Mega64 Flame War Theater – “Zelda Wind Waker Reaction Thread”

On a moonlight eve of 2001, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker was debuted in front of eyes around the globe… and in one unified thread, many voices cried out in agony.

I will never, ever forget the vitriol that spread throughout the internet following the reveal of The Wind Waker. Even some of my real-life friends had extremely angry reactions. Man, I can’t recall another game in Nintendo’s history that caused such a stir based on visuals alone.
