The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (Gamecube)

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker is a masterpiece. It has been loong since i wanted to start this game... erm i rather say adventure. Today i had finally finished this long "winded" adventure. When i look back at the hours i spent on this game(30~40hours?) i felt that the hours are well spent but certainly i had my share of frustrations. I've almost felt that i get the gamecube for a sole purpose: this gem. It's worth every dime if you asked me. Let's see, it first started from few years ago i find myself an opportunity to get a gamecube . I saw there is plenty of gamecubes that were in auction and the price is fairly cheap. So i decided to give it a shoot. I ended up with 6 gamecubes? Disaster.... I was into the colors. There is this orange color gamecube that only launched for Japan and others USA. I bought silver, black , indigo, and orange. I not sure what madness it got into me but i am so satisfied. There are not many games that are exclusive to the gamecube but The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker makes it worth the dime. The other reason that i was soo into the gamecube was GBA compatible. It's too cool to get to play GBA on a TV screen. Waaaaaay awesome. The picture quality , the colors, the sound... very old school. Gamers from the 80s will know what it's like to get a high end CRT TV to play their games. When we use our LED monitors to run our old school games, it never felt the same. So i got myself a used fairly good quality component input capable fat old CRT last year. So , when i was into the game the 1st time, i got hyped because it seems that in the game, it's my birthday. So i was at this island to explore myself and find my house. So it's the first time i felt like i am young again , loitering in this playground of mine and messing around with the pigs. So there am i at the playground and it's my birthday... the music is splendid, i could play this all day loong. So i get this green uniform from my grandmother and started my adventure. I like the way that i start up empty handed and work my way and get my hands on my gadgets, i get that setting. Every island on the map u need to feed the fish to get him draw for you so you will know which is which. (not very difficult chore but annoying) Feed the seagull and u can posses it to unlock dungeons..... (really?) U need to sail to where u need to go to and u need the correct wind direction to take you there. (takes time but felt realistic and all) Every island is unique and has something hidden (u need to figure it out yourself, tons of fun) Every dungeon is unique and need to work on the brains to figure it out. I like that u can fly in the air using the deku leaf. (well, gliding in the air and with correct wind directions) My favourite part in the game was to cooperate with medli in the earth temple. (fun times) Some dungeon will have hands that catches u and throw u back to the spot u fought before. (felt like wasting my time to prolong the gameplay) Hints are given but u need to find it yourself. Once you get to know the week spots of the boos fights, it will be a piece of cake. Before that it's pain in the ass. you will need to fight the bosses again in the last dungeon. (felt like wasting my time to prolong the gameplay) The last battle, is the pain in the ass boss but it's manageable. (the last boss, what u expect?) frustration because it wasted my times to do the same thing again and again but turns out this game is the real deal after all. 10/10
