Wind Waker is done. All I can say, wow. Much better than expected.
I had always discounted this game because of the different art style and chalked it up as a more “childish” Zelda title. It took some time to adjust to the sailing mechanics but they were fluid. The dungeons felt well paced and well thought out.
PROS:
All items felt useful and purposeful. There was a fair amount of open exploration. Very fluid controls. Story was good (better than expected). Bosses were creative and fun. Zelda had a roll of importance and not just the damsel.
CONS:
Ganon fight was fun but was hoping for more use of the swords. The graphics on the GameCube didn’t look great, even for it’s time. Paying for charts to be deciphered was a pain.
All in all, this was a great game and now I have only 3 more console Zelda’s to play. This was super good but not quite the top of the list for me.
As for my next game, I may add a new one to my backlog!
Kingdom Hearts has plagued me for years
