Dungeons were (though long) too few, the puzzles were too easy, the moving around was unsatisfying and annoying, rewards were stupid because you never knew who gave you what (stupid charts)....

Ok, enough TWW bashing for today.

The only thing that stands out in The Wind Waker compared to the other Zelda games is the story.

Not that it's a great story (compared to the average RPG), but it was better than OoT and MM...

I have very high hopes for The Twilight Princess.

I personally feel that the style of the game put it head and shoulders over the other games in the series. I really loved the look of the game.

Also being one of the few that was not directly related to the events of another (Majora's Mask follows OoT and Link's Adventure follows Zelda) but Wind Waker was a new start that still made many references to the OoT.

Also I loved some of the dungeons and the final boss albeit a tad easy was sweet.

It was a neat style for Wind Waker, and I'm a big supporter of the game itself, but I seriously thought it could've used some orchestral music.

Nintendo started slumping with the series. They hit a high with Majora's Mask and the Oracle games, but Wind Waker was a little disappointing and Minish Cap was downright disappointing. I don't care for Minish Cap at all. And the worst thing is, I know it's short, but I'd rather not waste my time on it anyways.

And Four Swords was good for a little multiplayer romp but it wasn't the absolute best.

Thankfully Nintendo took the hint with TP.

I recently discovered that TWW has some nice music (I've found the 2CD soundtrack), but not the famous catchy tunes that the other games had. The only (new) song that I can remember is the sea tune (though that has the overworld tune through it?) and the intro song with the panflutes or whatever.

The rest is pretty (though Dyne is right), but not memorable.

The Zelda series has awesome music. I have all the soundtracks.

I'm really curious about the TTP score.

I think the music doesn't seem as catchy and rememberable is because it's more atmospheric for the most part. The boss battle with Molgera has to be one of my favorite video game songs. Definitely catchy. No Saria's Song but still good. The other stuff is pretty beautiful like the opening theme or the Earth God's Lyric. Both have an Irish feel to them.

I just listened to my MP3s of Molgera... it's catchy, but it has no.... rythm. It's impossible to whistle along with it. Except when they hint at Saria's Song. Then you remember how cool that song was.

Edit: Can somebody tell me the total sales of GCN?

18.5 million as of March 2005, apparently.
