      When you first start using the boat in WW - for me, that's marked as one of the most exciting gaming moments ever. The open horizons, the complete freedom, the promise of distant lands... it felt truly giddying. I was beaming for days when I reached that point in my adventure.

      Looking back, that was the best aspect of the game by far. The promise of discovery.

      The 'discoveries' themselves were arguably not up to much. When I found that there wasn't a lot to discover out on the horizon, the excitement went. Because of this, the game felt to me as though it had a hollow centre.
      And so much initial promise! Oh, but for a year's more development time!
      /cries...





      ^^^ DON'T read that if you're still playing the game, you hear me?

        One of my favourite cube games tbh. There was more heart and love in this game than almost any game I can think of.

          Did the same for me, especially when the seagulls used to follow me

          I'm another who has yet to finish this. Got it at JPN launch and made a decent amount of progress then got stuck. I'll return to it one day...

                No? What's the point, if it's completely the wrong direction then you can't get there unless you cruise which will take a very long time.

                Next stupid question?

                  Well I am glad I have cracked it open now... when my single player adventures are quiet and all the recent big titles have had there fill. I fully intend to finish this before the new Zelda, which really sparked this need to play WW. Am delighted that I have it all ahead of me... every little detail is gonna bring joy to my experince of it.

                    Cussed out by Nintendo Fan boy >_<

                    After all that time on the water (and that's the games main failing imo) I decided to try tacking into the wind you see, oh you don't? Never mind then...

                      This game is undoubtley superb... i do have the sudden urge to play it again now.

                      My gamecube has seen alot of attention, i am going through alot of old beauts ive neglected, paper mario 2 is in my machine at the mo, pikmin 2 was 100%'d last week and im slowly going through the twin snakes... but yeah, Wind Waker again before the release of the new Zelda.

                      The only problem i had with wind waker was that i had downloaded about 100mbs worth of video before it came out, which ruined alot of it, i wont be doing that for the new zelda, so far i've only seen the e3 2004 trailer..

                          I remember getting stuck at this. It was supposed to be inside the waterfall on one of the islands, but it took a bit of wondering around aimlessly for it to appear.

                            I wish it was easy for Nintendo to redo Majoras Mask or OOT in WindWaker cartoon loveliness, I really wanna play another game like it but I can't think of one.

                            I hope they do the next Mario cel-shaded, thatd be mega.

                              Paper Mario is the closest you'll get to that.

                              Regarding WW, it is a lovely game, and one that people will look back to with fondness in years to come. Like a lot of Nintendo's recent stuff, people bitch about trivial little things at first but come to appreciate it in retrospect.

                              The game has the best use of cel shading I've ever seen, particularly when the realisation dawns that you're actually playing a cartoon.

                              Unfortunately, I never finished WW and probably never will. Why? The sailing/triforce collection bit. It's a pretty big ointment-spoiling fly that's seen off a lot of players. It's sad to see such a beautiful game disfigured in such a way, it really is.

                                Mardigan8, you're going to cream yourself (if you haven't already) when you get to Dragon Roost Island.

                                I'll not build it up too much Enjoy.
