Official "Got my Zelda: Wind Waker" Thread

I just got it but hevent played yet, but u guys r makeing me excited

I got it, it\'s basically what I expected. Another AAA+ Nintendo offering that will get a lot of praise, but will have a lot of unfair critics.. most of them pissed off that Nintendo didn\'t totally overhaul the gameplay*.

* to make the game innovative *cough* sequel *cough*

Jumpman, to add to your agony, Wind Waker only cost me around $25.

Got it last night.  About 2 hours in.

My EBGames.com Fed Ex delivery arrived Tuesday morning.  I ripped into it first thing after getting home from work, ditto yesterday.  Ditto today.

The game is, to put it bluntly, frickin brilliant.  I just finished acquiring the third pearl, doing the dungeon just after that, and, um... revisiting an old haunt to acquire a truly rocking piece of equipment.

That sequence, which I will not describe in greater detail due to spoilers, is probably my favorite gaming moment right about now.

Hmm, what I\'m liking more is the level of exploring that will be involved... I guess there is a god.

My favorite part so far (I\'m about a half hour behind mejilan) is how the story relates to Ocarina.  If you\'ve played through Ocarina of Time, there really is a whole other level of depth to the storyline that I didn\'t expect.

At first I was a little put off by the slow town environments.  What I mean by that is how it takes a long time to see everything, yet nothing really seems to happen, at least in the first town.  But I only had that feeling once.  I\'m into the storyline and sacrificing valuable freetime for the game more often than I should be! ;]

^^ Great comic!

I finally got my copy. I watched "Capcom" play his until he was finished and I still have the urge to go through this game. I am simply amazed by it.

i need help, i just got the grappling hook and i made the box appear on the path under the birdge but i dont know how to get there.

whew, after a bit of delay I will pick up where I left off with the wind temple...

I officially put the game to bed today.  The game progresses nicely, right up to the very end.  I will say that I was very pleased with it, and like any good game, it leaves me wishing there was just one more level.

Of course, there\'s always starting over from scratch, but going through a learning curve is never any fun when you already know what the game is trying to teach you.  I can\'t usually sit through a Zelda game more than once...

I wanna buy a GC for this game.

go do it

The game was great, but I agree with Eiksirf another dungeon or 2 would not have hurt any.

As a side note this is the first zelda game I can remember that I did not purchase any magic or things of that sort. Heck I did not even bother with most of the sidequests. Not sure if I am just getting older, or if the sidequests were not all that.
