I've heard the bar stage is pretty cool.

Link waves around his magical Wind Wanker to clear the bar of all its patrons.

After he chugs 12 Tingle-Bombs, he stumbles out of the bar in search of his sister for all the wrong reasons.

The Wind Wanker is part of Nintendo's new Mature image.

That is a terrible title.

Terrible title, terrible graphics IMO, I hope it at least plays like a zelda game.

I'll certainly give it a chance as I'm a huge fan of the series. I mean I wasn't thrilled about Metroid Prime being a First Person game, and it turned out phenomenally.

I played it at a Cube Club and it feels like a Zelda game. It does look much more impressive in motion on a TV than some crappy internet video.

You might want to click the link. It's actually Wind Waker. Don't believe everything you read.

Makes me think of Moon Raker... which then makes me think of Moon Raper starring Ben Affleck.

I find cel-shaded graphics unappealing. I'll be skipping this one.

Are they running an experiment to see how much they can screw with the fans and still get us to buy this?
The Wind Waker? WTF?

The title comes from the gameplay, where the "wind" in the game will have a large part in solving puzzles and the story. So they claim anyway.

But they should not name it Wind Talker, since it would bear the mark of an awful movie.

The best, however, would be Zelda: The Wind Breaker. That would sell games and Gamecubes even to the Xbox fanboys.

Break wind in the latest installment of the Zelda Series: Zelda: The Wind Breaker! Play the two dimensional paper Link in this olfactory adventure as he follows the trail Zelda's lovely farts!

That sounds like Ken and Kato, the old Japanese game for the Japanese TurboGrafx 16.

Top 5 rejected Zelda titles:

5. Zelda: The Wind Whisker
4. Zelda: The Wand Waver
3. Zelda: The Wind Beneath My Wings
2. Zelda: The Wonder Years
1. Zelda: The Cel Shaded Disappointment

Can't they just release the one they were working on before they switched to Celda as a seperate game?
