Why is it hard? It definitely had a different look from, say, Metal Gear, even though both were on the same console.

Really? I think the enemies look great. I especially love those pig guys, whatever they're called. And the bosses I've fought so far are gorgeous—amazing use of color on them.

The pig guys are called moblins. The enemies indeed look great, the bosses especially. I also like those big peahats (aka the big hellicopter plant things) with the creepy clown faces, they still scare the crap out of me. The game has a great use of color, it's fun to just look at how things are shaded different depending on the time of day, and I love all the things that go on in the ocean, day to night transitions, wind and clouds, storms.

Anyway, the Zelda games are marketed to a wide demographic that ranges from children to adults, that has been the case ever since the first game. Still, Nintendo did go for a darker look with TP and the upcoming Wii game will follow suit, so I don't see why Matious is complaning.

I actually prefer a darker zelda. The twilight world was pretty cool in TP. And i loved how trippy Majora's Mask was.

I did like how Wind Waker gave Ganandorf a little more backstory and motivation for why he's so evil.

I think they should make a remake of ALTTP, with new graphics.
Wind Waker actually is rather dark in places, the story has a post appocaylptic setting basically. And the game ends with Link stabbing Ganon in the f*cking head, how much more hardcore can you get without getting a T rating?

Stabbing ganandorf in the head was definitely awesome, no one is arguing that.

That depends on which time line you look at!

Dude... hard one.

My best character was actually an argonian, which sounds weird but he was seriously powerful and I liked the breathing underwater. Somehow all my saves of him got deleted though grr **** **** ssbgvesg

I might have to play some Oblivion soon... I haven't played in a while but I used to be seriously obsessed with that game.

My favourite char was a .. uhm, red guard was it? I think that was what they're called, fighter oriented species.

If anyone has a gamecube and they haven't played Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door, you should probably log off and go get it cause that **** is hot.

I played a quarter of the way through Bloodlines maybe 5 years ago until I encountered a game stopping bug and forgot about it but I've been playing through it recently and just completed it yesterday. It's a great game if a bit unstable and I really hope that people's cursory judgement of it isn't tainted by Twilight.




Finished this not too long ago as well... much shorter than the original.
