Wind Waker gets too much hate
>>737603250No, it's dogshit. Shit wakers "accolades":Too easyGarish art styleBraindead spam a combatDungeons degrated into linear corridors without puzzlesTri force hunt to pad the run time outStart of the empty open world cubies like to blame Botw forGirlboss brownwashed mulatto pirate ZeldaSinglehandedly caused the Gamecube to flop by being a rushed piece of dogshitVoted the 2nd best game of all time by /r/TransGamers
>>737603250I know where the hate comes from because I was part of the hatebase for it up to its release. I thought it looked too cartoony and childish for me. I was also 11 years old, When my sister bought it for me anyway and I actually played it, I loved the game. Most of the hatebase are people who were in a similar situation, but who never had an older sister who made them play the game anyway.
>>737603250Meh. It's still better than Breath of the Wild just for the simple fact that it remembers it's an actual fucking Zelda game.
>>737603250it's better than twilight princess but they are both still shit
>>737603250It doesn't get enough. It's still a much better game than garbage like TP
>>737603250People literally only like this game for the graphics.
>>737603250things that go unhated are universally dogshit
>>737603250It has some really good cinematic high points, but unfortunately its low points are a lot of fundamental gameplay things. Dungeon design sucks. Boss design sucks. Puzzle design sucks.The fact that it is still a well liked game despite all that just shows how good the good stuff was.
>>737604935>>737603948Twilight Princess does a lot of those fundamental things better, but it also just lacks the high points of Wind Waker, so it just comes off feeling bland. Except for Midna, of course.It also has way, way more pointless padding than Wind Waker. TP had no right to have a run time as long as it did.
>>737603250i dont hate it, it is just the 3d zelda i like the least
>>737603250This post from earlier had some salient points on why it's overpraised by fans >>737588178>Where to start. The game is called Wind Waker, that's the name of the music item that is used to control the sailing that you do for a large part of the game. When Nintendo remastered it, they implemented the swift sail. Not only does this cut the time spent sailing in half, it also supplants the Wind Waker of its use in sailing too. So we're looking at a flawed concept from inception, if a remaster decides to start gutting core features, and it's portrayed as a positive.>You spend a lot of time sailing, pirate themed, so collecting treasure has a big focus right? every chest you pull up is pretty much guaranteed to be rupees. This game introduced massive size wallets to hold thousands of rupees, which is a large step up from the 500 rupees in the previous games. So you're expected to collect a lot of rupees, they are a uniform treasure, you get them sailing, you get them in dungeons, in towns, all over, and they contribute to your collected funds. In the original the point of this was to use them to translate the triforce charts, the second to last progression of the game before going to the final boss. So this is pretty much Wind Waker's best use case of non-linear progression, you find progress to be made all over the game world. The remaster reduces how many rupees would be required in half, and also doubles the amount of rupees that can be carried in each tier of wallet.>I could go on and on about this game, but it's clearly a game at odds with itself, and poorly executes everything. The remaster guts features and fans of the game tend to praise it for doing so. It's clear that even among fans, nobody really likes Wind Waker. They like the facsimile of it instead. Have you ever heard anyone talk about how much they love sailing around and exploring islands? that should be a bigger aspect of the game I imagine.
>>737603250It's not getting enough hate. Why the fuck does it take two whole dungeons for the ocean to stop being an L-shaped hallway?
>>737603739I liked the art style a lot and its music and lil towns are great its just lacking in different areas that made me dislike it. Plus its combat additions were fun too.
>>737607082I love the ocean setting, so my only real issue is that I wanted more and bigger islands and more dungeons really.
