Oh yeah, Wind Waker, remember that game lmao.
sure do>dude what if we got rid of all the gritty elements that were essential to zelda's aesthetic>dude what if we made the ocean huge and empty with the same repeating blue color throughout>dude what if we got rid of all challenge from every aspect of the game>dude what if we told you how to solve a puzzle in the final dungeon when the solution was a door over>dude what if we got rid of a few dungeons and replaced them with stupid triforce hunt shit>dude what if we had the worst dungeons in 3D zelda>dude what if we tried to give ganon a sympathetic motive at the final battle, never expanded on it and killed him anyway>dude what if we added a multi-weapon mechanic but made it useless since it drops after opening a door and are all shittier than the master sword anyway>dude what if we permanently fucked up the timeline>dude what if we made it so you constantly have to change the wind pattern to even navigate through the shit overworld>dude what if we made it so that the biggest side quest in the game involves a camera with an extremely limited photo inventory>dude what if we copy pasted shitty enemy gauntlets all over the world for padding>dude what if we made the teleporting mechanic limited to a couple squares of the world>dude what if we had the first major area in the game open up with a shitty stealth segment for no reason>dude what if...hear me out...what if we made the players farm for butterfly charms to progress
>>741170939They really did get a lot of things wrong making Wind Waker, it's really baffling to reflect on it.
>>741170939>gritty elements that were essential to zelda's aestheticAh yes, all those gritty elements in Link to the Past
>>741170939filtered by a toddlers vg kek, also doesn't fuck up any timeline, it's pretty straight forward after adult link in oot
>>741171413>you now remember dude's son turns into tree and diesthey pulled it again in Majora's Mask, le heckin' dark and grit-e-est Zeldurmanemup
>>741170939>dude what ifwhat if you were heterosexual
>>741171946The thing is, Wind Waker does have some pretty dark elements too. You spend the whole game sailing over the ruins of a dead kingdom, for starters.
>>741170281absolute ludokino, the best zelda followed very closely by OoT
>>741170939>dude what if we made the ocean huge and empty with the same repeating blue color throughoutI don't like Wind Waker or most of the 3D Zelda games, but sailing was good and still is one of the best modes of traversal in a 3D Zelda game. There were days where I just turned it on so I could sail from one area of the map to another and hoped the squid thing didn't interrupt the night/day, clear/raining/storming stuff. That and the music and liked the camera controls during it where a slight tap on the right bumper instead of a full click did a smooth pan and snap behind the boat for its camera reset if you were looking around with the C-stick.
>>741172279Wow that's crazy! it's hard to see that because they used the paint fill option on the ocean and it looks like shit.
>>741172419How much you want to bet this anon paradoxically hates being shot up into the fucking sky and diving to locations as a travel mechanic.
>>741172546You know what, if you don't believe that Wind Waker can be just as dark as Majora's Mask, why don't you take it up with my friend here? He likes hugs!
