Game Journal No .9

So after making up with my Gamecube after last week's outburst I dove back into the Wind Waker. I was relieved to find that I had actually saved at some point during the wind temple so I only had to finish that off. More clever puzzles in this one but it felt like a copy of the earth temple. In both you have a sage you have to escort through the temple and you have to use both Link and the sage to get through the temple. I thought that the Earth temple's puzzles made much better use of this mechanic. Oh well, it's time for the triforce hunt. This is one of those weird gameplay moments when you have heard so much about a segement of a game from other players that it affects the way you play the game. I have played the whole game with the idea that I knew at some point there was a rather tedious fetch quest towards the end, that for some spoiled an otherwise great game. I am trying to clear my mind of these thoughts as I go into this. I'll let you know how it turns out next week.
