Wind Waker has gone from Zelda's whipping boy to a fan favorite. Here's a look back at how the public opinion of Wind Waker has changed over the years.
Relive the golden age of gaming with these timeless video games. From Wind Waker to Monkey Island, get ready for a nostalgia-filled ride.
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.
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!
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!
I never bought a Gamecube, I've always had an urge to play this game, maybe it'll get a remaster in the future.
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.
Major 2023 game anniversaries include The World Ends With You, Mario Kart Wii, and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, among many others
20 years later, The Wind Waker’s Ganondorf is still The Legend of Zelda’s best villain.
I love Wind Waker. These are some of the best graphics and one of the most unique art styles ever in any form of media. I have yet to see toonshading used like this in any other game. This was a style of cellshading that just took my breath away. I would really love to play something epic done with toonshading in true HD.
I greatly enjoyed Wind Waker. I enjoyed the more open world gameplay and the freedom to explore.
Loved the Wind Waker. Definitely one of my favorite Zelda games. Happy to say I was one of the supporters of its controversial art style pre-launch.
Much better than the formulaic non-innovating, Ocarina-lite follow-up called Twilight Princes
My favourite Zelda and the only one I completed lol! My mates thought it looked gay at the time but I think it had an amazing look and I just loved the travelling in the boat discovering new islands and fishing for treasure.
its sad nintendo will never make a game as good as ww again...
bring me back to 2003. im in the same room i was in when i beat it... ohhhhhh the memories
