This is such a refreshing video and I'm glad I could help out on the soundtrack!
Wow that's awesome!
I really enjoyed the background music! It Def gave it a unique feel than other videos like this.
Great music!!!
Wow dude that's awesome
@@christianr.938 Thanks!
My siblings had the demo and they never actually finished it. I really wish we had the full game
Go download dolphin emulator and find a website to "borrow" a wind walker gamecube rom
@@Whickerx7 What if Strange Tom isint a dirty pirate like you? Also this is the Wii U version of the game and not the Wii or GameCube version so he'd need to have either a strong enough computer in the first place or failing that, getting the console and game itself altogether.
@@mischiefthedegenerateratto7464 Get off your high horse. No matter how you get it Nintendo probably still isn't getting money for an old game on a dead console. People like you probably get mad that you can download dreamcast games off the internet.
This is such a refreshing video and I am glad to see you tackle this game. Sublime choice of music for the video.
Now that’s awesome way to start The Best Ever ones. I’ll like to see more of this please.
This game came out the week I was on my death bed with E.coli. I was only 9 and it got me through the 2 weeks I was sick. I’ll never hate on it I wanna play it on the switch!! If you haven’t played it, do it. It’s really fun
Rumours has it that Wind waker HD is releasing in the switch
Didn't twilight princess come out on GameCube too?
For once, Shane didnt lose his sanity
Ah, yes. The Wind Waker...the game I never managed to beat....good times! But seriously, it is great
man this looks infinitely more interesting than skyward sword that they ported
Yay! A positivity series!
I guess I'm one of the few who isn't impatient or picky. Cause I loved the game on GameCube.
This will probably be the series that allows Shane's sanity
Yes
Absolutely
I like the Best Ever Series but I wish Shane/Rerez brought back the Positives/Negatives series.
Did Shane ever talked about bringing it back?
@@kenterminateddq5311 he said on discord that every positive/negative series basically lost him money every time he created a new video
Yeah
You deserve to play a good game after enough suffering from bad games.
Agreed
Amen for that
Cant wait for the bethesda series.
"It just works."
...what Bethesda games can you confidently say that about?
Oh gawd, are you two trolls or seriously this dense?
I laughed, it was a joke.
Well done OP. Combining the best tag line from this channel with the three words that made Todd Howard sound even sillier than Peter Molyneux.
Shane, seriously no joke here. My wife was trying to find a new game to play, like 5 minutes ago. And we narrowed it down to Wind Waker HD. She popped the game in and I open TH-cam 5 minutes later and this video is the first one on my feed.
Google/TH-cam knew you bought it... :o
@@QunMang I bought it probably 5 years ago. My backlog is...a bit ridiculous
Your phone overheard your convo!
@@KieranCrown They are always listening...
Something else rather ingenious with the release of Wind Waker HD on WiiU was the fact that a lot of what you mentioned with the Game Pad was ported over from the original game. The original game did allow for seeing maps and other stuff, but you were required to have a GBA hooked up to the GameCube via the GC link cable. Not everyone had that handy, and it even cut you off from some specific content that you could only access if you had those items handy. The WiiU's Game Pad pretty much completely removes such an arbitrary limitation, making it just a part of the game outright.
I did fine playing WW HD with the pro controller. Occasionally pausing the game was a decent trade off from having to hold that bulky, uncomfortable, short-battery life gamepad.
@@fattiger6957 The gamepad definitely isn't uncomfortable, at least not for me. I'd argue and say it's probably one of the more comfortable controllers I've used.
But i guess this is coming from someone who actually likes the og xbox duke controller.
I see, this series is a therapy for Shane
Stranded in the middle of the sea with just a little boat.
Link: Sounds like a blast.
RAFT players: Are you challenging me?!
Cause IT IS .
@@flappyjay_gaming Yes, because IT Looks BETTER!
It's nice to see that Wind Waker gets some love, as the game while not being perfect has so many good points like the open world, part of the story and the aesthetic
Speaking of The Wind Waker being slightly not perfect but still an excellent GameCube/Wii U game along with The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Super Monkey Ball 1 & 2, the Bayonetta duology, Donkey Kong Country 5: Tropical Freeze, Super Mario 3D World, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Luigi’s Mansion 1, Mario Kart 8 (except for more Peach clones than just Pink Gold Peach), Super Mario Maker 1, Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, Metroid Prime 1 & 2 (Metroid Prime 3 rocks, but it is a Wii game, and I’m only including the consoles that came before and after it chronologically, at least for now), Splatoon, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Mario Party 4-6 (7 is fun, but can also be frustrating at times), Ikaruga, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, Pac-Man World 2, Starfox Assault, Super Mario Odyssey, Sonic Mega Collection, Mario Power Tennis, the Pikmin trilogy, The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures, F-Zero GX (also by Amusement Vision), Kirby Air Ride, Nintendo Puzzle Collection and etc...
Shane Luis could at some point do *The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (GameCube/Wii U) - Negatives - Rerez* and here are the predictions of what the usual/almost-always 4 negatives are gonna be in this video.
1. Sluggish Sailing Segments (GC)
2. The Tingle Bottle
3. The Triforce Hunt (GC)
4. It Was Criticized for Bullcrap Reasons (re: “They made the Zelda characters look too cartoonish! 🤮🤬😭” when that’s part of what made The Wind Waker amazing, especially the HD version which might get a Replace score when ExoParadigmGamer does a Remake or Rebreak on The Wind Waker)
2:20 - the thing that still sticks with me about ToonLink is how EFFORTLESSLY expressive he is... I mean, really, most of the rest of the Link's are just a bland 'insert yourself' character - but ToonLink has such a vivid and expressive personality despite having virtually NO dialogue lol
Finally we don't see rerez go crazy!
Wind Waker on GameCube was my first Zelda game and I actually liked the base sailing speed. Unless you really wanted to get somewhere, it was relaxing for the most part.
Wow, same here. I may have played a little bit of Oracle of Ages, but this is basically my first true experience with the series.
Wind Waker has my fav art style of all the Zelda games.
Mine too, i Like this Style. Its also my favorite Minecraft texture Pack Style.
its super cringe that some people hate the art style.
I loved Wind Waker. I really did. It had it's problems. Then Wind Waker HD happened. I fell in love all over again. And those bug bears I had? Gone. All of them. That beautiful, timeless art style? Perfected. It's my favourite 3D Zelda game.
It's been a while since I've heard you give a positive review about something, is not as funny as "It's just bad" but is alot more passionate and emotional GJ
Heh. I love the documentary style. I also suppose this is the new positives series, while the worst ever is the new negatives.
This is actually a really nice change of pace. Don’t get me wrong, I love the “Worst Ever” series and “Just Bad Games” series (both you and Adam leave me howling with laughter quite often), but it feels really good to hear some positivity every now and then. It’s a reminder that there are still good games to experience, especially if someone already had so they can replay years later with perhaps a different outlook (and console) than when initially played.
Wind Waker is a great game. I was one of the folks that enjoyed sailing between islands and was really glad for the speed and the ability to see the map on the Wii U version. Plus it has one of my favorite Ganondorf fights! Looking forward to more of this series. I absolutely love JBG and Worst Ever, and this is a nice contrast to those series. I know plenty have said it, but it feels like an evolution of Positives and Negatives, which were already two things I loved about this channel. You guys are great, keep it up!
Shane recording this video: finally, *_sanity restored_*
This game has some of my favorite art direction in any game ever made, if only more Zelda games used its style.
The big, mainline Zelda games have seemed to settle on the anime character style. That's how it's been from TP to SS to BotW. If they keep making side games like the Link's Awakening remake, those will be where they experiment with other art styles.
I was one of those jerks that didn't buy it over the style back on the Gamecube. I have regretted that choice later in life. While I think the art style is a legitimate issue for some and Nintendo shouldn't have done the Space World promo reel to get peoples hopes up.......Wind Waker is a still a great game. Each Zelda game/adventure has their strengths and weaknesses, it is up to the game to find which titles is their favorite.
I've always loved this game's title screen music. It sounds very Irish and Celtic and I love that culture.
I love Windwaker, Twilight Princess, and Skyward Sword, and I thoroughly enjoyed nearly every other Zelda game. The only installment that was ever dissapointing for me was Breath of the Wild. Nintendo's cash hungry bid to appeal to the soulless open world model just lost something essential in transition for me.
I really want my children to experience this game. So many hours of traversing the sea, finding little gems along the way. It's the best.
I really enjoyed Wind Waker, aside from all that sailing. Watching Powerpuff Link crack open a treasure chest with a look of wonder on his face is one of the series' most endearing moments. And that "crouching tiger, hidden elf" battle with Ganondorf? Brilliant.
Now Twilight Princess, the one with the more realistic graphics everybody seemed to want, that was a disappointment for me.
TP and skyward sword were amazing games, But just OK zelda games.
This video felt like sitting down in a comfortable chair with a nice soft blanket after being on your feet all day.
The legend of zelda windwaker will be favorite childhood games of all time i believe it was one of the first game that i finished
I like this new series but I wish Shane/Rerez brought back the Positives/Negatives series.
Did Shane ever talked about bringing it back?
MAKE THIS A SERIES.
"Cube based gaming devices"
That's one for the books...
A ton of things could happen when sailing across the ocean and after that you could just teleport.
Maybe it is nostalgia but I never felt like it took forever.
Idk I kinda liked the fact that there were 8 triforce share to find. It really drove home the fact that you were exploring hunting for stuff, instead of being hand held
I've been playing through the Zelda series in release order, and it seems to me that Wind Waker is the title where Nintendo really embraced (or at least made obvious) the various games all being tied together. Throughout the game, there are numerous explicit references to Ocarina of Time, but I wonder if the 8 shards thing could have been a reference to the original Legend of Zelda, where your goal was to collect the 8 pieces of the Triforce.
A lot of your points are just that they made it easier. I agree with the sailing being excessive but other than that I thought it was incredible.
I thought the best ever was going to be console related , and that Wind waker would be a part of the " it's just good " series
ScrewAttack approves
RIP
Don't forget the Windwaker sequels on the DS: Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks.
And yes, I know that people love to hate Phantom Hourglass for being "too easy" when compared to other Legend of Zelda games. BUT, the game makes great use of the stylus, touchscreen, microphone, and there is even a puzzle that involves closing and re-opening the DS in the middle of the game.
I wonder how many people (like me) solved that puzzle accidentally, by closing their DS in frustration only to reopen it later to find the puzzle solved. XD
Hey Shane, I really dig this new series you call The Best Ever. I'd love to see you continue it.
Even though I disagree a fair amount, its hard to keep a negative mindset when faced with someone who has such passion for something I see as being so flawed.
Fantastic Video. I wish more people appreciated videogames like this.
Too bad you never talked about the tingle bottles. Before Nintendo pulled that service you were able to pick up bottles from the water and read what others have said and make your own and throw them in the water while you're still sailing. It was just another thing you could do out on the water with the Wii U.
I actually haven't played many Zelda games. My first was The Wind Waker HD, as a free download for my console. The other was a Link to the Past on the SNES Mini. So I don't know much about the franchise compared to a lot of people. But playing The Wind Waker HD made me understand the hype (though I used a guide out of paranoia of missing out on anything important).
Still haven't played Wind Waker. Maybe if Nintendo puts in as part of a collection on Switch, I'll get it.
That's reasonable, considering the Gamecube and Wii U combined only sold about 1/3 of what the Switch has in 4 years. But yeah, WW and TP HD deserve another chance on the Switch.
I'm not gonna lie, I would prefer the HD remake than the Gamecube release, in fact, the Wii U version is more great than the original Gamecube (which has flaws, but it wasn't totally bad). Overall, the whole game, is actually very good (the plot, mechanics, etc.) regardless of which version to ever play.
Now I wanna buy wind waker hd because of this video!
Still in the waiting room for a Wind Waker HD port to Switch.
I bought a backwards compatible Wii because I really didn't want a WiiU for a handful of games when the Wii and gamecube had more. On my first OG WindWaker playthrough, I was literally playing Majora's Mask 3D while sailing in wind waker. I wish they could at least put the HD games on Switch though.
I really enjoyed Windwaker when it came out. To the point where I did everything in it. And I'm not a "Completionist" by any stretch. While Nintendo did right with the remake, Sony dropped the ball in a huge way by not keeping the original battle system from Final Fantasy VII. Windwaker is an example of how you do a remake.
2:48 Like Earthbound on SNES, I really wonder if people played the game before talking about it... Sailing takes a lot of time but at the begining, you are an explorer, it makes sense. This is on purpose. Exploration is even rewarded (not enough, maybe but it is). And before it becomes old, you get the ability to teleport... Walking takes a lot of time in Breath of the Wild... Shooting takes a lot of time in Call of Duty... Kicking the ball takes a lot of time in FIFA21...
Wind Waker was actually my first Zelda game. Did you know that early in development, Link was supposed to grow up over the course of the story?
I think the criticism against the NGC version are exaggerated, at the time those little rough spots didn't really phase me much. Today I guess smoothing out the creases is necessary and actually good, but there was something about the slower sailing and difficulty in times events, and checking my map, which were engrossing.
The only true flaw is the lack of content. I wish HD added the planned islands and such, but alas.
While far from my favorite Zelda, I did have this one on the Gamecube and played it and find it to be really quite enjoyable and it is great (and this Link is probably one of the more badass ones especially in regards to that final battle, same with Zelda too)
Have the Wii U version and the Gamepad makes it so much more enjoyable then the Gamecube version. That Nintendo Gallery in the original was too tedious, frustrating and awful, and in the Wii U version it's doable even fun! I am partial to Majora's Mask and Twilight Princess, but I don't hate any of the normal Nintendo based Zeldas. Some I just like more than others!
Sounds like Wind Waker HD did a similar thing to Majora's Mask on 3DS, in that both fix some of the more frustrating aspects of the games as well as improving the textures. That's how you make HD remakes worth buying imo
I honestly never had any issue with the slow sailing speed, at least on the GameCube. Gave me time to look around. On the Wii U, however, I must get that Swift Sail after a while.
Not going to lie, I was one of those that dismissed it as a little kids game after a 1st sitting and didn’t give it the attention it deserved. I got my GameCube late in its life for Resident Evil 4, and the RE-make after all, y’know, ‘grown up’ games :/ . I’m so glad I gave it another shot when the special addition Wii U was available for a little extra cost than the regular one. I loved it after giving it a 2nd play, all those years later. It’s easily in my top 3 Zelda games
I remember seeing the proof of concept video for the game cube, and because of that when I had initially seen screenshots for wind Waker I admit I was ticked off.
Because it had looked like such a downgrade.
But, I also wasn’t picky. A new legend of Zelda game is still a new legend of Zelda game. So I got it on the game cube, and even though it’s slower in the sailing department then it would eventually become the sailing aspect was still my favorite part of the game even when it was slow it still felt like you were sailing across the great ocean.
And when I got a Wii U it was a special Zelda edition that came bundled with a digital download of wind Waker HD.
Wind Waker is a funny game to me because when I told people it was one of my favorite all time games, they assumed I was a Zelda fan. I'm not. The other games were ok to me, but WW felt so unique and its sailing being my favorite aspect.
I really like the explorartion of BotW but, as mentioned, it's not the same as sailing the seas.
This would sell like hot cakes if it came out on Switch, even without the game-pad-as-map feature.
And I'm sure Nintendo knows this!
I remember at one point Windwaker HD being offered for free on the Wii U. That’s when I got my copy.
And it comes with a limited edition Gamepad. Black with Great Sea Hylian covering the edges and the symbol of the Hyrulean Royal Family underneath the NFC sensor. And all that's in gold! I only know because I'm holding one right now.
I was disappointed with the art style when I first saw it. Took five minutes on the demo disc to completely change my mind. The flaws the HD version fixes are great, but they were honestly flaws I never had a problem with.
You know what's missing? Shane angrily saying "IT'S.JUST.GOOD!" at the end.
Rerez talking about something good??? This is a miracle! Hallelujah! The glory days are back again! Great video!
The funny thing is Nintendo could easily do the map on the other screen again on the say the phone. Just have the Nintendo map connect and use a code that’s on the game and to the phone. So think of Breath of the wild connect to your phone and have the sheika slate sound effect as you look around
YES! I know they won't be as popular, but I hope to see way more new Best Ever videos :-)
Having seen your "Worst Ever" series, it's nice to see you have a "Best Ever" series, which hopefully is helpful for dealing with the drek out there.
Nintendo released Wind Waker on GameCube: Fans feel jipped.
Valve released Team Fortress 2 on GameCube: Fans feel jipped?
Rerez: It's the best Zelda game ever.
Me: But I don't like sailing.
Rerez: Oh, then it's the worst Zelda game ever then.
Thank you Rerez. Best ever is a nice idea but not as entertaining as worst ever because of the fun factor to me but thank you
I love the concept as a counterpoint to your worst ever series. Good work gents!
This game brings back many memories. It got me to absolutely fall in love with open world games
I have been searching for that grid like exploration since.
Imagine if they made a series called “Just good games”
It's the basic Zelda cycle. Every time Nintendo does a drastic change to the series, it isn't until the next one comes out that the previous one is looked make on in a better light.
Finally! Someone finally agrees with me on how fantastic Wind Waker (and Wind Waker HD) is!
I was never a fan of wind waker, but I am swayed. I'll probably be trying to do a deal on a WiiU at the pawn shop as soon as I get out of bed and put on some pants...
Hmm i dont remember having much trouble in the gamecube one was upset looking up how to beat the first boss.but hd sounded fun.
Love the video.
Too bad something being good dosen' allow the level of comedy that something that is trash does. But still realy good.
i know this "probably" wont happen (its up to them to do so if they wish) but would love to see their thoughts on the devil may cry series
Damn vid is too short
Love those 20-30 minutes vids y'all sometimes upload
I was playing wind waker about a month ago with the GBA link cable, the tingle tuner!!
Really liked this first episode! Hope to see more in the future!
was wondering how long until you're tired of talking about the worst ever games and consoles and a series like this would start
Why the wii u is the last of the best true Nintendo consoles I can go on wii u eshop get generations of games to play i go on switch eshop and get shovelware
I think when Zelda is known for water levels no one likes, tell people Wind Waker is one big water level isn't a good idea.
Shane actually reviewing a GOOD game?! What manner of insanity is this?
Why am I a bit proud that I own one of the 13 mil Wii U consoles from the world? 😅
Photorealistic CGI will look like crap in ten or twenty years. A really awesome cartoon will always look like a really awesome cartoon.
You know the game is good from the thumbnail when the character doesn't looks constipated
Glad Shane is doing something relaxing for once
Good to see Shane gushing over games he likes. After all of those horrific ones, he deserves it lol
i still own the gamecube version ...the only gamecube game that survived
I really like this type of video, although I miss him raging 😆😂
