Personally, I liked the game, but shortness was definatly a problem. Increasing the game length by 'looking for treasure' does not an interesting experience make.
The cartoon graphics were good(with the exception of Link and Gannon, who looked terrible), but they shouldn't have been done in a Zelda game. The first Zelda game I played was OoT, and I always saw it as more a serious fantasy theme. This was just ridiculous. Sure, it looked good, but it should have been it's own game, not a Zelda one.

How can you say he looked awful after the goddamn pig in a S&M gear that was Ganon previously?

As regards Zelda, although I really don't know the games, I've always liked how Nintendo made Link the only left-handed game character in the history of the universe. As a fellow lefty, I rather thought it was about fucking time. He was even a southpaw in the only experience I ever had with him, and I instantly came to the conclusion that he fucking ROCKED. Actually, although it seems laughable, I would add said LCD game to the list of my favourite games of all time. It took HOURS to complete. Yes, you could actually complete it, compared to most game and watch things where you play the same level over and over again forever. And the gameplay was incredibly in depth compared to most LCD games, in most of them all you do is move left and right, catching/avoiding things.
And by the way, I see you also picked up the curse of HTML Rhubarb. I'm so so sorry If somehow I managed to pass it on. Please don't throw me off these boards like the horrible leper I am.

You probably needed to refresh your browser. I know I had to when I got home (I posted this topic at school).

Are Mario and Zelda the only games that still use the tired old cliche of "rescue the hapless female"? I was glad when that trend more or less died out. The only other (more or less) recent game I can think off that includes this is MGS, and that rocked so much I was prepared to forgive it.

She was damn cool. She was a pirate queen from generations of pirate queens. She could have kicked Link's arse 100 different ways if she'd wanted, and would have been a much better choice to wield the sword and take on Ganon. She was fair and liberal, but still insulted Link and called him names. Insulted Ganon. Insulted the King. She was bossy and sarcastic and y'know, fun.
THEN THAT STUPID KING PUTS A DRESS ON HER. He summons her, says OMG UR ZLEDA and puts her in a damn dress. And takes away her tan somehow. And suddenly she's a weak, nervous, demure little darling, and the first thing she does is defer to Link and apologise for causing trouble. A submissive little Japanese wetdream. I was getting a real vibe of a 'showing that hot chick who insulted me that I'm a real man after all' fantasy there on the part of the creators. And my personal feminist tastes aside, it just came out of the blue and made no sense at all.
