Wind Faker
Baron Von Stupor
As with any other Zelda game, this does many things, including giving us complex dungeons to maneuver, giving us new treasures to have fun with while bringing back some oldies but goodies, and gave us a very involving plotline continuing the neverending story of the legend of Link, forever being overshadowed by the name of Zelda, a character whose playability is nonexistent, unless you count the ill-fated CD-i game(s). However, one thing was done that caused such an uproar that many decided to boycott the game. Link was turned into a big-headed, el-shaded cartoon character!!! Oh, no!!! ...AND HE'S STILL A KID!!! Come on, people! It's a freaking cartoon! So what? If I'm not mistaken, in The Legend of Zelda, the original on NES, I recall Link looking exectly like a booger carelessly flicked onto the screen by a roommate or family member, and when he swings his sword, that's just the radioactive enzymes reacting to the blood, but did that stop me or thousands upon thousands from liking it? Besides, there's no denying that the cel shading idea makes way for many, many possible facial impressions, adding to the realism of the character (as I dare not say game). Control: 10/10 As alsways, the control scheme couldn't be better. The addition of the counter is an interesting asset and adds to the depth of the fights. Sound: 10/10 Like I said, none of the Zelda games have a lot of music that truly grips my ears, but I not rating that. I'm rating the sound on how it suits the game, how it adds to the atmosphere of the game, and Wind Waker does an A+ job with that. Replay Value: 5/10 This has a lower reply value than Majora's Mask because after a long time, I did decide that I wanted to play the game again, but it's not hooking during my whimsical decision to play it, and I got hooked into another good game first. Gameplay: 7.5/10 The game has a good plot, the only real problem I have with it is that sailing over the ocean for god-awful amounts of time doesn't really feel adventurous to me. To me, an adventurous quest to a temple would be perilous, including running across a loarge field dealing with different kinds of enemies along the way, and such. Needless to say, like Majora's Mask. Ocarina of Time didn't offer as much adventurousness, in my opinion, as Majora's Mask. Overall: 8.125/10 The game is still wonderful, plain and simple. If you can get past the graphics (assuming you don't like them), this is still a masterpiece. I recommend it.
Linker Windfaker from the beginning struck a chord inside my heart. I was very upset to hear that after the many great adventures of Link, they turned him into a demented South Park character. Seriously, the graphics were fine, but why did they turn him into a gay kid again? No one likes the kid.....everyone wants a macho man! Why do you think the Zelda 2005 game will sell millions? 'Cause Link is hot! Wait...no...uhh...anyway... When I played the game, I found the music to be a little....well...bad. I mean, I felt like I was in Mexico. Don't wanna go back there. But anyway, as the game progressed, the controller was pissing me off. ARGH! Die Windfaker!!! The only good thing about the Windfaker was the fact that Link's moves were pretty hot. He had an enormous amount of abilities with the items he collected. I give that a 9 out of 10! Everything else was.....blah...I give it a 6 out of 10
keeper_of_the_triforce I thought the game was pretty good. The part of it I liked the most was the songs Link played, mostly the temple songs. The graphics weren't the most awesomest ever, but I've seen far, FAR worse. I'm more thankful the messed with just the graphics and not the storyline, hell-driven Zelda fans would be everywhere! Just think "It could have been worse." Overall: 7.9/10 |
