Zelda Wind Waker

Taken from news:
Zelda The Wind Waker has broken the half million mark for pre-orders 2
weeks before it's even released. At around 560,000 and climbing.

A rep for Electronic Boutique says that it has outpaced pre-orders for
Grand Theft Auto 3, which seems a bit odd to me. What did GTA3 wind up
selling within a week of it's release ? Seems like I remember it
selling over a Million pretty fast. Maybe the pre-orders are happening
at a slightly faster rate, but I figure only time will tell if it
sells as much in a short time.

Anyway, that doesn't really matter. It's good news that Wind Waker has
already broken half a million.

I don't get all the bashers that call it celda based on the cel-shading. I for one like it. I feel like I'm actually playing a cartoon, maybe it's because I like cartoons. For instance, adult swim has a lot of funny stuff on it. Simpsons, family guy etc. Watching adult cartoons are heads and shoulders above reality TV that's for sure.
The best graphics-wise video games today look like exactly that, video games. When computer graphics reach real life likeness in the graphics department, then playing in a cartoon like environment that cel-shading provides may become silly. For now, I really don't think so.

i preorded it even though i dont like the use of cel shading in link he looks weird IMO but i loved cel shading in jet grind radio

nonetheless it should be a good game

i did not really enjoy ocarina of time though because i did not find the gameplay to be very fun and did not even bother with majora's mask because of that

Zelda and A Link to the Past are IMO still the best in the series by a longshot

I might have to pick it up since you get some free games with it too 🙂

The free bonus discs were for those who preordered. If you didn't preorder, you may not get the freebie Zeldas. I anxiously await this game, playing a cartoon is something I always wanted to do.

Yep, you're right. I've only heard it refered to as "Walker" though.

Weird.

 
Pre-Ordered it already and lovin' going back and re-playing OoT; Master Quest is hard as hell in the dungeons...fun fun 🙂

Wind Waker will own though 🙂
 
I hate to tell you, but most people think that Nintendo games are for little kiddies. The big N needs to reshape it's image and they need to become more adult orientated. They need to get rid of Mario and get more games such as Halo.

just my opinion...
 
I watched that 20 minute intro video floating around the net. The graphics are simply amazing. Tons of eye candy. I'll try to find the link. 🙂

LoL..glad you judge games by what the bashers consider the big N to be.

The whole kid-oriented thing is out the window now. Eternal Darkness, Metroid Prime, Resident Evil 0-4, Killer 7, P.N. 03, TimeSplitters 2, Soul Caliber 2, Splinter Cell, Metal Gear Solid, etc.. etc...

there is simply no comparsion..people can argue the lack of a multi feature in MP.But as a single player experience goes..it's no contest.

Now is a good time. They should offer the free game till the release date but ASAP is always best. 🙂
 
EBGames is still running Pre-Orders, as is Amazon and others. Best Buy and Circuit City have been sold out everytime I check so I just went via Amazon; got my bonus disk within a couple days.
