Yes, having too many dungeons would be overkill, and yes, having too few isn't very good, either...

And never did I say WW was perfect, but it's close...Just a few more dungeons, a couple more sidequests, and it will be...

Smashman · « **Reply #201 on:** March 05, 2004, 01:18:56 AM »

I think OOT and LTTP are both PERFECT (especially OOT, IMHO). WW was far from perfect to me, because of its obvious flaws. Excellent game, however.

It would be a perfect game when theres more dungeons and side quest but what about the OoT and MM
there should be a connection in the next Sequal about them.

It would be the Perfect game

if any of you disagree then it would be Perfect with just more dungeons and side quest without the connection

oh Reginold..... I DISAGREE!

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #204 on:** March 20, 2004, 04:58:42 AM »

Considering the fact that WW takes place 1000 years after OoT/MM(or 100, depending on which theory you follow), I doubt there will be any connection besides little nostalgic things that make hardcore Zelda fans like me squeal in delight...This next game is the direct sequel of WW and the story will follow such...

Just get rid of that damned ocean and that damned boat. They just didn't fit with the Zelda series. More dungeons, and more time and effort, which I hope will make up for WW.

ghostVi · « **Reply #207 on:** March 25, 2004, 08:41:18 AM »

WW is 100 years after OoT, clearly stated in WW, I'm currently replaying it... for a reason

Again

It's a great entry in the Zelda universe, go and get it if you still don't own it already.

ps: the ocean is hilarious

evil intentions · « **Reply #208 on:** March 30, 2004, 02:33:30 PM »

I didn't mind the ocean.

Shoot me if I'm wrong but, aren't you going a little bit overboard there, Smashman?

odifiend · « **Reply #209 on:** March 30, 2004, 04:35:18 PM »

^ was that a pun on the ocean? lol. overboard!

slacker · « **Reply #210 on:** March 30, 2004, 06:30:23 PM »

Was Zelda: WW a let down? In one word, No. Could it have been better? Yes, by a long shot. The ocean was probably the most boring and tedious part. Sailing is just so boring because you rarely fight as you head to your destination. Also, the enemy AI needed much improvement. I rarely had to use the parrying system because the enemy were so stupid. I had to entertain myself by fighting recklessly. However, the area that could use improvement was that there was a lack of dungeons. I rate this as one of the worst Zeldas, but with that said, it is a good game that beats most other games out there.

I didn't even notice that!

I'm just so clever that I can write things without realizing it.

I don't think this is one of the worst Zeldas but i think it isnt one of the best either. I agree that it is better than most games out there. Just because a diamond is flawed it is still better than a zirconia.

Smashman · « **Reply #213 on:** April 02, 2004, 01:12:07 AM »

I agree completely with slacker. This IS one of the best games of all-time. Just that wonderful feeling I get while playing is unmatched by any other game (even OOT), even though I PREFER OOT...

evil intentions · « **Reply #214 on:** April 02, 2004, 06:35:50 PM »

I think WW was one of the best games. I have only played three of them all together, but out of those three I think WW is the best. I've never even heard of the other Zelda games you guys sometimes talk about. Must have been before I was old enough to play a video game, or before I was even born. I especially like WWs graphics. I hope they make it like this next game.

Smashman · « **Reply #215 on:** April 13, 2004, 07:58:23 AM »

I mean c'mon. Everywhere else I go (ZU, GameFAQs), OOT is hailed as the greatest game of all-time, and easily better than the critically considered disappointment Wind Waker.

Sometimes I think you guys are just biased towards GC...

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #216 on:** April 13, 2004, 11:13:24 AM »

"Everywhere else I go (ZU, GameFAQs)"

LOL! GameFAQs is the place to go for videogame vets!

I'm biased towards the better and more enveloping game...And guess what? A lot of people say Halo is the best game of all time...Does that mean anything? No...

On the otherhand, YOU are the one who criticizes every minute detail of WW, so don't be so hypocritical, please...

So we have some new type of sub-fanboy, eh? One that not only is biased towards a company, but a specific console as well? Why would Bill love the Gamecube at hate the N64? It doesn't make any sense! I agree that OoT is easily the better game of the two, but console biasedness is not the reason others disagree.

I like that plug at the end MC.

Honestly guys Degustibus Non est Disputandem
Smashman you'll never convince Bill that he should like OoT better and vice versa. Let this thread die already.

Smashman · « **Reply #219 on:** April 13, 2004, 02:04:33 PM »

Well, I am just saying -EVERYWHERE- else I go people say they like OoT much more, and consider WW to be a disappointment, except here... I mean I love Nintendo, no matter what, and GC is my second favorite console of theirs, but I like to rate games fairly no matter what system they may be on. But, as the above poster put, just let this topic die already...

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #220 on:** April 13, 2004, 03:36:35 PM »

You're the one who bumped it up in the first place...

And my role in this topic was to hold my opinion and to protect Wind Waker, not to force you guys to like it more than OoT...

mouse_clicker · « **Reply #221 on:** April 13, 2004, 05:08:12 PM »

Smashman: Just because everyone else thinks OoT is better doesn't mean it IS better. A game's quality is entirely subjective, meaning you can't definitively say one game is better than another. Obviously debating the good and bad points of two games is great, but using the excuse "everyone else disagrees" won't get you anywhere.

Link_Up · « **Reply #222 on:** April 14, 2004, 12:44:57 AM »

I agree with Bill. 8 Dungeons as a max, and 3 "training"-dungeons.
They should be as big as those of Oot and MM, but with the detail of WW.
Not too many items either, though more empty bottles are always welcome. Lots of land, and just lake Hylia wich you have to cross with a boat to get to the desert (and the Spirit Temple, that HAS to be in the next Zelda). You should start with Epona, or some other horse, and later you should get the choise to call a dragon as well. Pegasus boots should make a comeback, and just as mentioned before simply equip and charge up your sword to dash.

Smashman · « **Reply #223 on:** April 14, 2004, 11:49:26 AM »

I still think you aim too low. I say more like 13+.

evil intentions · « **Reply #224 on:** April 17, 2004, 08:42:33 AM »

Maybe you should grab a dictionary and look up the word "opinion", Smashman. You have obviously forgotton what the word means.
