I still love this game. Who'd have guessed? I am revisiting every map square before I do the Earth temple. Is that weird to you? I don't care. I love the great sea. I'll probably revisit them all again before the Ganon fight. I'm not sure that I'll get every treasure map, or every heart piece, and I'm not going to do the gallery or the hidden statues... but I'm exploring this world by myself and enjoying it just as much as I did a decade ago. But I've got four bottles full of blue potion. I've got a sweet cabana decorated with Pinwheels. I've got hero flags over the entrance archway on Windfall. I put postman statues in the rich guys house just to be a dick, even though they were really expensive.

I'd long maintained that Wind Waker was the best Zelda. Well, it's not.

But Wind Waker HD is.

Wind Waker has by far my favourite set of trading quests in the series. The flags and flowers and statues are all silly and worthless, but I love their variety and how they manage to visually transform WIndfall island.

I put the creepy skull ones in the potion shop. They fit the atmosphere so well.

My wife and I just finished playing this game together (and by together, I mean her going "well can you bomb that wall?" when I get hung up searching for a small key or something). We've similarly done Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword together. Her reaction after we finished up was "Really, that's it? It felt like there were more side-quests than real stuff." And we didn't even do most of the side stuff. We never completed the trading thing for the decorations (I didn't realize there was more to it after you get the sea flower, I guess I wasn't paying attention), only got about 2 hearts into the second row, pretty much a basic run through. I thought it was a pretty amusing yet apt description from someone who just likes to watch and offer suggestions (usually bad ones, as she's not a gamer so she doesn't know the 'vocabulary' of Japanese videogame puzzle solving).

My reaction after the credits was, "That final boss fight was complete anus."

My daughter, who is three, has from birth been with a Daddy who works with and in his free time enjoys videogames and the latest consumer electronics.

Before she was even one year of age she learnt how to use an iphone/pad and happily swiped through photo albums and very shortly after understood how to stream her favourite TV shows. I watched these developments with wonderment and complete awe, it certainly wasn't forced, she just naturally developed to understand these systems and derived pleasure from them.

So she's competent at a basic level with modern consumer electronics and I then announce to her we're getting a new videogame on the Wii U called the Legend of Zelda, Wind Waker HD edition. She takes it in but is generally meh. It arrives and we draw the curtains, mums gone to work, I give it a bit of fan fare, crank up the surround sound and with the intro.... ZAP - she's in. I'm sure its this visual 1080p fidelity - even at a very early age she preferred HD cartoons to old skool SD ones. This game has absolutely captured her imagination, maybe a factor with this is her Dads enthusiasm but whatever she's absolutely glued to it.

So we play through the first few chapters, I've never seen her concentrate for so long, she's prompting on strategy and whooping and hollering with every next challenge. Then my phone rings and I'm called away only to come back and there she is, self teaching dual analogue controls, meandering around Windfall Island. Well I was as proud as punch, emotional even about her new found skill.

The next day I come home from work and she greets me with her ever joyous manner and asks if we're going to play Zelda. I agree, quickly get changed and then we continue our quest to find our sister. I get sidetracked by neogaf as she wonders around Outset Island, I then and come back in and take the Gamepad, I get on the boat and she starts crying, I immediately put the pad down and comfort here and ask her why shes upset....

She replies, with tears streaming down her face that the grandmother was all alone in her house and just wanted her and her sister to not leave outset island - she then, serious as hell, looks at me eye to eye and says "You must find our sister", I hug her and say "We'll find her.....together"

And so the adventure continues.

I was going to make an entire topic out of this, but don't really have enough time to do it justice. Anyway, I'm pretty sure that one of the dungeons cut from wind waker and put into TP must have been the Temple of Time, and that it was in a fairly advanced state.

It's the dungeon you get the dominion rod in, which is so obviously missing from this game for the reasons you just mentioned.

It would fit in perfectly with the sunken hyrule, and seems to be kind of thrown into twilight princess. The dominion rod is even less utilized than the spinner in that game, and the temple of time is put in a random spot that is absolutely not congruent with Ocarina, whereas they actually modeled a huge area of undersea hyrule, but ended up with a straight corridor to Gannon's Tower.

Then there's this guy, who looks much more like he belongs in Wind Waker than TP.

This actually makes sense.

Weird, I always loved the final fight. It really felt like a proper duel to me.

Yeah I think the final fight is one of the best in gaming.

Zelda almost always nails the last boss battle in general and I'm glad the last several console ones have been badass duels.

So finally started this game on weekend and did the first dungeon and god damn it. Nintendo is so god damn incompetent.

WHY can't I invert the camera controls up and down... Instead they give an option of inverting left/right wtf. Making this game a lot more frustrating for me when it should be fun.

oh and those HD GRAPHICS sooo good.gif

 

[BorkBork]

My reaction after the credits was, "That final boss fight was complete anus."

Wha? I loved how diverse the final confrontation was. Four iterations including the puppet, clever fight with the water reflection, demands good arrowing skills, and then Ganon is a pretty threatening boss all the way through.

No. Most of the changes simply make the game a smoother and more flowing experience.

The big change is that some of the chests that contained Triforce Charts now contain the Triforce pieces resulting in only three charts to decipher.

Playing this game between Pokémon. So fucking good. The bloom is ugly but the art style of Wind Waker in HD puts me in awe. Loving playing with the Pro controller (got it just for this game).

Well you know that he stayed on that island after the second dungeon and you even watched a cutscene where he played the fiddle. I'd say the game gave a pretty big hint their, even more than they gave with Medli who didn't play her harp when you first saw her.

And if you noticed the details in the second dungeon you would have noticed the Kokiri Emblem painted on surfaces and one of the Koroks tells you that was their old home. So you can put two and two together and realise that the Koroks are the decedents of a Kokiri.

I have a stylus and I have a map. Why for the love of everything can I not take notes in this game. Come on Nintendo!

 

[plagiarize]

I'm some 37 hours in, and I'm midway through the earth temple. I have decided to complete the Nintendo collection, because the end feels too near already. 15 heart pieces and 40 treasures and treasure maps hauled up, so far. I've never come close to 100% a Zelda game.

Between the figures I already have (I think I have all the missable ones) and the bottles providing figures as well as taking photos myself... I think I'm already more than half way there.

 

[BGBW]

I have a stylus and I have a map. Why for the love of everything can I not take notes in this game. Come on Nintendo!

I agree. Such a great feature in PH/ST. It doesn't have to be used for puzzles like the DS games were but being able to note an island which requires an item would be useful because otherwise it only encourages exploration after you've beaten all the islands.

Also being able to mark off submarines and platforms you've already visited. I basically went from one corner of the map and made my way zigzagging to the top taking on each platform so I knew I had visited them all once whereas I should have really tackled each one as I came across them the first time.

I'm some 37 hours in, and I'm midway through the earth temple. I have decided to complete the Nintendo collection, because the end feels too near already. 15 heart pieces and 40 treasures and treasure maps hauled up, so far. I've never come close to 100% a Zelda game.

Between the figures I already have (I think I have all the missable ones) and the bottles providing figures as well as taking photos myself... I think I'm already more than half way there.

Just a tip, the mini boss in the next temple is unique so make sure you get its photo.
