Zelda GCN

[Storm Eagle]

I got the Gamecube version on the first day it came out, but then took it back later because I thought the Wii version might be better to play. I've played a demo of the Wii version at least, and the control scheme seemed more fun that way.

I was shooed out of the other Zelda thread since I have not yet finished the game, but I wanted to say that I'm much more impressed with it now that I've gotten further along. The ball & chain is my new favorite implement as I love to smash things. Also I recently discovered a whole section of the castle town that I had overlooked before, and I finally found out that you can actually redeem those little golden bugs for prizes.

The puzzles and hidden secrets still seem a pale imitation of prior Zelda games but I suspect this has more to do with age-related perception than anything else. After all there's nothing particularly clever about randomly bombing a pixilated wall in hopes of finding an old man with a heart container.

I really liked the idea of the 5th(?) dungeon, just a 'normal' house with people living in it. The ball & chain is nice to have, but I don't think it's a keeper like the hookshot and the boomerang are.

And sorry for shooing you out boss.

I love the ball and chain. It's so fun to use. I just wanna break everything. And I love the Ice Temple. It feels less like a temple and more like a mansion
