i finally picked up zelda : windwaker for the gamecube. uh. damn. talk about a great game. most obviously, the graphics are beautiful. from the characters to the backgrounds to the tiniest little touches, i cant even count how many times ive said 'wow'. the bomb clouds are great.
the sound is great. the music is subtle and appropriate, and the string version of the zelda theme at the beginning made for a great fanboy moment. sound effects are crisp and sort of whimsical. while the characters dont 'talk', the nondescript voices add a nice level of immersion.
gameplay is tight and intuitive (mostly). its complex without being overwhelming and while i find myself forgetting some of the moves from time to time, its thoroughly enjoyable to play.
all in all, this is probably the finest game ive played on the gamecube.
