I've played it, it's very very Twilight Princess, but the art style and mechanics do a good job of making it stand out. Really pretty game even on the PS2 nowadays.

This game is overrated and Kamiya is a hack game designer. He was clearly in way over his head trying to design a full fledged 3D Zelda style adventure.
Every """"""puzzle"""""" is explained so fucking plainly that I honestly wonder if the game was meant for actual 6 year old Japanese children to be their first video game.

Any version is fine, I don't think any ports changed anything and none of them have performance issues.

[Anonymous No.7456567]

I put like 50 hours in it then took a break and ended up not touching it ever again, this is was 5 or 6 years ago.

The game is gorgeous, the music is great and wandering around to check out the landscapes and towns feels great but it lacks something.

I have to play it again one of these days but I remember that there was too much text and fighting was baby-tier easy. I only had trouble in one fight during the entire 50 hours I put into it and that was Ninetails.

I think it's just too niche for its own good. I absolutely adored it, every second. But I can see how given it's length that someone not fully into it would get bored and annoyed long before the end.

As a huge Zelda fan, I always wanted to play this. I was so happy when it came to the Wii.

Never finished it.

Many years later, I saw it on discount on the Switch shop. Bought it again...

Still having trouble finishing it.

I thought really hard as to why. The truth is, it's a pretty nice game. But it interrupts gameplay at every opportunity possible. If it isn't Issun, it's some other stupid cutscene. Worse, story segments never get to the point and go on and on and on. Also, it's extremely easy. My health has never been less than half at any point in the game.

Still, beautiful game with some nice mechanics.

It looks pretty much the same on everything beyond the overbearing, blurry ink shading and effects it's a fairly low detail game. Xbox had a far smaller userbase, to a ridiculous extent in Japan. How would this have elevated its status to classic in any way?

The Wii version is missing some things, like there's supposed to be a paper filter on the screen but it's gone. And a cute credits sequence at the end is missing. And certain areas have framerate issues.
But it lets you draw with the pointer, which is really good. And it supports 480p widescreen.

You should play one of the HD versions if you can.

It's neat but stretched to the point of snapping. Oh wow another feudal nip village, oh wow effortless spammy combat the whole way through, tons of boring dialogue, unskippable cutscenes, and tons of jiggy-tier collection via feeding animals and restoring plants. The shading and filters look nice but it makes everything look real samey. I think later versions have more skips/speedups, but even with those the game's so badly in need of fat trimming.

I think Kamiya is one of the most overrated auteurs in existence.

His best game, Resident Evil 2, had to be rebooted mid development because his first attempt was so poor.
Devil May Cry is whatever. It gave us a ton of dial a combo knockoff garbage
Viewtiful Joe has an amazing concept, but has the worst camera in existence and character designs that are counter intuitive to the game design
I've tried started Okami several times, but never make it more than a few hours. It's just so fucking boring and uncompelling
Bayonetta is just Dial a Combo trash pt. 2
Wonderful 101 is Dial a Combo trash pt 3, but this time with Okami's drawing gimmick

By Zelda standards? Consider that Ocarina of Time, the gold standard for 3D adventure games, will take most people around 12-16 hours on a first playthrough to complete depending on how much side content they do. Further playthroughs will likely fall into the 8-14 range.
Okami being well over 60 hours long is fucking INSANE for the standards of this genre.
