Did you learn the song that allows you to use the warp points? That would cut probably 66% (estimate) of your sailing time off. I know if I never learned it, and had to sail the actual distances between all those islands, I likely would have never finished the game.

I did the song...it did save time.....but first you have to do the wind song to sail to the special spots to do another song....it was boring and not fun after a few hours.

Things like the sailing are in all RPGs, thinking back to games like the old FF games on the SNES I remember how long it could take to get from point a to point b because you had to stop and fight enemies all time (90% of who were so weak compared to my levels that they were easily dispatched). At least with the sailing there was lots of stuff to find on the way if you were paying attention and trying to find 100% of the items.

I agree with you. Look at FFVII Airship...that was annoying too...but you didn't have to do some song to get the wind to blow...then have to re-do the song to change the direction of the wind to get to another point.

:lol:

I was the one that said he was "pwned"

He was the same way about the Halo 7-11 thread. He's just got a short fuse :D

:up: :lol: my DVD stalker ;)

to be fair, even with those songs, there was still way to much sailing. That and you didn't learn the songs until later in the game after you had sailed 50 miles. It was a decent idea, with poor execution.

man, i saw that pic in EGM and went down to GS today and just pre-ordered it. i hope they get the bonus in early ala Rebel Strike's Star Wars emulation...that was my favorite!!!
For some reason, I might want this one more since I liked WW, but never got into the graphics!!!

:confused:

Be sure to get it on April 1st :up: it's going to go fast.....

It's bad enough to fall for it in the magazine, but to miss two threads saying it's a joke?

The most unique aspect about the remade WW game I heard is that Link appears in the entire game...topless

And his sword is....di..errrrrr ....;) wrong forum

LMAO! I'm picturing it Diddy Kong Racing style! :)

i don't think it will come out that soon...the guy said hopefully a month before release which hasn't even been announced yet. but, there prolly be more pics and hopefully vids to tides us all over!

it's a joke dude.... :wave:



wlj

oh...so when does it really come out?

You're just being a smart ass right?

Other wise your the biggest dumb ass on the forums. :D

The game is never coming out, the whole thing is EGMs april fools joke.

yeah right! they can't doctor photos like that and then publish it...stop funning me. let's just talk about how excellent this bonus will be and if anyone has actually info. on when it is coming out. josh, no need to get nasty.

I saw this last night.. and I can't coat this any other way I'm afraid: Anybody who fell for this is an idiot.. and anybody who thought it looked better than the real Wind Waker (or thought it looked even remotely close to the screenshots they have released of the new Zelda) is seriously artistically handicapped.

Furthermore, how oh how exactly does adding poor textures to and removing the color from a game make it "mature?" We are living in a pretty cold gaming world devoid of artistry and imagination if people actually think that.

I saw the magazine, and I have to agree with Pixy.

Yep, looked like crap.

But I guess that's still better to the "I hate cartoons, let me go kill some hookers" gaming crowd.

wait...so this isn't coming out?

Josh you're just better than the rest huh? ;)

At least better than those that shun games just for cartoon graphics. ;)

Hell yeah!
