Topic: Maradon plays windwaker

Not the best Zelda game I've ever played, but not the worst.

The cute characters are very cute and I love them. The bad characters are almost universally laughable, with a few exceptions: Seahats are fucking terrifying, floor masters are VERY cool. Some of the bosses are ok. Gohma was very cool and - importantly - its design was fed by the thick outlines and cel shading, rather than hindered. Other bosses were meh, like Jalhalla, who was also extremely easy to beat.

Ganondorf looks like he's allergic to bee stings and is about to go into anaphylaxis.

After so long mocking and ridiculing this game, I honestly thought I'd play it and see right through the cartoon style and it'd be just like another Zelda. I'm not. It is a problem after all. There's no ambiance, no drama, and very little gravity to anything. It's like playing a saturday morning cartoon based on a Zelda game. My favorite part so far has been the Earth temple, and only because I'm now a Medli fanboy. Dat beak.

Doing sea charts and mini games right now before I finish the wind temple. The mini games are fucking awful RNG bullshit, but that's par for the course for a zelda title so I won't complain too much.

I got it free when I bought mario kart. I feel like I've managed to validate some unspoken personal oath by not paying for it

So... you finally got around to playing a remake of a game that you did little but slander when it first came out eleven years ago, and you decided you didn't like it?

I think this might make the front page of CNN!

TL,DR: Big surprise.

Don't get me wrong, I like it!

I found a copy of TwiPri a few days ago too, I'll play that after and decide which I prefer

I've tried playing the 3d Zelda games... really just couldn't get into them.

Link Between Worlds however.... complete awesome.

I always liked TwiPri, myself. I think it was a strong showing for the series.

Twilight Princess is my favourite Zelda since Link to the Past.

Twilight Princess Zelda is the hottest Zelda in the series.

The game also tends to get mixed reviews. I don't know, I thought it was alright.

I liked them both, but I have to say I liked Twilight Princess better because it had 100 percent more Hyrule. Yes, I know Hyrule was/is underwater in WW.

I think we can all agree on one thing, Hyrule Warriors is going to be bad fucking ass.

I really did not care about any Zelda games after a Link to the Past. I was totally excited for Ocarina of Time and bought it the on the first day only to drop it after a couple of hours thinking "eh, whatever".

If you were a LttP fan and have a 3DS.... Link Between Worlds is worth the grab.

Ok nintendo, I get releasing a SD console in an HD world, but why do you insist on cluttering the already claustrophobic screen with useless UI elements?

Skyward Sword had the "Beeping Lime-Slice of Doom," TwiPri has a buzzing fairy pointer that you can't turn off. I also can't seem to hide the giant button display on the right.

Man, TwiPri is awesome, but playing such an intricately detailed game in SD is agonizing.

I read that you can emulate these games in HD through Dolphin, but I can't seem to get my controller to pair.
