| | Customer Reviews: Why the cartoonish graphics! (11 July 2010)I had loved the Zelda series, but was dismayed when I saw Wind Waker. The cartoonish graphics look childish and amateurish. I nonetheless decided to rent the game and give it a shot. However, I gave up after a half hour or so. It just wasn't fun and wasn't worth my time. Purchased for daughter, she loves Zelda (13 March 2010)Product arrived quickly and in good condition. Daughter loves Zelda and this was a game before her time but we were still able to find it. Satisfied Customer (31 December 2009)This is a game only to be played for a small amount of time. This is a great game for children. DO NOT overplay this game. The Legend of Zelda has a great story base. The quality is a bit laggish and old. I've played this game everyday after school for almost 90 days. I would give this game a 4 star rating. Fun for All Ages (30 November 2009)I'm a long time Zelda fan who currently and has played every Zelda Game made (Yes, that nerdy). I enjoyed playing this as much as I enjoyed watching others play it. Link becomes more expressive with the cell shaded graphics, I don't feel at all that it was in any way a downfall, every series needs to try new things. The dungeons in the game were not hair rippingly hard, but not easy enough to let you finish a dungeon in 5 minutes, they still required thinking but not the use of a strategy guide or online walkthrough. I also enjoyed the fact that the first thing shoved in your face was not "Save Zelda" or "Save Hyrule" in fact, your not even referred to as a hero until you finish the Dragon Roost Caverns. The only downfall was the sailing earlier in the game, it became more bearable after you gain the ability to use tornados to warp. All in all if your looking for something to keep your kids entertained or a game that you can play without worrying about spending an extended amount of time on a dungeon, I highly recommend WindWaker. Very rich in personality and theme (08 October 2009)In this review, I will concentrate only on my good impressions. One of the first things that come to mind when I think of this game is its cultural Japanese theme. You can see the influence everywhere, from the many kimonos (even Ganondorf wears a particularly awesome one), the way the characters bow as expressions of thanks or greeting, and many of the names are Japanese. The tiny enemy outposts on the sea are shaped like Shinto shrines. The King of Red Lion's face looks like an Oriental dragon's. There are even references to gods-- there are two wind gods, for example, who are shaped like frogs who ride on clouds-- and there are two temples. The level of design is masterful. Even the sailing itself isn't entirely dull... there are enemies to watch out for, treasure to uproot, the waves change shape and color, and the sky changes color from day to night. There are tons of sidequests, and the enemies are smart and will follow you relentlessly. The music is epic and relaxing at some points, and merry at others. The bosses are not hard, but the fun makes up for it. |
