Topic: Beaten Game Impressions (SPOILERS!)

In case you missed the title ***SPOILERS***
---------------------------------------------------------

Just beat Wind Waker.  I must say, what an awesome game!  It was honestly the first time a Zelda game has made me REALLY think about what was going through the characters' heads.   When Ganondorf was expressing his feelings, I really started to slightly care for the man.  When the King of Hyrule spoke about hope, I found myself feeling sorry for him.  When I saw Hyrule and the king drown, I was moved.  

This game had it all:  great gameplay, good story, and real emotion.  Perfection.  I even liked the credits!  I feel a deep respect for ALL the people who created this masterpiece (not just Miyamoto).  I don't know if I'll be able to make through all the sidequests...there are just so many.  And that's a good thing.  Just great.

On a side note, if any of you read the Nintendo newsletter, what was the big surprise?  I didn't get a chance to see it, and I really couldn't think of what one picture would have spoiled.
