Edited by Mass Craziness: 1/23/2013 1:01:55 AMI have a Wii (I gave the Gamecube away). Sadly, my Wind Waker and Zelda: Collector's Edition are both broken. Good news? I have my Ocarina of Time/Master Quest Gamecube disc in usable condition (I have Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask as Wii Channels, however, so I can still play those as well), and I have Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword (I'm not too fond of Skyward Sword, however). Wind Waker was a great game. While I agree with what you said about Twilight Princess going more modern, it did so in an effort to touch into a darker atmosphere at some points, which would've been silly on the more toon-like graphics. In doing so, it was able to touch a bit more of the feelings of Majora's Mask. Admittedly, it can be seen and compared to today's games, but, as a Legend of Zelda game, it can still stand out amongst them. Skyward Sword did a blending of the two, both graphically, gameplay, and mood-wise. It was certainly interesting, however I found myself not liking it as much (as the part of the gameplay that reflected Wind Waker's sailing had much less to discover, and the part that reflected Twilight Princess's dungeon-packed, vast overworld was broken up). Wind Waker finds a nice balance between too much stuff and not enough to do. While it lacks a traditional overworld packed to the brim with goods, it still maintains a good adventure, and you can find all sorts of interesting things that make Wind Waker's world interesting and fun. Good purchase, Tom. Glad you enjoyed it.
