1st - The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker

Wind Waker was one of my first games on the Gamecube and when I played it, I became instantly in love with the game. While I can see how people dislike this game, becasue of the slow sailing and the triforce quest, I on the other hand believe that this title surpassed what it was trying to be. Just sailing through the vast ocean without knowing what lies ahead was what captured me. for the most part,´. It really felt like an grand adventure, an adventure. 

One of the other aspects of this game that captured me was Ganondorf. I felt that in this title he was portrayed different than any other Zelda titles, I actually symphatized with him during he end, I could see why he tried to do what he tried. Now putting that aside, I can also say that the gameplay is amazing, being drastically improved over the N64 Zelda's, not only because of the controller, but this game was actually the last Zelda to have used items from previous dungeons in a good chunk of the game. Another part was also the swordfighting, where new moves where implemented and that has appeared in recent titles. Before getting to the end of this, I will also have to say that the soundtrack is among the best in the series, the artstyle was the best this game could have gotten. 

Now for the ending. I can say that it was phenomenal. Just getting to stab Ganondorf once and for all in the head, for good to the King's speech of a new future, just made me tear up. I can say that this game felt as the end of a begining and aswell the begining of the end. I do hope that one day we will be seeing the future that they take responsibility in, with that I mean that I hope someday we will be seeing the discovery of this new land.

With all that, Happy New Years to everyone in VGChartz and I have really enjoyed taking participation on this event.
