Can someone tell me why this is? I played Windwaker and I thought it was a pretty cool game, but almost everyone else seems to think it sucked for some reason. 16bit.com is actually already knocking The Phantom Hourglass for the DS just because it features Windwaker-esque Link on the cover in a boat! Yeah, the sailing got a little tedious at times and yeah we could have done with the cartoony look, but it was a decent game. I liked the whole finding treasure at sea part of it and the bosses were cool and the collecting aspect with the camera and all the other neat little sub-game type things you could do. So why does it get such a bad rap?

As what two? Majora's Mask and Ocarina? I've only played about half of Ocarina, but...it doesn't seem to be the exact same game. You get minus 70 points for a dumb answer.

I don't know what bizarro internet you're on where people hate Windwaker, but if this game had AIDS, all the fuck-ass retarded Nintendo fanboys would still be fucking it.

Actually JEW has been previously quoted as hating all 3D Zelda games. I believe that's what he meant by Windwaker being the same thing.

I didn't enjoy it because it was too fucking easy. Hardly any gameplay and half of it was sailing around in that goddamn boat. The graphics were different but not terrible, the shading was great, but I just didn't like the gameplay.

Is it a bad game? Nah.

Was it worth the endless delays and hype that it received? Not especially.

The problem with the game was that it didn't live up to people's expectations. Even without the whole graphics debate, it just wasn't as good or in-depth as Ocarina. Heck, I think the game actually had less gameplay time than Majora's Mask.

the wind waker was a fantastic game.
Good story, a lot of fun side quests, sailing was fun (but I may be biased because i like the ocean), fun bosses, stunning graphics.

Although at times it did get a tad tedious (the triforce chart chart,triforce chart,triforce hunt), it had the least linear story line by far and for me,provided more fun then any of the n64 zeldas.

if you ask me,twilight princess paled in comparison to the wind waker.
a wolf? what the fuck?


I am a worthless piece of crap.

I think Twilight Princess might be my favorite 3-D zelda but it takes 2nd place to Adventures of Link for NES.

It was fun, as long as you don't compare it to the other 3D Zeldas.

I just think it's a shame how the game slows down every time you hit someone. I thought the gamecube could do simple hit calculations without freezing to a halt every second, but apparently not Confused

What's even worse is they couldn't even get Twilight Princess running smoothly. It has really bad framerate issues too, on both systems. The slowdown is understandable on the NGC because it's a next-gen game, but slowdown on the Wii, especially with the remote function, is unacceptable.

I don't think he was trying to call you an idiot or anything. I'm pretty sure he referred to it as a "dumb answer" because you've made your position on Zelda in 3D very clear before and he was looking for complaints from more holistic Zelda fans.

It was a dumb awnser. If you're going to bash something,you better come up with more coherent reasons then "it's just like the other ones" (paraphrasing).

what makes the graphics "annoying"?
how the fuck is it the "same game" as the n64 zeldas?

how about some logical reasoning behind your complaint?

It was a dumb answer because you're biased against 3D Zelda and I was asking for real reasons, not just "3D Zelda is teh suk lolzzors!1"

I'm sure it wouldn't matter, even if he explained himself as to why he didn't like it.

I mean, hell. If you assholes called me out to defend Halo, you'd still think my opinion was bullshit, right?

I can't speak for everyone, but personally I don't believe that strongly disagreeing with someone's opinion on a game invalidates their opinions on other games or reflects upon their character in any negative way. We all like different games for different reasons and hating someone because they love a game you hate or hate a game you love is pretty gay.

It's different in hearing someone's valid reasoning and still diagreeing. It's another thing entirely for someone to say "I hate such-and-such game...because I just do." It makes that person sound retarded.

you made good points about Halo, I disagreed, and it's cool. I'm not going to belabor the point because you brought up intelligent points.

"I hate Zelda because it's just like the others" is not only a complete lie (if he played the actual games he'd see they're nothing alike in any way shape or form other than they're both 3D), but it makes him sound ignorant. Ignorance does not a valid argument make.
