benjam138 Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 I got Zelda Windwaker with a subscription to Nintendo Power Magazine..... Can you still do this? If so, how? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikau Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 Probably on Nintendo's online store at www.nintendo.com . I always get these letters in the mail from Nintendo telling me about these deals months in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 Anyone else using the GBA link to summon Tingle? It's kind of cool! I don't have anyone else to play with so I just kinda toggle between the two. But it's cool setting bombs to places you don't have access to (or even access to bombs yet).

Mikau Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 I don't think I'm far enough to do that yet. But I would like to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angrybrit Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 I've been playing Zelda:ww for at least 3 days. It's really good. Except for the camera bit. I have all the 3 orbs and now gotta put them in the place highlited on the map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paralistalon Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 I'm at the same exact part as you, angrybrit. I was a little dissapointed by how easy it was to get the third pearl though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintendo Penguin Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 I ordered mine on Nintendo.com Yesterday. (They had a good bundle package) Anyway, most everyone seems to like it. Does anyone think it is to easy, or are you finding it challenging? Or is it just plain entertaining? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhindle The Red Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 I have found it fairly easy so far (I've never been in danger of dying). Still, the puzzles have been pretty challenging and the game is very entertaining, so I don't mind the difficulty being a bit lower than, say, Majora's Mask. The only gameplay complaint I have is that the side quests don't seem as well integrated into the game as they were in the N64 titles. I always feel like I'm going out of my way to accomplish them. In the N64 titles, they seemed a more natural outgrowth of what I was doing. The only presentation complaint I have so far is Link's victory dance is a bit too much. I have no problem with the camera, although it does choose odd default locations sometimes. But the ability to use a completely free camera compensates for that nicely. Also, it's neat to set the camera in front of you while traveling by boat. Watching the various structures roll by in the distance behind you is much nicer (and more cinematic) than seeing the back of the boat during long trips.

Invader_dag Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 I`m on the Forest Haven Island, and about to go to the forbidden forest. I guess this following thing is kind of a spolier, but anyways. Did you see the nintendo gallery?? It is on a little island in the forest haven area. You have to use the flowers that shoot you in the ari to get to the point where you get the deku leaf. Then, instead of going to the place with the korok by suing the leaf, use the leaf to go to next flower. Blast onto the platform and go outside thorugh the little hole. Change the wind(If it is not already) to north. And use the leaf to go to the littl island stragiht in front of you. Talk to the guy, and then use the pear to control a seagull. Hit the switch in the alcove on the main island, and then head into the hole in the ground. Talk to the guy behind the counter to hear some VERY interesting. If you don`t feel like doing all that before knowing what he says, he syas this: "We've lost allot of members cause we don't have 'Gimmicky Attractions'. But the remaining members all know that we are the best!" What does that sound like to you?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munkyxtc Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 I picked up my copy on Tuesday, but haven't had a chance to sit down and play it for long periods of time, but what I've seen thus far is impressive...I wasn't sure about the cell animation when I first heard about it, but after playing the game I'm actually liking it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shep Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 I am in love with this game, the sailing gets kind of old, and it easy kind of easier than the past two titles, but it's still a good time, especially with Tingle and the GBA... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashnooga Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 AHHH! I needs more time to play this game... I hate 13th grade so much, between that and target i have no time to do anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 I'm in the Forbidden Forest right now, I just grabbed a boomerang. This is a high quality game and I like it so far, but I must admit not much has really dropped my jaw. I LOL'd a few times due to the humor, and it is fun. The only time I die is at boss battles, or sometimes falling into the sea or a bottomless pit. I like the slight pause when Link kills an enemy w/accompanied color flash, then the swirling purple clouds afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kisrael Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 Got this yesterday. I'm trying to get a feel for how much you "need" a GBA to do well in this game. I'm feeling a bit miffed about it, actually. It's cool how Metroid Prime/Fusion gave each other some goodies, but according the promotional material in the box, for Zelda it's looking a bit more central. Which is kind of cool but kind of unfair as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhindle The Red Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 The only time I die is at boss battles, or sometimes falling into the sea or a bottomless pit.As long as you don't see the "Game Over" screen, I don't really consider it "dying", just part of the strategy. I'm trying to get a feel for how much you "need" a GBA to do well in this game. You absolutely do not need the GBA to finish this game. I'm purposely not using it, because I feel it makes it too easy (and it's easy enough now). The GBA/Tingle connection will help you find certain extras, but nothing needed to finish the game requires it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shep Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 It isn't nessacary at all, I just like using the Tingle bombs, and I think it is a nice a little "extra" but the game is easy enough w/o it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theaveng Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 I've been playing Zelda:ww for at least 3 days. It's really good. Except for the camera bit. What's wrong with the camera? It works almost exactly the same as the Ocarina camera. Just press the L-trigger and it will automatically move directly behind Link and stay there. Ocarina worked the same way. The only difference is that now we have the option of moving the camera with the C-stick (I don't use this option). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kisrael Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 I don't remember the camera in Z:OoT but I've been cursing it a few times during this game, especially during some boss battles, and when wandering around tight spaces. So far, my favorite part is the way the Moblins and Darknauts (or whatever they're called") fight...how you can knock away their weapon, and they'll either go into karate mode, or grab a weapon--even one that they didn't start with! Combined with being able to slice away their armor (especially if you sneak up behind them), I think the sword combat is better than its ever been. (One thing that helped was that minigame on the first return to Outset Island, where you have to hit your teacher 100 times before getting hit 3 times, I think it's taught me to use my shield in a way I didn't last game, I used to be much more of a button masher, if memory serves.)

Kasenoke Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 I dont have a Cube, and dont have any friends who have Wind Waker. Don't get me wrong, Wind Waker looks cool, but I dont think ANY Zelda will ever be better than my favorite: Zelda: A Link To The Past!!!!!!!!!!

theaveng Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 I don't remember the camera in Z:OoT but I've been cursing it a few times during this game, especially during some boss battles, and when wandering around tight spaces. I repeat (repeat): Use the L-trigger to quickly move the camera around. Also, try hitting your grandfather 500 times. Trust me, it's worth it.

kisrael Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 Finished this today. I didn't think the triforce hunt was as bad as others said, though on the other hand I was using a guide (not constantly, but whenever I got stuck for more than a few minutes) so take it with a grain of salt. I liked it overall, and the final boss battle was about the best ever. Still, like Metroid and Z:OoT, there's not much here to bring me back to replay. I wish more games would take a cue from DK64 and have a mode that lets you go right to the boss battles, with the appropriate level of weapons you had when you first fight them. (very minor SPOILER: this game already has something like this, but it's woven into the story) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 I have not read this thread yet because I don't want to be spoiled, but I did get my copy a day or two before leaving for Philly. It's still sitting on my desk, in the shrinkwrap, quietly beckoning me to play. Given that I could really use a distraction right about now, I may fire it up later this afternoon. Especially since friends of mine have been playing it and they'll give away the whole damn game if I don't start playing it soon. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I've been carefully avoiding playing it this week until tonight, and as soon as I'm done making this "Tequila Music" CD for a friend I'm gonna go fire it up again and play my brains out.
