Or any Zelda game for that matter. Don't know how I missed these games growing up. Never had a SNES or N64. But one thing that stands out is the creativity and how much fun the puzzle aspect is. Just got through my first dungeon and boss, and it was both challenging and rewarding.




*SPOILERS

From having to use the enemies' swords as torches to open doors, buckets of water to get to higher areas with the lava, cutting down the ropes of the bridges, using the bodies of enemies to put weight on levers, or using the swinging rope to beat the boss (which took me forever to figure out) were all pretty unique.

Can't wait for the harder levels and getting frustrated enough to want to throw my game pad through the wall.

My wedding song will be "The Song of Time" and my children will fall asleep to "Zelda's Lullaby" every night.

If it wasn't for the infinite sailing, I would have gotten in to that game more. Love the look. Will finish eventually, probably when I get a Wii U for myself. I own it for GC, but can't make myself hook that thing up.

My wife is on a "de-clutter" rampage, so introducing another gaming console probably isn't in my best interest.

The fact that you own WW and haven't beaten it also deserves it's own army of casty emoticons.

I'm not the only one that got bored with the boat.

The boat is faster in this one.

I heard the sailing mechanics were greatly improved for the U version. My sister got that bundle for Christmas and I now she isn't in to Zelda at all, so I might have to "borrow" it at some point.

There is a special sail that really helps speed up sailing in the Wii U version

Yeah you can sail fast in any direction without having to play that damn song every time now.

Also the gamepad in the game works very well. Really nice for switching out items.

Even with this the sailing still sucks

I've only played the original Gamecube version back in the day and while I thought there was a little too much sailing, I still liked it overall, especially how it fit in with the world and story.

There probably should have been more to do during the sailing bits but the barrenness of the ocean made more sense to me than the relatively empty worlds of Ocarina of Time's Hyrule field or even Twilight Princess's overworld.
