adventure

Get past the "kiddie" look of the latest Nintendo masterpiece and you'll find that magical gameplay that is evident in almost all of Nintendo's first party games. I bought my GC and chose Zelda as my free game...the first night after setting up my new Cube, I fired up Zelda and began my adventure. I haven't been this absorbed in a new game since the original Shenmue on the Sega Dreamcast. When I looked up at the clock, 5 hours had passed!! That's just a testament to how engrossing and addictive this perfect little game can be!

The story is quite interesting and the graphics begin to grow on you after a while. The play control is flawless...I can't even begin to tell you how much fun controlling Link and slashing around with the sword is! Fluid movement, a good framerate and a "save anywhere" feature help to make this game that much better! The soundtrack is effective and the limited voices enhance the storytelling. Load times are nearly non-existent...a big plus for me and since it comes on one GC disc, there's no need to swap out discs during gameplay!

I think this is the best Zelda game since the original 8-bit incarnation. While I still have a ways to go before I finish my quest, the parts that I've experienced so far indicate to me that this is a first rate masterpiece and exactly the type of game that Nintendo is known for! Great game-buy it now!!

This game is by far the best zelda ever. It is not the same game at all. You sail the seas in a major adveture to become the new hero. Defeat Ganon, Saving the princess zelda, and rescue your sister that was taken by a big over growned bird. meet pirates and divers. Also see the new Link, his Grandma, Aryll his sister, Tetra the female pirate, also the King, and the princess.

Though I AM disappointed with the graphics, this is an awesome game. It's got great game play, excellent controls and beautiful colours.

First, the storyline: definitely not as good as the others but it has it's pros too. PROS/ I like how Tetra is really Zelda in disguise. Ganondorf makes his appearance. CONS/ Link is not really Link. The guy you control who RESEMBLES Link is actually just a boy who dresses in Link clothing and takes the legendary sword and shield. The water filled base, it's cool at first and maybe if it was smaller but most of the whole map/world is water and it gets annoying when you're trying to sail and everytime you want to go another way you have to play the song.

The temples: Only a couple, somewhat of a challenge, pretty well done. I love the enemies and the fact that you have to sneak around under a barrel just so you won't get caught. Puzzling but not as hard as OoT and some of the parts in MM.

The characters: The only character I really like is Tetra and Ganondorf. It would have been a lot better if you were playing as the real Link but you're not. You can pretend all you want but firstly, Link doesn't have a sister (especially a sissy one who would get captured) and secondly, Link does not show much emotion. The main reason for cel shading this game was to have the so-called Link show emotions but in my views, Link is a tough guy who doesn't like to show much emotion. See the facial gestures in Oot, MM and Super Smash Bros. Melee.

In all, this is an excellent game to play, the temples and underground caves are fun to play and the items are cool and interesting. Tingle is the same weirdo as always and the "small fry" fish is cool. Okay well that's all I can write since my computer is messing up royal, anyways, this is an amazing game and I suggest you buy it especially if you enjoyed the other Zelda games. A good edition.
