Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker review: GS 8.0; Eurogamer 10/10; IGN 9.8

Great score from a game that's 10 years old. My least favorite 3D Zelda game but it's still the best game from 2003.

KOTOR, Jedi Academy, Soul Calibur II, F-Zero GX, Rise of Nations, AOM: Titans, Crimson Skies, Rebel Strike, ESPN NFL Football (2K4), and CoD 1 all say hi.

I thought a 9.0 was by definition an Editor's Choice? Don't ever recall a 9.0 game that wasn't?locopatho

Didn't get a 10, I'm done with this site. I hope the reviewer gets a papercut.

its not about the difficulty... every game can be hard if you pump it to the hardest available difficulty. Nintendo Land is simplistic as hell, its like the game was made as a free download with a purchase of a controller or somethingsilversix_

KOTOR: Love it but the battle system is weak, the story is not as great as people make it out to be (great plot twist) and the game lacks polish compared to WW. Plus I disliked those random space battles.

Jedi Academy: haven't played it.

Soul Caliber II: Love it but WW and VJ were better games. Plus 2D fighters > 3D fighters.

F-Zero GX: fun and challenging but that's about it honestly.

COD1: Only played a little of it. Besides I have UO.

So WW wins by default with VJ and maybe KOTOR and POP: Sands of Time behind it.

Will Zelda ever score AAA again here? princeofshapeir

damn...this should have been aaa all the way

9.8 From IGN. Although it's hard to tell if the game is actually good or IGN just being IGN.

Nah, it's just IGN.

Deserved the "outstanding story", "sucks you in" and "great value" medals.

From playing WW and TP I would choose tp story over WW.

Flop, if it was truly timeless and great it would have scored the same as the GC version. Just goes to show how overrated it was back then :cool:campzor

You sir are a complete moron. The game is 10 years old, It can't be "WOW". Everyone already played it years ago like OOT. Ocarina of Time for the 3D is not a perfect 10, because its a 15 year old game that pretty much made open world games.

People seriously expected a re-release of a 10 year old game to get a higher score? The game itself is irrelavent, its a repackaged title that that doesn't add much new content (difficulty mode =/= new content), so its going to be judged lower then a new game that is a completey different experience. The straws some people grasp at...

No, but zelda games have not had 9 since PH.NationProtector

:lol::lol::lol::lol:

:cry:

I'm all about that Ganondorf figurine.

I never played the Gamecube version, so I'm looking forward to the game actually.

[QUOTE="silversix_"]ROFL most hyped game on wiiu is a 10y old remake that barely scored AA :lol:bbkkristian

Eurogamer gives it a 10/10? NO remake, Zelda or no, warrants such a score. MirkoS77

TLOU lost it's chance of winning GOTY on GS when it scored an 8.

Wind Waker is one of my all time favourite games so of course I'm buying a greatly improved version of it. I can't wait to 100% it a second time including every Nintendo gallery figurine. I did it all. Best visuals, overworld, and story of any Zelda by a wide margin in my books.

[QUOTE="super600"]

[QUOTE="silversix_"]yes TLOU. The difference between the two is that TLOU will win game of the year alongside GTA5 and Zelda WW will be forgotten in under a week like Pikmin.

Only the slow ones do. 

In which case, all of them.

It sure did in the mid-90s for consoles. Just like Goldeye set the standard for FPS. 

I don't see an issue here. It's a port of a 10 year old game. It's not gonna score higher than its original score. Plus 8 is a very good score. A must buy by my standards. ppl have their expectations too high for scores.
