Why did they have to change the way the game looked? Zelda was such a great game and it looked awesome. Link looks like a dam fool.

Please play the game first. The sreenshots don't give it justice.

Games aren't ALL about graphics. Music, story, gameplay, etc. also counts. Trust me, you'll like this game.

Screenshots for cel shading games always look like crap !
Even if the true game looks awesome.

Zelda : the windmaker is the single most beautiful game ever made amongst the "cartoon style" category.

I'm almost as impresse with its graphics than I was waaaayyyyy back when I first saw dragon's lair.

Those remembering the time will know what I mean !

In other words : This game looks much better in action that it will ever look on a static view.

You know, I felt the same way when OoT came out. I couldn't believe that they were changing the view from a top down view to a 3D game. Its amazing how good the change was. Maybe you should just play this game a take it for what it is, a great game.

If once you pop, the fun don't stop, why do they have resealable lids?

From: TiMe NuLL | Posted: 5/7/2003 8:43:59 AM | Message Detail

I couldn't believe that they were changing the view from a top down view to a 3D game.

That was a moronic example. Changing from a top-down view to a 3D view was simply to keep up with the times. They had the 3D technology, and the gameplay was barely changed from the transition, so it really doesn't matter. He's talking strictly cosmetic.

But I agree, Link looks like an imbecile in this game, along with every other character in the game. I like the cel-shading idea, bright vibrant colors works for me, but I despise the art style.

Link looks funny in this game. I like to put him up against a wall and lightly tap the analogue stick left and right to give him shifty eyes.

I played it, and I'm going to judge it.

Yes, the game is good, though a little easy for my taste, but it has the formula that makes Zelda games great. I'm still dissapointed in the graphics. I just hope Nintendo changes them on the next game--wishful thinking. The graphics were ok for this game, but Link changes in every one of his games, let's keep our fingers crossed and see if they can make it with a little more realism.

He said why change the graphics because they worked so well with realistic. Well, didn't they work with a top down view just the same? Who cares if 3D was the trend at the time?

The only reason I said anything was because this started on the WW board and there was a post directed to me, so I replied. I understand why you don't want many topics about Zelda here, so I won't make a new topic. But this is a Zelda social board. If you want just ordinary topics you should go to an ordinary social board like The Couch or the Forum, or dare I say, LUE.

I think the cel shading could have looked more hand drawn. Like in Chrono Trigger or E.G.G.

Hey man calm down, Im not a newbie. And like I said, this topic was originally on the WW board. I wasn't telling you to go somewhere else immediately, but you can't get upset when someone talks about Zelda on a Zelda Social board. If you want regular topics about regular things, than go to a regular Social board. That's what they are there for.

Take this discussion to the topic I created for it.

Hey man calm down

I am calm.

Im not a newbie.

Yes, you are.

And like I said, this topic was originally on the WW board.

I am aware of that.

I wasn't telling you to go somewhere else immediately,

I'm not leaving, now or later.

but you can't get upset when someone talks about Zelda on a Zelda Social board.

I can do what I damn well please.

If you want regular topics about regular things, than go to a regular Social board. That's what they are there for.

Don't tell me what Socials are there for. I know. You do not. Try this: If you want to come to OUR board, you talk about what WE want you to, or you get mocked. Hows that? A lot more logical than what you're yammering on about.

You ARE a newbie here, poolshark. And by definition, this a regular social board. Just because it says Zelda, doesn't mean Zelda topics should be here. Sure, they can, but they'll only be mocked.

Maybe on this board im a newbie, but i am far from a newb when you look at the big picture. its still futile to complain about Zelda topics on a Zelda social board. Mock them all you want but they will never go away. I wont create a topic about Zelda here because I understand your cause, but when a post is directed towards me, i feel obligated to reply.

"Don't tell me what Socials are there for. I know. You do not. Try this: If you want to come to OUR board, you talk about what WE want you to, or you get mocked. Hows that? A lot more logical than what you're yammering on about."

How do i not know what a social board is there for? What have i possibly said that indicates that i don't know what a social board is? This isn't YOUR board. i have spent my entire time at the WW board, does that make it MY board, no. Quite an ego trip you have there. If you want to complain about Zelda topics being on a Zelda social board, take it up with an administrator. This topic was started on the WW board, it was marked and moved over here. So it obviously belongs here.

Wow!!!!! The egos from some of you. You don't control anything, the moderators and the administrators do. All you guys do is complain about how zelda shouldn't be talked about here. if a topic was moved over here from another board, than it obviously belongs here. And I don't care if this topic succeeds or not, its not mine. I only replied to a post directed at me.

These things are completely different. He's talking about going from realistic to cel-shaded. You're talking about adding an entirely new dimension. There's no way you could compare the two.

Im using that comparison to show that it doesn't matter what worked before. Im not trying to compare 2D to 3D. It may seem that way, but it is not the case. If they wanted to change it, than it was changed for a reason.

Repost all that in the topic that's made for it, if you want a response. The whole purpose of my topic is to condense all the arguments, for ease of reading and minimal repetition.
