Miyamoto Says Wind Waker Was Boring

Eurogamer has a talk with Shigeru Miyamoto, maker of the Legend of Zelda series, where he reveals frustrations with The Wind Waker. From the article: "At the end of the production we fought against the clock and there were parts that I was forced to approve even though it didn't feel complete...I apologise that we didn't fix the triforce hunt at the end of the game. It was slow and dull." Seems like designers slagging their old games is a growing trend.

    I completely disagree with your trashing of all 3d games. Mario 64 and the two Zelda games on the N64 stand as three of the best games of all time, an opinion I share with a great majority of the gaming community. To claim that these games are all just clones of Tomb Raider is... just inconcievable.

    Same thing for Metroid Prime. I'm a huge fan of the original 2d metroid games, and MP completely and utterly nails the feel of those games. It's an incredible game (MP2 is great as well), and more than worthy as the current bearer of the metroid standard.

    To claim that it's "just another FPS" is simply bizarre.
