Re: Lack of Locations in Wind Waker?

In TP's Hyrule castle town, there were only like, 5 useful NPC's, compared to almost every NPC being useful in TWW's Windfall island.
Fishing, bug collecting, searching for heart pieces, ghost hunting the Hero of discount store quest, and each new sword skill was a side quest. There was also the quest to throw a huge thing of hot spring water on that gorron by the east gate bridge. You also have to travel back to areas to get things you couldn't get to before because you lacked the proper item or skill. Then lets not for get the Cave of Ordeals, that was one of the toughest places in Zelda history. The Ghost hunters quest is pretty good because most of the ghost are hard to find do to only being able to find them at night and some you had to find places to dig to find them. The only thing that was missing from TP was the lack of NPCs that talk but don't have anything relevant to say. Personaly I'm glad there aren't a lot of pointless chatter to waste my time. I also loved how they reintivated the gossip stones in TP. Much better than saying what time it is and giving you little quotes. WindWaker was fun but I spent a lot of time sailing from place to place instead of warping just so I could have something to do. If WindWaker might have more quests than TP, but I don't really think it did. The story of WW was fun but the ending was crap. It made it seem like that's how the story of Hyrule ends and I hate to think that Hyrule is to be completly flooded and forgotten.

Also, I thought OoT was a masterpiece. I loved how you went through time to two time periods. I know alot of TP fans will say, "no man, you could go in da twilight realm". The Twilight realm was garbage. There was nothing to do AT ALL in the Twilight realm except for killing insects.
You seem to bash TP every chance you get. I don't understand why your so stuck on hating it. Yeah the awe of OoT when it 1st came about was really something. OoT had a fun story but I liked the story in TP just a little more. TP gives you better weapons and skills, and the over all look of TP was by far better than OoT. However there is a huge difference in the consoles abilities. A little disadvanage for OoT, but OoT makes up for it in overall game worth. Navi or Midna? Midna is way better than Navi. Midna is actually useful where as Navi was just an annoince. Even the 1st time I played OoT I couldn't stand Navi. I will say one of my favorite times in any Zelda game was in the Gurudo desert in OoT. I really like your sig btw. Actually I almost want to start a new file just because of your sig. lol. But anyway OoT had a lot going for it for NPCs. You could use the masks to get them to say different things, but after the 1st time playing it I stoped doing that because it's just a waste of time. I started only going to who I need to and yeah that is pretty much what TP does from the go so I don't mind it at all. The boses could have been a little harder in TP. That's the only down side for me, but I just like to think there not easy Link is just that hardcore. lol. In the other thread someone said to move on from OoT. I disagree. They are really both great games. As for Me OoT ranks a very close 2nd to TP, and I'm looking forward to the next best hit. I don't ever think they'll be able to top Midna though.
