**MINOR SPOILERS WITHIN**

My opinions on WW: The graphics & animation are FANTASTIC. Their attention to detail is astonishing. He actually walks up the stairs, one foot in front of the other. Standing on a hill, one foot is higher than the other (not floating or sunken into the earth like in some games).

I liked OOT when it came out, but playing the freebie disc that came with the WW preorder, it sure is ugly. Way too dark (even after they lightened it up), blurry, and the controls are kind of iffy. Gameplay is too slow, almost to the point of tedium.

In WW it's fun just to run around and cut grass. It is the most attractive video game I have ever played. I remember how MYST blew me away when it came out years ago... WW is doing that again. The graphics here are so smooth and organic that Metroid Prime looks veritably CHUNKY (and I loved MP's graphics).

I do share some complaints with ya'll... the game seemed too short. There should have been more dungeons. There should have been more creatures/enemies. The side quests should have been more important to the plot (more should be required to beat the game).

I hope they make the next game with the exact same graphics engine. Kind of like they did with Majora's Mask on the N64. Just spend their entire budget on plot development, new characters, new dungeons. Hopefully maintain some of the boating/ocean environment but add a big mass of land to run around... It was such a shock when I finally got to see Hyrule. Even though you are constrained to the path, the sight of endless plains and mountains was inspiring.
