Loved Media Play. One of the first places that started getting anime/manga/Japanese products regularly before they went under and Borders started doing it.
It was THE most graphically impressive game I had experienced up until that point. WIND WAKER, METROID PRIME, and SUNSHINE all came out so close to together! The Game Cube was my system of choice that generation.
those 3 are my 3 favourite 1-player experiences on the cube and all top 10 games of all time in my book. Pure magic and at the time I couldn't believe how immersive and amazing the experiences were!
This is the first Zelda I played all the way through. I have additional nostalgia for it because I both received it and first played it on my birthday, and the game opens on Link's birthday. All the things that people complained about were things that I loved about it: the art style, the amount of sailing, the Triforce quest, etc. No other game until BotW felt like such a massive adventure.
I love videos with you and Rob. Feels like I'm hanging out with good friends everytime I watch one of these. I haven't played more than a few hours of wind waker lol perhaps one day. My backlog is asinine.
Lmao you guys are such beauties, love it!! Been watching you two kill it since the bandana days. Keep up the great work gentlemen! Also: HELL YEAH WIND WAKER!!!!!!!!!
I remember this game and these times so fondly. My sister and I used to play the hell out of it using the GBA tingle tuner thing. I've always loved the music being so bright and uplifting, perfect for an adventure!
Wind Waker's GameCube release day. It was raining. I never could forget that day, because it flooded in my neighborhood. But when I took my copy home, I played it for several weekends. Absolutely loved it My thoughts about the trailer for Wind Waker. I loved it. Something new, different, and it looked amazing. Who knew the GameCube was capable of this art style? Especially after Jet Set Radio. Cel shading fit the game perfectly.
I absolutely loved Windwaker. It was such a peaceful game and I love the music as well. Thanks for posting this video today. I think it’s great when you post videos about past games and not just current.
I played this as a 13 year old in 2003 and it was the first Zelda game that I attached myself to. It’s my favorite just off of nostalgia in my life at that time. When it released on Wii U I bought the system just because of the HD version. Only game I ever owned for a Wii U. Hope this comes out with a new HD release.
Windwaker is easily in my top Zelda games. Between the artstyle, the music, and the incredible dungeons and story it's truly an incredible game! Now I gotta replay it before Tears of the Kingdom!
Wind Waker is my favorite Zelda game. I love everything about it, the art style, the gameplay, and the world. There's so much imagination put it into it. It's such a fun, colorful, and great time. Another great episode, Johnny and Pirate Rob.
I played the original on the GC and my mind was absolutely blown. My favorite Zelda title of all time followed closely by the original A Link to the Past. I loved the story most of all with the true embrace of the hero as a tradition and the interplay between the pieces of the Triforce.
Oh man, this is definitely in my top 5 Zelda games ever, and for sure my favorite Gamecube game, so damn awesome. The visuals, sound, story and gameplay are all damn near perfect.
It's the most fun I ever had with Zelda out of all the games in the series. Botw is amazing but Wind waker was amazing and fun. It's my favorite. At 15 years old I was amazed.
I remember getting OOT and OOT Master Quest for pre ordering this game. I planned my vacation from work for the release. I also smoked cigarettes at the time, so sailing wasn't an issue. 😄 One of my favorite Zelda games.
I had a falling out with my best friend and today I talked to him for the first time in a while. It was cool to watch this video knowing your's and rob's past.
Hearing you guys reminisce about wind waker launch days is really bittersweet 😢 I was around 7-8 when wind waker released, too young to know about the controversies and didn't actually discover the game until I was 12, but I still remember when people trash-talked wind waker even into the 2010s and I was always fighting them, but now everyone praises it. So how I discovered it: my best friend at the time owned the game and was stuck in the forsaken fortress, so he gave me a chance to try the game. It was like love at first sight, I literally couldn't sleep for weeks until I had my own copy of wind waker, it was all I could think about. When my mom finally took me to my childhood gamestop and got me the game, the rest was history. I'm 27 now, and Wind waker is still my favorite video game of all time. It's also the most replayable game for me, I can't tell ya how many times I've completed it. Luigi's mansion 1 actually kept a record count for every time I finished it, I wish they'd done that with ww! And it wasn't even my first zelda! That honor belongs to ocarina of time, but wind waker was definitely my very first full playthrough. I was a broke teen without a wii u in 2013 so I didn't get to play wind waker hd (much to my suffering), but today I have it in my collection. Hard to believe you guys were around my age now when it released, hard to believe that 20 years even happened! Crazy.. wind waker is like my home away from home 💚
This video is great. My brother showed me your channel earlier this year and I start my mornings now by watching a video of yours. I am about to finish this game for the first time. This game revived my gaming spirit and has been so long since I've been this into a game. The last game that captivated me like Wind Waker was Ocarina of Time. Keep up the great work, love the channel.
I remember going to KB Toys right after school with my Grandmother right after school to get it the day it released for the gamecube. It’s a fond memory that I have with her and it became my favorite Zelda game
WW is one of my favorite games of all time. I remember the whole excitement before, I remember the moment I changed my mind about the graphics. The main title screen is still my favorite zelda music piece of all time, in fact, I love that soundtrack even more than OOT. While the latter game was monumental and blew my mind and still live rent-free in my mind, WW shaped me as a gamer. There is so much nostalgia for me around that one. My friend and I were so excited for it, picking the game, obsessing over the box. The gamecube may not have been the best console, but that period of gaming history remains my favorite because so many major games and events happened during those days. It was such an exciting era for gaming.
I loved hearing your "older" perspective on this. My first Zelda game was OoT, so Windwaker was a departure for me. For you both, it was a return home. Never thought of that!
Man, I was 10 when this came out and I got this on my bday and played all the way from the beginning until Dragon Roost. That was the first time I "tested" a new game and got carried away because it was so good. Also the little things about this game that make it so damn charming: Link's sneaky face when sidling, the metal gear stealth section, the comedy, the farting pigs, running away from snot boy, and the fact that you can pick up enemy weapons, etc. The music and gameplay also were great. They knocked it out of the park and made one of the most replayable and timeless Zelda games in the series.
Me and all my friends ended up loving and playing the crap out of Wind Waker. It was the right time, and we were the right age and it was kind of magic. Good times.
I was 8 and it made a big impression. I knew about earlier entries in The Legend of Zelda. The bokoblins in that blue dusky fortress manning the searchlights was really cool. Forest Haven marked another highlight. I was familiar with the Deku Tree and how intriguing was it to see him in a new form. The nods to Ocarina of Time throughout the journey in Wind Waker were understood to me. To this day the ocean and the islands from the game have gotten into me in a deep way, still having dreams sometimes about them. I'm enjoying the channel.
I was only 12 at the time, so maybe the graphics didn't bother me because I was actually the targeted audience for this kind of graphics, but I just loved everything about the game almost immediately. Sure, I was a bit surprised when I first saw it because of how different it looked from OoT and MM but it didn't take me long to get used to it. To this day it's one of the games I remember most fondly.
One of my favourite games of all time. I remember playing through this shortly after its release with my gf at the time. We stayed up all night playing. It was such an amazing adventure and I absolutely LOVED the art style. Finally ditching the boring style of Ocarina of time and MM and back to the happy, colorful and simply wonderful style I had grown to love. A classic. Can’t wait to play through it with my son.
I was honestly disappointed in the trailer for five minutes and then I watched it again and got excited. To this day I love this game so much. I loved how long the boat rides took. That song is so soothing and nice and seeing a tiny island in the distance slowly getting bigger built so much anticipation and wonder for what you’ll end up finding there.
I remember a friend telling me about it. Besides that any picture or info I got was from Nintendo power and then one day it came with one of my Nintendo power magazine subscriptions and became one of my favorite games of all time.
At first when Wind Waker was revealed I was a little apprehensive especially after seeing the Zelda Gamecube tech demo with a lean more towards the Ocarina of Time look. After seeing the game in motion and how expressive Link was, I was sold and fell in love with the game.
I have so many fond memories of Windwaker. I loved how expressive Link was in that game. I know a lot of people did not like the sailing, but I found it relaxing and I just admired the music and scenery. The remaster is by far one of the best I have every played. I have played that countless times and it never gets old.
I never finished it on the GameCube. The sailing took a long time. But now I'm ready to play it again on the GameCube. But I agree, the sailing was so relaxing, which is part reason why it was taking me a long time :)
Can’t remember where but I remember reading or watching something prior to release that showed how Links legs and feet were modelled to stand correctly on any angled surface and line up properly with steps. The nerd in me loved that attention to detail. A random memory I always have with WW. A Wonderful game from a wonderful time in gaming.
I remember getting this game on a Sunday, I bought the Brady game guide too. I woke up at 6am to play the game on a Monday before school started and then I was lucky enough to find out that it was a snow day!
I remember being a bit shocked on the style when first seeing it but after trying out a demo I totally loved it. Just like Johnny said, the smoke effects and all those little touches really went a long way.
It brings such a pleasant "awww" feeling into my heart thinking about Windwaker. I was happy back than. And yes after OoT i was turned off at first by the looks, but within seconds i just fell in love with the game. It was one of the loveliests experiences i ever had as a gamer!
What a trip! Your personal stories really tie the video clips and technical points together. Never heard of "Celda" before today lol. But, it was a game that people had reservations about, however if you're like me, after playing you came away with another solid, happy, Zelda experience! (Wish they'd bring the HD version to Switch.)
I loved this game so much when I got it on GameCube. The art style is fantastic and to this day still holds up. I'd never played the Wii U version and would love Nintendo to port it to switch.
My first time seeing TWW screenshots was in some Nintendo magazine in September 2001. I started learning Japanese a couple months before the game's original release, and TWW was the first video game I actually got to read and play in its original Japanese... with a dictionary... staying up all night looking up words... I don't think I could muster the energy nowadays.
I remember walking into my friends room and he was playing this game, I was mind blown by the cel shaded graphics and knew right away I was gonna play and love this game!
I remember the time when I first saw Wind Waker. I was put off by the more cutesy look of the game as it look like Zelda was going more grittier and Link was older in Ocarina of Time. Years later, I played a demo of the game and was blown away by how the visuals looked in motion and with all of the effects like smoke and fire. That changed my perception and during that time when the Wii was out, Gamecube console and games were very cheap to buy so I got the Gamecube for $30 and got Wind Waker used from Craigslist for $10. What an experience this game was. The visual style makes the game age gracefully, the controls were amazing like you said, it introduced a lot into the series. The only thing missing was that there wasn't that much story going on and it seemed like a world that could've had more going on (which was probably explored in the handheld games).
That opening song in Windwaker was such a magical opening to a Zelda game. I will always cherish this game.
Both the intro to WW and OoT are nostalgia filled and give me a sense of wonder that only games like BotW and Elden Ring can provide now.
I still use it as my alarm signal every morning :)
This is the best one piece game
Its always great to see Rob Man in a video
Damn right! Rob's the man!
The most beautiful part of this video is the fact that you're friends again after having a little falling out. So good to see!
Hard to believe it's been 20 years. I remember going into Media Play and reserving my copy. It also came with a bonus Ocarina Of Time for Gcube.
Geez, media play. That’s a name I haven’t heard in a whole. I forgot all about it.
Loved Media Play. One of the first places that started getting anime/manga/Japanese products regularly before they went under and Borders started doing it.

Yesss!! Rob, great to see you. Hope you’re feeling better man. Great video, Johnny.
What an amazing game! The Wii U remaster is absolutely incredible, best version in my opinion.
Swift sail ftw
Agreed! The fact that isn’t on the Switch yet is a crime
To bad in a few days the game’s getting delisted from the Eshop along with tp hd

A Masterpiece still to this day, i finished it recently again with my daugter ❤
one of my absolute favorites. it's just so unique and the music is incredible. would kill for a console sequel in this world
Lmao you guys are such beauties, love it!! Been watching you two kill it since the bandana days. Keep up the great work gentlemen! Also: HELL YEAH WIND WAKER!!!!!!!!!

7:14 - that meme was on the top at E3 when Nintendo was talking about PAC Man, and on the bottom it was the Twilight Princess reveal
Let's goooooooo. Hope everyone is doin well. Winderwaker is dope. Is there anybody else who wishes all jon and rob vids were an hour long? Hah
Every single time haha
Rob looks awesome 😎
You guys look more and more like anime villains as time goes on, in the best way possible. Love the jackets, love the commentary

I had a falling out with my best friend and today I talked to him for the first time in a while. It was cool to watch this video knowing your's and rob's past.
I played both versions of the game and I still love it to this day. Always a pleasure
I’m not the biggest Zelda fan myself, but I love Wind Waker to bits. A lot of great memories playing it on my little 11” tube TV when I was 10.
Hey, been watching for years and just wanted to say I love your content!

Glad ur both still good friends now. It can be hard to speak up in a friendship & go over any wrongs that were done😓
Yes Robman!!!!
Yes Rob

Old school anime with Rob!

I have played every Zelda, multiple times. But I think I come back to this one the most, so much magical charm
The game cube was amazing for me. I was 13-14 yrs old. What an era ☺️

Nintendo should have the same team that did the Metroid Prime remaster work on Wind Waker. That would be amazing.

Love the way rob dresses up for videos its great love this channel so much
Can’t remember where but I remember reading or watching something prior to release that showed how Links legs and feet were modelled to stand correctly on any angled surface and line up properly with steps. The nerd in me loved that attention to detail. A random memory I always have with WW. A Wonderful game from a wonderful time in gaming.
I remember getting this game on a Sunday, I bought the Brady game guide too.
I woke up at 6am to play the game on a Monday before school started and then I was lucky enough to find out that it was a snow day!

Loved it, great enemies and Bossbattles and artstyle … loved the forrest dungeon with the wind mechanixs high up in the trees
