Saying "I don't count the Gameboy games" doesn't make them stop existing. They're just as much of the Zelda canon as the console games.

Way to simplify things again. Apperently You left out Ganon's torment and hyrule being flooded and killing millions from the result of it.

I am just saying I never would get a portable system to play games. They count I guess but the zelda creators have left the fans basically to their own theories on what counts and what doesn't from what I can gather.

You are missing out.

And not really. While piecing together the timeline has been largely left up to the fans, the creators have actually stated some facts about it, and as far as the handheld games go, they are fully part of the Zelda canon.

Most fans say the game was a disappointment and I agreed it was terrible.

How would I know that at this point they are portrayed as werewolves so what's your point?

Well, I don't count your opinion so I suppose that's fair enough.

I know of 5 people that liked it right off the bat. 3 friends in real life, 1 friend on here, and 1 internet celeb. Show me proof that most fans hate it. And once and for all, tell me why the game is ever so terrible.

My point is, you called me wrong even though I told you I read the books. So I felt like making you look like a person who doesn't know what he is talking about and assumes someone is wrong without so much as a second thought.

He was referring to Wind Waker I think. But that's a portable game so I guess it doesn't- HEY WAIT A MINUTE!!!! Its not a portable game. ๐Ÿ˜†

Please please stop insulting a game you literally have no real argument against.

While Wind Waker is the most graphically...what's the word? I suppose "kiddy," will do, the plot is anything but. Save for several generally silly moments, I consider it one of the darkest games in the series.

Edit: As well as Link's Awakening.

Actually Quan, that Quan-tum pun is awesome. And you will be seeing more of it the next time we again attempt to teach you physics.

I have seen some myamoto stuff and some think he might have been incorrect, been taken out of context, etc. I don't think he ever mentioned it again.

Any links to the facts stated by the creators?

Killing the good guy isn't something foreign to villains in g rated disney movies. I guarantee there was no blood and gore. I also laughed at how kiddie the graphics were. I played it years ago and put it down due to it's childish appearance.

If you'll judge a video game based on graphics then there is no ****ing hope for you. That is by far the dumbest thing. And I hate FPS games based on them being FPS games.

It wasn't the good guy. Hyrule was flooded, so no. You probably wouldn't see all that much blood and gore. I love how you base games based on appearance. It really emphasizes how shallow your opinion is.

Also, Disney Gods are stronger than GOW Gods. ๐Ÿ˜›

I don't like kiddie things such as Link looking like that. I don't base it entirely off graphics at all. I wouldn't give oot the time of day if I did nowadays but the manner in which ww was portrayed was so childish I gave it a shot and couldn't do so.

A bad guy killing isn't new and like I said occurs in g rated films.

So you don't pay any attention whatsoever to the plot is what you are saying?

Frankly I can't imagine Wind Waker having any other style of graphics. Cel shading worked so well for effects like the wind blowing and the smoke from the bombs. I think it also made it possible for the game to run more smoothly due to it being easier to animate all the moving water, but I can't prove that. For some reason it's just something that I seem to think is true.

Dude, just keep talking like that and you lose all rights to say Zelda is going downhill. This game looks childish so I'm not gonna give it a shot, why would I? Oh I'll play it for about 10 minutes, that's good enough for me to give an opinion on the series right?

Wasn't the bad guy if I recall right. Wasn't it the Goddesses that flooded the land? Hmm do not remember. G stands for General Audience, meaning that anyone can watch it. Does not equal kids movie. ๐Ÿ˜

Yes, the goddesses flooded Hyrule because Ganondorf was on a rampage and Link was gone.

It's always baffled me how people kneejerk that "PLOT > GRAFIX" concept.

Not that I'm agreeing with Quan.

I gave it a shot. I played for a lot longer than ten minutes. The game was way too kiddie for me.

Killing doesn't mean mature as general audiences can see death, now graphic death that's another story which also supports my initial point. It feels good to always be right.

Oh yeah, I gave in ordered both fables and an xbox 360 online this week. Should arrive thursday or friday.

Like how OoT was a kiddie game and yet you were stuck on it for 12 hours?

1. Graphic deaths are by no means special. And being able to watch it does not make you mature.

2. If graphic deaths was your original point, why not mention it?

3. If you declare yourself right, you probably aren't.

4. You dodge points left and right and ignore them while also changing the subject.

5. I really need to f*king play Zelda if I'm going to keep doing this. ๐Ÿ˜‚
