    Just like most nintendo games don't need you to read the manual, in that they tell you about the game as you play.... the same goes for the endings.. you PLAY the endings.

    I found the endings of TooT and TWW to be fantastic. In TooT, the escape from the tower was part of the ending. It was exciting...

    In TWW, the scene with Gannondorf before the final battle was amazing. There's more to Gannondorf than just a typical "bad guy". His silhouette sitting on the end of Tetra's bed as she slept.. what an AWESOME image. In that particular game, the complete lack of music at that bit just made it all the more striking. Then we had the final battle and, when you finally demonstrate extreme OWNAGE who can possible fail to twinge when Link finally "nails" Gannondorf.

    Finally, he sets off to sea, leaving his Grandma behind, he's grown now. There's no going back. The wind fills the sails and he sets off. The way the camera comes down with the wind to fill the sails was genius. imho.

    Few people do endings like Nintendo. Metroid endings have always traditionally been a bit stark. There's not much to say. She's finished... although I do wish they'd shown the 100% ending by default... because that ending makes you take notice!!

    I much prefer an exciting and enjoyable playable end sequence to an overlong end cut scene.

      Indeed. The actual endings may be a little poor, but the final challenge you play through have always been beautiful. In this respect, WW actually comes out top compared to the other Zeldas.

          The fish was insane, but didn't you like the bit when he turned into a Spider and you had to look at his reflection in the water so you could see where to run to? That was so clever...

            Are you lot seriously saying that the ending to FZero isn't one of the best ever?! I agree that most Nintendo titles end weekly but, man, are you left with some memories! Anyway back to FZero...personally I love the way they remain true to this title..."Thanks for Playing"

              Actually, I was talking about the very last bit. You know, that one. The best bit in the game. Yeah, that's it.

              And seeing as it almost counts as a Nintendo game, Viewtiful Joe managed to leave it open for a sequel, yet be completely satisfying. Got to love those movie poster mock-ups, the music, and the montage of all the characters in the game...
