Remember when everyone called this game gay because it didn't have black people shooting? This is what PS2 did to the industry

>> No.9745170

wind waker bombed because there's nothing in it for zelda fans or non-zelda fans. all it has are cute graphics and if you don't care about that then the game just kinda sucks.

I remember people hating it BECAUSE of the cute graphics and also the fact that it wasn't just OOT redux. I think op might just be retarded or maybe my powerlevel was low but WW came out in 2002 on a nintendo console which everyone still associated with being kid shit. I don't remember any or atleast too many triple A games from the time were you played as a black person outside of San Andreas but that came out 2 years after WW and also on a much more widely loved platform while also being released during a time were there was a bit of a moral panic from boomers about the violence in video games giving SA a cool edge to it. Zoomers really should have to post their IDs before posting here.

Have you even played botw? You are forced to crossdress during 15% of the story. It is really gay

Just like SW episode 1, it made adults insecure about their child hobby that they had decided was fine for adults to like. So they reacted with rage and scorn to hide it.

wind waker fanboys act like they're so special for not just wanting oot again meanwhile twilight princess WAS superficially that and has one of the most mixed reputations amongst zelda fans. i think it's just a popular narrative that was never exactly true and is a convenient excuse for wind waker fanboys to not have to discuss its mediocre gameplay.

Never happened. What happened was that Nintendo showed the infamous Link vs Ganondorf trailer at Spaceworld 2000 and all the neckbeards (and probably the G4 dudebro crowd) got their panties in a twist when the game ended up looking like a cartoon in the end.

fans hated the art direction at first
the internet echo chamber didnt help

i think most people changed their minds once they actually rented/played
windwaker made the greatest hits list anon

the ps2 making slogfest shit like DMC and god of war was happening either way and is unrelated
