The graphics was grand but it could have been more. I loved it so much I got the original game ( despite the lack of fonts ).

I love pirate Ganon ( which is simular to pirate Willy MMLegends ).
Then they killed that, when it became clear, Ganon was Oriental and hated Cletics ( or some negative nonsense like that ). They just made him another mad Arabic Sinbad type character. Where the final battle scene was more or less the same exact fight scene from OOT. Then we get a boring generic bubble ending. Ganon did not envy Hyrule. Ganon wanted to rule the world, with the Triforce, and nothing more. What kind of logic is that, man from the desert, born into a amazon tribe seeks to rule grass land with black magic

Zelda 64 was the best, and they made logic sense of everything without damaging the world. From there it was downhill into oblivion.
Then to ruin this game Nintendo changed the desert shield to golden sheild. ooooohhheee gooldddd and it has the triforce on it. They added green blood. Turn it into a halloween special.

Don't even get me started on that creepy doll fairy, holding itself in it's hand.

Post by: HercTNT on August 28, 2012, 05:13:55 PM: i am in between. the graphics were very good, however i felt that the game was not very zelda like. keep in mind i grew up on the original and beat it every way possible. its not that i think that windwaker is a bad game, its just that i have a hard time identifing with it as much as the younger generation.

BTW Nando awesome thread. Mighty fine textures indead. I believe 10 years old now.

( Captain N Link )... I just wished they gave him, his orange brown tights, and brownish orange hair, instead they made him stark blonde, It seems like every Nintendo character has gotten blonder, and blonder over the year. They even took away his trade mark nose.

It's a truly pretty game, from what little i have seen and played and MAN yes those textures are awesome. On the PS2 side I think Square took the cake on that one with FFX, their textures made those low res polys really standout. Anyway, always gotta give it to Nintendo for their high production values on their titles.

I hope that as my kiddos get older I'll have more time to play RPG's again ;)

Post by: futureman2000 on August 30, 2012, 06:10:24 AM: I liked the art style, they really nailed it. The thing I didn't like was the randomly (seemingly?) generated dungeons that you would find on your boat. I guess most of the boat stuff felt like filler to me. But aside from that, it was badass.

It would take me years before being able to finish a RPG today. lol, as for the sketchbook, I know I created one years ago, but that account probably got deleted. I don't even know where my 3D stuff is at anymore. Do you have one?
