized that Gamecube owners were scared that their console of choice was potentially going to be seen as childish, while your xboxs and playstations were the consoles of adults, not wanting to be left behind they clamored for various browns and "realistic" visuals. This is an argument I didn't understand at the time, in a sea of brown shooters and gritty realism, this seemed like a breath of fresh air. Now despite never having a gamecube, I do remember the fervor that was caused when this game was shown to the public initially, and how cutesy cartoon Link was bad, and only realistic Link is good. I know some people are already trying to tell their computer, "no not the gamecube version, play the superior Wii-U version," but here we are. No, I'm not talking about Pac-Man World Rally, but rather The Wind Waker. The reason I bought this lot in particular, was because it had a little known game that I always wanted to play.
It wasn't until I decided to embrace this awful existence as a fan of video games, that I decided to buy a lot on ebay which came with a few games that I got my first taste with the system. I didn't grow up with a Gamecube, I never owned one in College or beyond. I don't know whether starting with a disclaimer is a bad omen or not, but here we go. This is an ongoing list where I attempt to do the following: Play, Complete, and Rank every video game in the known universe in order to finally answer the age old question "What is the greatest game of all time?"
