Zelda: Wind Waker Tech Analysis

Same here, I would do other things meanwhile. Good times good times.

I know, right? I know a lot of times games get boring when it feels like you're grinding, and a lot of people felt that way about the sailing portions of Wind Waker. But I honestly didn't feel that way. To me, grinding is having to actually do monotonous tasks over and over just to progress. While the sailing in Wind Waker might TECHNICALLY fit that definition, you didn't really have to do anything except point yourself in the right direction, put the controller down, and wait (unless the occasional enemy or obstacle popped up). Which honestly made the game feel really relaxing to me.

Also, as much as I like "older" Link, I feel like the concept of a 10 to 12 year old Link destroying the king of evil and saving the world is SO much more badass.

My thoughts exactly, you'd have no clue how much I would restart the game again especially when you save over a file and wear that lobster shirt around the entire game. Made it look even more badass. It's like "Oh hey look its just a kid in a lobster shirt going around and kicking ass and not giving a FF" xD

P.S. Meanwhile sailing and awaiting my destination especially collecting heart pieces or doing some side quest I would usually heat up a hot pocket

Instead of arguing about how amazing Wind Waker is, you guys should totally explain what draw calls are.

Who's arguing?

This is certainly interesting. Nintendo's attention to detail is really the stuff of legends.
