Questions & Answers

I have tried just starting the game and getting 30 minutes into it, but it will shut off and I have to restart it. Has this been reported before or is this game a major issue?

There's a possibility you got a "Nintendo Power" preorder with only 30 minutes of play time Here is a brief look at the game Don't forget to use caution!

Can you tell me if this is For a disk, why do you want to pay $90?

The purpose of this is simply for fun. There is a 90 dollar sticker price for a factory sealed copy, which is expensive since this version of the game is no longer being printed. If you search for the item in the used category, you can find used copies with case and manual much cheaper. Hopefully this will be helpful to you.

Do you get a case with it?

I do have a case for this product

What are the system requirements for playing this game on the Wii?

In any case, it was of no use
3/5

My order didn't arrive until two months after I ordered it. Did it get stuck in customs for some reason? The purpose of this was to give it as a gift. In the end, I had to get it from someone else after I waited a month for my order to arrive. In the end, there was no way of playing the game and the case had been In the process of testing the game, I discovered it was not compatible with either a gamecube or a I threw it away because I was frustrated. It's a waste of both.

5/5

The fact that I never finished the game was one of my worst regrets. It took me a while to beat it this year, but I finally did. Game of the year.

That is the best game of all time
5/5

I couldn't say the same about any other. It took me a while to realize I had lost Nintendo upon first seeing this game. While I got an XBox instead of a GameCube, what I said to my friends who DID get a Gamecube, and what I wrote to GameInformer for valuing it very highly, all came from the actions of my head. The last time I checked, I thought the cell phone- There was no rationale for the shading. I was blown away when I finally got a Gamecube, and my friend loaned it to me. As soon as I began working on the game, I realized how deeply connected and emotional I really was to Zelda. did not have a chance to read the storybooks as I kept getting chills I heard the original zelda theme as the opening of the game unfolded. As soon as I completed this game, I realized this series is the best game series ever created for mortals, and I need to keep playing it regardless of what happens to me.
Next up was the graphic design. There was a prehistoric look to it Although it was an animated move, it was the actual graphics from the game. It was an incredible experience to see adorable characters such as Aryll in the game, and, combined with music, I was engrossed so deeply in the game that I became irritated and grumpy when I had to put down the controller. It's amazing how beautiful these graphics are. There are some really good and responsive controls along with a very intuitive interface! As for rotating the camera, this is something that really helps the series. Even long sailing boat trips could be entertaining with so many things to do there, like collecting items, sunken treasures, and fighting off marine enemies. The targeting system is still flawless, and some actions are mapped to the R button, which thankfully simplifies things. You can enjoy spinning the camera around with such fantastic graphics, even though you are not moving it. As a result of the numerous side quests and collectibles in this game, you can play this for a very long time. When I finished it, I felt satisfied, victorious, and eager for more. I was even more excited when I heard about the second quest. While the two aren't terribly different, it gives you the pictograph box and allows you to keep your original pajamas outfit throughout the whole Besides being able to read the Hylian language, and adding new humorous dialogue, it is also now possible to write. As a result, I have played this game three times now that I have bought it myself, and I plan to play it again soon The charm of the game has not worn off nor has it been lost. You can certainly play it several times over without much yearning for something else as the difficulty level decreases as you play, but you'll still enjoy the story, the music, the graphics, and the characters without the need for In my games, I am looking for that quality. The pros are The graphics are absolutely amazing, and the animations are just stunning. The puzzle solving expected of Zelda on the next console generation has come through with flying colors, and is just about right in its difficulty level. This is an epic storyline with brilliant characters and a remarkable plot twist. The soundtrack is amazing, and for Zelda veterans, it brings back memories. The game has a high replay value (for people like me who like to get a lot of value Please note Br>- Playing this game has made all other games seem a bit dull. Please note Br>- I have a hard time coming up with cons for it Here's something fascinating Is that right? There is speculation as to whether or not it is one of the later Zelda games (according to some sources). However, no one is certain. Is that right? Similar to Majora's Mask, this game does not have a subscreen for equipment. There's no explanation for why they never let you switch back to the shield that is part of your family. Is that right? What's strange is that the parts of this game that have received criticism are the parts that make it so good.
I recommend you buy this game as soon as possible if you do not have it already. I think it is a better game than Twilight Princess if you are looking for a solid Zelda game for the Gamecube. You will think of it fondly 20 years from now because it is a masterpiece.

We are experiencing a windy day
5/5

We are experiencing a windy day. A reliable source of above-average gameplay in the Legend of Zelda series has proven to be the Legend of Zelda series Since the early days of the NES, gamers have enjoyed quality gaming. The Ocarina of Time for the N64 was developed in 1998 after the game had moved into three dimensions I consider it to be one of the greatest video games of all time. Then, in 2000, there was Majora's Mask, which proved that the Zelda series was still going strong. As we enter the generation of it's successor, we get This is not the case despite its appearance The cover should be shaded GameCube's Wind Waker may be the best Zelda game ever. The Wind Waker actually takes place hundreds of years after The Ocarina of Time, when Hyrule is covered in water, and the only parts left are the many islands scattered TWW considers the Link from OOT a legend, and on a particular island called Outset Island, boys are accustomed to clad in green once they reach the age of the Hero of Time in this game. It is here on Outset Island that Link of TWW is different from the old Link in that he Both his sister and grandmother live in the same house. A game begins on Outset Island where they live together they have to hunt for treasure. A birthday wish to Link is in order. soon after, things begin to happen. ship carrying a bunch of pirates sails north out of Outset, pursuing a giant bird captained by a captain Tetra is the name of a little girl. As Tetra falls to the ground, their bird fires a shot from its cannon. Trying to regain her, he then tried to capture her. Instead of taking your sister, the bird takes you! He tries to rescue her with the pirates as they leave the island. As the game progresses, things get much more complicated, and before the game is over, the fate of the world is at risk. Apparently, Ganon has returned to Earth, and he seems pretty pissed off. There is an epic story embedded in The Wind Waker, just as there is in The story includes many memorable supporting characters as well as a number of twists and turns. (This is something But you don't have to I won't spoil the plot for you, but it has plenty to do with Hyrule, Zelda, the Master's Sword, and the Triforce. Though it may appear that TWW violates the groundwork established in OOT, it actually sticks pretty closely to it. The search takes you through a massive ocean, a series of riddles, etc. The ability to fill dungeons, collect items (which then allow you to enter new areas, etc. ). There are many of the usual items back (The bow, boomerang, hookshot) and some interesting new ones as well, such as the grappling hook and the deku leaf. And last but not least This is the title of the article You need to play The Wind Waker to understand the game. In the Wind Waker itself, there are very similar elements to the Ocarina of Time from Dark Souls and Metroid. Songs are learned for it that perform different functions. Although you learn fewer songs for it than in the past two games, and you do not play as many songs as in the past two albums. There are three different items that can be attached to the X,Y, and Z buttons, while the sword is the default device There are a few noticeable tweaks to the control scheme, but overall it is the same as OOT and MM. A rotating camera can now be controlled with the C stick, which makes it easier for you With the R button, you can crawl through tight spaces. Neither the control scheme nor its implementation has been broken They do not need to fix it, so I don't think they need to. There has been no change to the combat that worked so well in OOT and MM, and it is It has the same controls, but this time there are beautiful acrobatic animations that demonstrate the attacks, rather than merely a slashing motion. There is also a new feature called Parry, which lets players perform complex moves and attack simultaneously. Link can pick up an enemy's dropped weapon and dodge an attack at the same time. He can also dodge an attack and strike back at the same time. I don't know what to do with this This is a minor change, but it adds to the depth of the piece. To be honest, for the record, this is without a doubt the most combative war I've ever seen The game has not yet been oriented to Zelda. hundreds of enemies at any given time, and they are much more dangerous than they used to be. This time, the overworld of The Wind Waker is bigger and better - There are more islands scattered across the ocean than ever before, however, this is a vast ocean with huge islands. The talking boat you ride throughout the game will allow you to sail back and forth between these islands multiple times. (Speaking, of course. is actually one of the problems with A sailing trip to each island can take a very long time. The truth is, you will sometimes spend 10 or 15 minutes on a video It takes 15 minutes to sail solo. The sharks that jump out of your boat and knock you out don't help any either. It's good to know that Wind Waker has a warp song that may allow you to significantly cut down on travel time. It has a number of islands all across Many of them are just secret areas where you can find money or upgrade, but others are bustling towns full of people. The Island of Windfall is an impressive place, with lots of people to meet and a variety of buildings to explore. It may not be as massive as Majora's Mask's Clock Town, but it still makes an impression. World of Warcraft will have you spending the majority of your time in the overworld, but that's no bad thing. Unlocking all the secrets will take a lifetime. The game's dungeons will take up a lot of your time, so be prepared. Five official dungeons are in this game, which is one more than in Over the Moon, but three less than in MM. As with previous games, there is a theme to each game. the newest addition, the Each one is filled with riddles that need to be solved to progress, and there is a giant boss at the end. There is an amazingly well thought out dungeon system in Dungeon Keeper, and it is a lot of fun to explore Their only real challenge is to put up as much resistance as possible. the Wind Waker can be said to be this way throughout As a general rule, it doesn't require much of an effort. Simple and easily understood, these puzzles are a breeze to solve. (I admit there were a few instances in which I was confused, but for the most part the information was clear. Yet none of the dungeons ever seem to be as challenging as Temple of the Waters in the OOT. I shudder (shudder). In addition, the bosses in this game are larger and more impressive than ever before, but they are all very easy to take down. No matter how amazing the game's final boss is, it does not put much of a fight up. TWW was completed when I The time took me a little less than an hour, and I hadn't died once. If you've played OOT and MM, you're probably good to go on It is because of this that both OOT and MM are shorter than TWW. However, the difficulty is not the only factor to consider. It takes just a short time for the game to run. The Old One Thousand contained eight dungeons, Gerudo Fortress, Ganon's Castle, Gingordo Temple, and Well Temple This, and so forth. A minimal amount of dungeons existed in MM, but there were plenty of sidequests and side missions You will find dungeon missions there. (As well as 20 masks to be collected. 2) The World of Warcraft features five dungeons and very few quests You will find dungeon missions there. Having a low difficulty level and the fact that you can generally breeze through it, the WW goes down quicker than the last two. You will take about 15 to 20 minutes to complete the game If you are skilled, it can take you between 15 and 20 hours to defeat. For those who want to get every heart piece, every upgrade for every arrow, etc, there are also achievements. It might last a lot longer if you give it a lot more care. Moreover, the content is uneven in some places. example, in the first part of the game you need to collect three pearls (much like in Ocarina you need to collect three spiritual stones). In order to get the first two, you must beat a Fire and Forest temple In the third temple there is no water, so it seems that was cut out to finish the game on time. Finally there is a 'scavenger hunt' to collect 8 triforce shards, so there is no water temple to collect the third. In order to find the shards, you have to sail across the globe and collect 8 charts to find them, and then get each chart decoded for a pricey 398 rupees, which is why money collecting is important. After that, you have to actually find the shards. There is nothing exciting about this portion of the game, and it makes the game seem like it was added for the sake of As we move on to the graphics, let's talk about them. You are already aware that TWW uses a very different graphical style than either A cell phone could be a good choice It has a cartoony look to it. It is not without its critics who say that it is an uninspired feature that makes the game cliche. I'm sorry, but these complaints make no sense since TWW is, in one You'll see that this was actually a wise decision if you play through the game. This is a new world and time period, so there could be no other option than to design Furthermore, the graphics strength of Wind Waker lies in other areas as well. Characters, including Link, have facial expressions that are very expressive of their feelings. Since we know Link never talks to other people, let's hear what he says to himself Their answers to him are the only ones. It was almost like he was a lifeless shell in the N64 games. In TWW, however, his personality is displayed through the way he expresses himself in numerous ways. Yet Link is not the only one affected You meet a lot of people every day. One of the strongest points of this game are its expressive characters. However, there are a number of others as well. As you walk through the grass, you see the wind blowing the trees, the waves washing the beach, the sky is lit by torches, and there is a high resolution to the shadows cast. It makes a lot of difference from previous games when it comes to graphics. In addition, The Wind Waker is far from being a ridiculous One of the only aspects of the game that do not look serious are the MM seemed to be a much more casual game to me than TWW. It also has solid audio quality. Most of the music is remixes of themes from On the Other Side, and it sounds good. A variety of sound clips are provided for each character, although no voicework is provided. My guess is that there will never be one. While the GameCube version still has some shortcomings, this is still the best game on the platform. The playability and graphics in this game are excellent, as the story is great and the gameplay is fantastic This is better-than In the Zelda series, there is no better title. The game is just as must-own as every previous Zelda title and is well worth your money.
