Wind Waker... Is it worth the time?

I recently bought Windwaker thinking it was going to be great even though Link looked lame (but I liked the cell-shaded graphics). The gameplay at first was cool but as I continued to play it the experience felt sort of dry even though there was a vast ocean to explore. I really expected this game to be awesome considering I liked all the other Zeldas. I don't know if its just me but I felt like it would be a waste of time to visit every island in the land of windwaker considering how huge the Map was.. I guess it just wasn't what I was used of in a Zelda game....

I keep wondering if Wind Waker gets better near the end?

I dont know if the game is worth the time to finish.

Yes. It is definitely worth it.skingus

Yes, it's worth the time. I can see where sailing in the ocean isn't that much fun, but the game is great. For me I liked it better than Twlight Princess, but that is just my opinion.

If you've played some Zelda games and like them, then yes it's definitely worth it.

Ya i've beat Majora's Mask, A Link to The Past, Link's Awakening, Ocarina of time and Twilight Princess.

Time to beat Wind Waker now.

why haven't you beat wind wake yet. :O

First time I played Wind Waker I got bored with it after about 4 or 5 hours of gameplay. A year later I went back and pushed myself a little bit further and ended up really enjoying it. Unfortunately I got fed up with the one of the final tasks that involved a lot of monotonous sailing. I think that's the problem with the game. It's fairly inconsistant. There are some absolutely fantastic stretches in the game, but there's also some really boring bits that you just have to bite down and force yourself to play through.

That being said, I loved the art style of the game. I still consider it to be one of the best looking games ever made.

for me it started out slow with the forsaken fortress, but when i got to the first dungeon things picked up. I'm replaying it right now, right now im doing the most tedious part of the game, where you have to find tons of rupees for tingle the fairy.

Definitely, do finish it. At first it's a bit iffy, but just keep going, you'll love it.

It's worth the time for sure, the end is fantastic. It gets really good as you keep playing!

Outside of too much sailing it's very good and doesn't always get the credit it deserves imo. For dull sailing parts though I had the controller in one hand and the remote in the other, flipping back and forth between TV and the game while keeping the controller pointed in the direction I wanted to go. That helped a little.
