I have tried so hard since 2003 to like this game. I've beaten two Zelda games, LttP and Skyward Sword. I really wanted to add Wind Waker to that list. Heck, I'm right at the end of the game. I found the last two tri-force shards, went to the last dungeon, and at what I think according to the guides is about the halfway point of this final dungeon I got so bored and frustrated with how much this all getting dragged out that I just paused the game and quit right out to the menu without saving.

It's a pretty game. It's just insufferably boring. I'd rather pull my finger nails off with rusty pliers than suffer through this for one single second longer just so I can say I beat it. Sailing is boring, exploring is boring and has weak pay off, sidestuff away from the main story is boring, the story is boring, the combat is flat, lifeless, and yes, incredibly boring.
