FAMITSU SCORES ZELDA

The influential Japanese publication falls over itself to heap praise on Miyamoto's latest classic

12:42 The Legend of Zelda: Kaze no Takuto has received a perfect score from the notoriously harsh review team of Japanese publication, Famitsu. Each of the four reviewers gave a score of ten-out-of-ten for the GameCube title, giving a 40/40 score for only the fourth time in the publication's history. (Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64), Soul Calibur (DC) and Vagrant Story are the other three.)
This is great news for Western gamers, patiently waiting to play GameCube's biggest title so far, and it seems The Wind Waker (as it will be known over here) is perssing all the right buttons.

With the game out in Japan tomorrow, we'll bring you extensive impressions of this landmark title very, very soon.

Famitsu reviews The Legend of Zelda: Kaze no Takuto… don’t be surprised
Posted: 2002-12-11 By Elias Dounis

Well, The Legend of Zelda: Kaze no Takuto is days away from its release and that means the reviews are in. Just like its predecessor, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Kaze no Takuto (name for US release will be “The Wind Waker&#8221 has received a perfect score of a 40 out of 40, receiving a 10 from each reviewer. Not only is this an amazing feat but Kaze no Takuto has become the fourth video game in history to get a perfect score in Famistu with the other three being, Soul Calibur, Vagrant Story, and of course Ocarina of Time.

For those who doubted this game’s greatness, all I have to say to you is “Eat my shorts!”

Here's the translation of review:

10
The feeling of excitement and impact this game provokes is as prominent as, if not moreso than, Ocarina of Time. It feels very new, while still maintaining the Zelda atmosphere. The feeling of realism is taken to a new level, yet it feels refreshingly different thanks to the unique animation. Game expression of a new dimension is here. The story begins developing quickly and travelling becomes a very important part of the game. Gameplay is also very firm - It is intense, and playing is the only way to experience it.

10
The method of expression, game atmosphere and characteristics, and fantastic production work together to perform a chemical reaction that is something of a miracle. It is obvious that the main goal of this game is to present to the gamer an excellent form of entertainment and fun. But it is also pleasant to carry out your objectives. The player cannot help but fall in love with this world - it is everything you think it cannot possibly be.

10
Though some people were a bit skeptical of the animation and art style, when you play, you will forget your fears. The expression of the characters, such as the movement of their eyes, will allow you to understand the intended feeling and take you by the hand. You will be emotionally touched, and at times you will feel the urge to cry. The puzzles and battles are sometimes quite difficult, and it is a very rewarding experience.

10
Joy, anger, grief, and happiness are woven throughout each event; they are felt during the puzzle-solving, and they are conveyed through each facial expression. And the feelings build as the game unfolds little by little. Quite like the child who plays a game for the very first time, your heart will be shaken. The way the game is designed, new players (and old fans alike) will be able to effortlessly pick up the controller and be engulfed in the experience without giving it a second thought.

40/40

Vois ottaa thread silmän käteen olikin täällä jo aijemin tarkkuutta tarkkuutta.

Tuossa linkki korvaukseksi "turhasta" hiiren klikkauksesta.
kannattaa katsoa ja lukea Zeldan juonesta, on erittäin mielenkiintoista luettavaa (myös uusille pelaajille) Antaa monin verroin paremman käsityksen koko zeldan maailmasta ja yksittäisten zelda pelien liittymisistä toisiinsa (olet sitten zelda guru tai noviisi). kertoo esimerkiksi hyrulen luomisesta, canonin ja golden landin synnystä ja esim siitä että link hahmoja on useampia jotka ovat toistensa jälkeläisiä...MUST READ (vaiva on ollut tekiöillä valtava ja tätä kattavampaa tietoa/mielenkiintoisempaa luettavaa ei tämän threadin klikkaajille voi olla) joten sinne vain kasvattamaan nälkää ja auttamaan The Wind Waker:n odotusta.

IGN:llä oli hienoja videoita mm. pelin valikosta, introsta ja dojon miekkataisteluosuudesta. Plus vielä skannaukset ohjekirjasta. The net is a beautiful thing, no?
