Title: Wind Waker
Post by: kockyko on February 22, 2005, 05:38:29 PM
This game the Wind Waker is very fun when you get to kill the mice.

Are those the mice with the bombs for tails (I think they were called Bombchus)? Yeah those were pretty funny to blow up.  8)

I think there are some without bombs (the ones that steal rupees).  Ha ha, I remember my first time playing Majora's mask at a friend's house; I sniped a bombchu with an arrow, first shot- BOOM!

That game was fun, but too short.
Oh and this is the same Marin, who is a boy!

I thought the best thing about WW was the art. If any game's visuals could be called Impressionistic, then WW deserves that title. The whole visual aspect of the game served not only to strengthen the childlike qualities of the character, but to draw the player in. No matter how powerfull and visualy stunning the graphics of the next zelda are, there will still be quirks. Things that make no sence and don't jive with the nature of a game. Picking up hearts will seem very strange in such a realistic world. Not to mention, any imperfection in animation or polygon clipping will also serve to break down the visual awe of the game, jarring the player and reminding them of the inperfections of a representational world. WW neatly sidesteped this problem by putting the player squarely in its own world veiw. Nothing seemed odd, or out of place because when compared to the rest of the world it made sence. When compared to the real world it was like swiming in a Van Gogh, but of course that was the point... :)

I really didn't care for the art....Except the Rito dudes looked wicked....I didn't really care for the actual game they killed out the greatest races in the whole game...

I believe I read somewhere that Eiji Aonuma (the head Zelda guy now) intended the art to reflect Link's youth and thus outlook on the world. Makes sense that way.

Well, yeah, but I till prefered the more realistic version....Guess I'm a major OoT fan.

The mice were't really all that fun.  I prefer the Knights.

Knights were fun...I struck fear into their ugly doggy critter hearts....Mhawhahahahahahaha... ;D

I really like WW, more then OofT and MM. I liked the artwork as it was a nice change of pace. I have only two problems with the game. First and foremost, it was too easy. The dungeons were not tricky at all and when you go to the boss there were tons of pots all over that gave hearts so you could keep replenshing your health. The other problem I saw was there was too much sailing involved. Even when you could warp, there was alot of sailing that got old fast. Still I think it is a great game.
Title: Re:Wind Waker
Post by: Darth Wyndisis on May 21, 2005, 09:08:04 PM
The setup was cool with all the islands, but yeah, sailing was a waste of time.  It should have been like you go to a map, pick an island, and BOOM! you're there.  The game would have been the best game ever if you could decapitate Tingle.

tingle gave my friends little brother nightmares

Ok I will agree Tingle was annoying and I wanted to shot him in the face...but giving someone nightmares  :-\ that is definatly a new one.
Title: Re:Wind Waker
Post by: Crambert on May 31, 2005, 08:17:47 AM
I have to agree with you on this one, he was so annoying and he took too much money from you when he was deciphering the triforce charts, i just wanted to destroy him and get my money back.
Title: Re:Wind Waker
Post by: zeldafreak1997 on June 05, 2005, 03:12:53 PM
i think the fact that he was having nightmares is because he was thiry five and acted like peter pan... :P
Title: Re:Wind Waker
Post by: Cyclos on June 18, 2005, 01:23:37 AM
Yeah, make a Tingle Cannon.  Shoot him all the way to Fire Mountain where he will burn up into cinders and the birds will poop on his ashes.

What bothered me most about Tingle is how he and his brothers shanghaied David Jr. and forced the poor guy to dress up as/look like them and work at the giant Tingle outpost all day long. Monsters!

Nah, that is WAY to mild. My suggestion is that we burn his body with hot iron.

I still love how Nintendo's Japanese masters were shocked that non-Japanese people hated Tingle.

Culture shock like whoa.

lmao i have no clue how they could like him...
Title: Re:Wind Waker
Post by: Cyclos on July 08, 2005, 09:42:33 AM
Mild?  HA!

Tie him up, and rip off his fingernails one by one.  Do the same to his toenails.  Smash his fingers and toes with a hammer.  Staple his mouth shut.  Connect his eyelids to the bottom of the eye with safety pins.  Then, slowly cut off his arms and legs with a hacksaw.  Follow through with a thorough burning.  Too mild?

Eh. Tingle is weird. In MM, he's absolutly hidious! I looked at him, and I nearly screamed! In The WW, he's not that bad looking. (My friend said he's cute and I said she's absolutly insane! That thing (I can't respectfuly call him a person, or fairy, or whatever he says he is) is ugly!!!) And he's in too many games. I have 4 games (OoT, MM, WW, and MC) and he's in three of them!!(MM, WW, and MC) Oh, boy!! If he's in the new game, the Twilight Princess, I will scream very noisily, grab the jack-hammer, start smashing the game into 1,000,000,000 teeny, tiny pieces, set all the teeny, tiny pieces on fire right after pouring gasiline on them, get the fire extinguisher, put out the fire,sweep up the teeny, tiny pieces,(or should I say ashes!) throw them into the garbage, and feel sorry about it later. That is what I'd do. Oh, and,

If Tingle was a real person, I'd slit his throat and get it over with immediately. Who knows what sort of disturbing sounds he'd make in the course of his torture.. I shudder to think.

We're not really off topic [Tingle's in the Wind Waker and we are just stating how much we want to strangle him.]

But anyways, this is a very good game, but finding the Triforce shards and paying Tingle 398 rupees just so I can read a map drove me nuts!! I enjoyed taking pictures with the camera and playing with that giant black pig on Outset Island. He dug out a piece of heart once!!
Title: Re:Wind Waker
Post by: bgrugby on July 29, 2005, 09:44:28 PM
Trust me talking back and forth about pouring hot wax on Tingle is off topic, even though I would like to  ;D. Anyways as I mentioned WW is a great game, to me better then OofT and MM but the one thing that drove me nuts in all the sailing, and even with warping ability it is still a pain in the arse. But it was nice to have the cartoonish version of Zelda as a change of pace.

You really need to find your way to NC and join the BotU-clan (BotU=Brotherhood of the Underworld). ;D

Erm, anyway, about TWW... it's a really good game, just not at the level with the rest. Except FS and FSA. It beats those, in my opinion. In my opinion, it also beats MM.

I've never played FS/FSA, don't I don't have an opinion for those, but MM is hard to me and I think it ties with TWW.

dont think MM got very much good response when it came out did it?

anyways, WW is fun, and tingle can go fall down a hole for all i care.  the only thing ww lacks, is the opportunity to explore hyrule, too bad we cant go back and look around.

I think Wind Waker was awesome. The one thing I really missed was Epona, but I guess she wouldn't have fit in the boat. :( Tingle was annoying, but I dealt with him. He was a bit amusing, in a weird sort of way.

What I had the most fun with, for some reason, was the Savage Labrynth. I must have gone through that thing over 10 times...awesome stuff.

Somehow, it was a nice stress reliever for me. If I was mad at someone, I'd just go hack some enemies in the Savage Labyrinth...fun times.
Title: Re:Wind Waker
Post by: Jack on November 17, 2005, 02:35:15 PM
How great would it have been if the Savage Labyrinth had an extra gigantic number of levels, each more difficult than the last, unlockable after the fiftieth. It'd be a great challenge of skill to see how far you could get.

i say we post him to a board and whip him with a horse whip; put salt water in his wounds, then set him and his post aflame!

Ganny-poo isn't supposed to go through torture anyway. He's my loyal servant, and anyone who touches him shall go through what Sparklie_fairy said. :P

Tingle, however, deserves whatever comes in his way. As long as it has something to do with 'tremendous pain'.>:]
