I played the Celda demo...

It wasn't bad... in fact, it was pretty nice. It sucked that it was inside a dungeon, but oh well, it was good anyway.

The graphics are FAR from stunning in my opinion... but I think I can get used to it. Some of the cartoony effects weren't all that great, and the sense of relism that was in OoT and MM are completly gone. That's not a bad thing though, because I'm not really a fan of the adult temples in OoT anyway.

So far, that has to be one of the best in store demos I have ever played... which isn't saying much, but hey, the best is the best

i just got back from picking up my Bonus zelda CD.

saw the zelda WW demo there and started playin that. there were 4 options of where to play. one i played was in a duneon also. they prolly all were.

Anywho. Games amazing. Controls are just like N64's so easy to pick up and start playin right away. Graphics totally suck you into it. i MIGHT even like it better then the more realistic (in a sence) grahpics of the n64 ones. Even tho i dont consider TOoT's graphics that realistic anymore.

the animation really draws me into it. loved the way the lava part looked. the whole room being hot was more believeable. link sweating and all.

fighting enemys is quite fun.

Considering this is the reason i bought my gamecube.. im going to be one DAMN proud cube owner once i get this game.

the animation

Just played the Wind Waker demo, and any doubts that I may have had about the game are gone.

And the graphics really are pretty amazing. The art-direction is absolutely awe-inspiring. It's not just that the game is cel-shaded, the art-direction is what you draws you into Link's new world.

The expressions on Link's face, heat waves, draw distances as far as the eye can see, cool wind effects, and the smoke looks really cool; the individual clouds of smoke look really artistic. The amount of ART in Wind Waker's graphics is astonishing, and everything looks so damn fluid (incredible animations and imagination). Seriously, very cool art-direction, very cool...

I still would like to see Nintendo create a realistic Zelda taking advantage of the GameCube hardware a little more...

I played the demo yesterday, i thought it was actually really good! The graphics were amazing, they did and awsome job with the effects of cell shading. The controls were nice and really easy to pick up and play! I would have liked to see some outdoor areas, not all dungeons but it was all cool anyways. Anyways, it should be an awsome game, i cant wait to play the real thing!

I havent gotten to play yet, babbages had all their Demo's turned off...they prolly would've turned them on if I would've asked, but I didnt feel like it.

GameKinG · 02-13-2003, 11:51 PM

Its a pretty old demo (E3 I think). But its suitable...

Though it may not be that old...I dunno.

Jonbo298 · 02-14-2003, 07:44 AM

meh, It doesn't matter if it's old. Not everyone gets to go to E3. So any kind of playable demo of Zelda is good in my books no matter how old it is.

GameKinG · 02-14-2003, 09:56 AM

I was just saying it might be a demo of an older build to the game.

I went to EB Games to buy Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi's Island and saw the limited edition Zelda discs on the shelf. They let me have one even though I didn't have my reserve ticket with me. I wasn't even expecting them to have it this soon.

GameMaster · 02-15-2003, 06:59 PM

I'm going to Target tommorrow to reserve it and get the bonus discs and I bet the demo will be there so stay tuned...

GameKinG · 02-15-2003, 07:54 PM

It should be there. Deal starts tomorrow.

Mr.Nobody · 02-15-2003, 09:21 PM

I played the demo also. It was really good. But,I didn't get to play much.

I'm not getting the bonus disk. Mainly beacause I just got an N64 and Zelda:OOT and I've heard it wasn't that much different.

Jason1 · 02-15-2003, 10:41 PM

Babbages finally called, im going to get my bonus disc tomorrow...hopefully.
