You should also pick up a Wii mote to play some of the gems that were on the Wii, hope you have fun and definitely pick up Smash Bros when it comes out.


Yeah I will. Defiantely for Galaxy 1 and 2 and I will give the newer Zeldas a shot. But my heart is still burned from WW. I wanted OOT 2 kinda looks and feel when WW came out. It broke my heart. Also NSMB looks cool and DKCR is absolutely a go.


Did you ever actually play Wind Waker? If not, I seriously suggest giving it another chance. I grew up playing NES, SNES, and N64 games. I've played and beat The Legend of Zelda NES, A Link to the Past, and the legendary Ocarina of Time. Wind Waker is not only my favorite 3D Zelda game, not only tied my favorite Zelda game, but my favorite game of all time.

I'm not expecting the sentiments of a total stranger to ring true to you, but you're doing yourself a diservice by not giving such a legendary game a try. It's the most open world 3D Zelda. It has the most fluid and satisfying combat of a Zelda game. It has attention to detail I've still yet to see replicated in a 3D Zelda. But most importantly, it is the 3D Zelda to, in my humble opinion, best preserve the original NES/SNES "zelda" feeling.

When Link pulls out the Master Sword for the first time and his face so clearly says what the player is thinking: "Holy shit, I'm such a bad ass now."  Or when an "important character" gives his final epic speach. Or the first time you... Well let's just say there's a part in the game that will make you wet your pants if you played Ocarina of Time.

Wind Waker was the last great 3D Zelda game to me because it was humble. Ever since Wind Waker, Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword feel like all the wish to do is 1-up Ocarina. They are really good games, but you feel the difference. They feel like vain games. Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword feel like they already know they're good games. Ocarina of Time, A Link to the Part, Majora's Mask, Wind Waker, The Minish Cap, and A Link Between Worlds feel like they don't even know they're being judged. They're humble. They just want to be fun. Wind Waker is fun AND epic and it doesn't even know it.

You really owe it to yourself to play Wind Waker HD. Just talking about it makes me itch to play it again.
