great game, but not perfect
what is so good about it, you ask? well, pretty much everything.
from my point of view, there are two types of zeldagames: story based (ocarina of time) and exploration based (Majora's Mask). this is definetly a exploration! 49 island, and just a few of them are nececary for the main quest. this give you plenty off space for goving off, side-quests, or just brag at your friends about your fully filled seachart. on these islands you will find mini-games which are quite easy money, like the boating course or (my personal favourite) the canontrail! hours of entertainment!
this doesn't meen that the story sucks at all! even if you play the mainquest alone, you will have fun for at least 10 hours! this game also has a good replayvalue, so that would be more like 20 hours. the story itself is quite deep and flawless. there is truly nothing you find impossible because something else happened in any of the other zelda's. perfect for the fan and the non-fan.
next is the fighting system. well done indeed! finally, link is capable of doing some combo's, and they look nice and painfull! the enemies seem to be quite smart as well! they also have multiple kinds of attacks, and are able to break trough your shielding. too bad that if you got the trick, it wont be much of a challenge anymore.but thats oké, since zelda has always been more of a puzzle adventure.
the only thing that worries me is the difficulty. the main quest is just too easy! but is truly the sole con, so why am i bringing this up anyway?
the wind waker is a true must-have for every gamecube owner!
