the internet’s first reactions to the Wind Waker reveal in 2001
I discovered an old IGN thread that started immediately after the Wind Waker was revealed at Spaceworld 2001 (aptly named “Official Zelda Bitch Thread”)
Here are the worst comments:
“I can’t believe what they did to that Zelda game, just when I was saying that nintendo caters to old school gamers, they go and make zelda look like a frigging puppet show for 5 year olds.”
“what have they done i feel so sad now thats not the joy i was wanting why why why. where is the game that i think is a real world where is my mature zelda this just not right *crawls under a rock and dies*”
“It sucks guys. It purely sucks. I don’t normally assume, but well some things in this world just suck, and this is one of em.”
“how can you people like the pictures… its like they scraped the game together using crayons…. the cube has all this power and they go and make a stupid looking Zelda game…..”
“FOR GOD’S SAKE PEOPLE HE LOOKS LIKE A REJECT FROM HEY ARNOLD OR A SIMILARLY BADLY ANIMATED PROGRAM. I WANTED MATURE, I GOT 5 YEAR OLD!”
“This games suck. God damn! I hate to u nintendo whores that say u like when inside you crying”
“OMG!!!! WTF HAPPENED?!?!?!?! Zelda looks like a little weak sissy bitch!! I just saw the movie/pics like 2 mins ago and what a pile of stinking crap! Fvck this.”
“They took Link, the flagship of the Nintendo world (Mario has long been dead from pasta overload) and turned him into a childlike girl.”
“The 2 Zelda games on the N64 were great now we get this cartoony POS!!! I wept when I saw the mutant 4yr old Link tip toeing it was straight out of as Bugs Bunny cartoon.”
“I hope that someone informs Shigeru Miyamoto about our complaints. I just hope he did this as a cruel joke and has the true Link we all know and love in development.”
“This is disgusting. I have never seen a game whose target audience is 3. Oh wait I forgot about Elmo’s magic numbers game. Nintendo has become Disney. I hate Disney, and now I hate Nintendo.”
“Miyamoto is on red-hot vodka, DAMN!!
He is on crack-whore, look at that!!!
Lack of adequate f*king from your wife does that to you, muthafat mistake–shiitt!!”
