Why Wind Waker is My Favorite Zelda

Pretendo: "I know, A Link to the Past is still a classic and a masterpiece. There’s no doubt that Ocarina of Time revolutionized the series and created many gaming standards we still use today. Obviously, Majora’s Mask was the darkest Zelda. Twilight Princess was a solid entry with the more “mature” look to it; and Skyward Sword’s motion controls put me in a new level of immersion. But of all the Zelda games, I put Wind Waker above the rest."

Wind Waker is amazing and I can definitely see why people can call it their favorite.

Wind Waker might be my favorite it's that or Ocarina, they are both just fantastic games, it's hard for me to choose.

No doubt, Wind Waker would be my first choice! the game is just amazing!! :o even without the new remake!

It's just different for a LoZ game. The Freedom of just exploring at your own pace during parts of the game and discovering new things + an amazing OST.

Link to the past then wind waker for me.
I just love the alternate world thing. Loved it in Castlevania:SotN too.

I know that it was just a way to extend the game while saving memory/disc space or whatever, pallet switching, but it still made that game that much more fun to see the whole world in a different aspect.

I love Cell-shaded graphics and bought wind waker on day 1. Some of the long ship rides got boring while searching but beyond that it was a fun game and the animation were enjoyable in their cute nature.

That said I'd like to see a Wii-u Zelda with a mature tone to Links appearance.

I'd put Street Fighter 2 over 3. 2 and all its different versions dominated the arcade scene back in the day in a way that 3 never did.

Abear21545d ago

Agreed, Same with Metal Gear Solid imo. Came for Bioshock and was not disappointed. Would easily put Burger Time or Space Taxi over tempest. Also, OG Sim City and Oregon Trail. Mario 64 as well. Just too many!

Never played it I gotta get on this one

Double_O_Revan545d ago

Me too. I didn't have a GC until way later and never played it. I've been waiting on Nintendo to release the HD edition on the Switch for forever, but they just won't!

FinalFantasyFanatic544d ago

I never bought a Gamecube, I've always had an urge to play this game, maybe it'll get a remaster in the future.

LoveSpuds544d ago

I played it on WiiU for the first time and it remains my fave Zelda game to date. So much character and a real sense of exploration without the open world bloat.

Ms Pacman?
Robotron?
SSF2 Turbo over 3 simply by the 10000000000's ports of the game we're still having
Castlevania SOTN?
Zelda Link to the Past over Wind Waker
Super Mario Bros 3?
Chrono Trigger?
Resident evil4?
COD MW2 (the original)?
Uncharted 2
Metal Gear Solid?

Here's my reasoning for all of them versus the list proposed in the article.
They are still quite enjoyable from start to finish on their original platform, unlike some Wind Waker or Okami that are fun when you play the remastered version (unless you call: forced to watch a 20-minute cutscene or have to blow for wind chance constantly fun).
Some of them are the pinnacle of what the console could do (MGS, Chrono, MGS)
Lots of them are still considered the go-to-go game for their genre.

Said it before but Heart of Darkness is truly a timeless gem.
