Does anyone elso think Windwaker would have been better recieved if this game had come out first?
Okay what I'm getting at is that The Zelda games have a bit of a reputation of going serious-lighthearted-serious-lighthearted etc. I'll start with A Link To The Past since that's the first one I played. Kick-ass game right? so then we have Link's Awakening while still kick-ass the main boss came in the form of a nightmare that wasen't really effecting things in the negative way Aghanim/Ganon was. Next came Ocarina of Time, major kickin'-ass again followed by Majora's Mask which again didn't feel to me as serious as Ocarina. (I'm leaving the recent GB titles out since I haven't had a chance to play though both yet and don't feel I know enough to rant about them.)
Okay so now we get Wind Waker which as graphically stunning and as fun as it is set the demographic back a bit and alienated some of us (myself included since I did my share of grumbling when I saw it) that have played most if not all the other games. So if the game that had come out first had been this one then Wind Waker I think there would have had a little less bitching and backbiting so that younger kids whose parents won't let them play something with blood or some other half-assed argument like that could enjoy the Zelda goodness too.
