Zelda: Wind Waker 2 Was Cancelled By Nintendo

Like how half the comments are just two people arguing and no one has mentioned phantom hourglass or spirit tracks

I would have played it if it involved picking up the storyline alluded to in the conclusion of Wind Waker where Link and Tetra were going to establish a new Kingdom of Hyrule.

Well i played Wind Waker and Twilight Princess. And from the experience both are good games of course, some have their disadvantages to the other but that depends "of your taste". Both have sweet stories, but i have to say that the gameplay of twilight had a lack of difficulty, was "TOO EASY" and "OBVIOUS" and the figth with the enemy and bosses was a joke, of course Wind Waker wasn't that difficult but had more Challenge a difference with TWP (Im not saying they have make the zelda's game like a dark souls). Now they choose to make a sequel of TWP in the next zelda game we don't know how is going to be. But looking how they made Breath Of Wild (didn't played it fucking country and crisis), maybe it's going to be great, we just have to wait for it. But really i don't mind to see Midna again.

There's only 2 Zelda games that I never was able to finish because I thought they sucked so badly, I couldn't bear to play another minute of it, and one of those 2 was Windwaker. Those cheesy cel-shade graphics and terribly annoying characters. It was like the game was made for toddlers. It's something you would see on Saturday Morning cartoons with Bob the Builder and Barney. Terrible game.

So yes, I'm extremely happy they decided to go with Twilight Princess and not a sequel to Shitwaker.

well windwaker was great for me with i play back in the gamecube era, twilight princess was okay. didn't bother to buy the hd version consider everything look the same as the original with ultra high resolution texture. and some lighting effects.

realistic version more btw is there any plan for skyward sword for swiths and will twilight princess hd be playable on ninitendo switch though i dont mind if it cartoonish if it feature both in a good story

Opinion is so divided on Wind Waker. Nintendo didn't help by demoing Zelda on Gamecube at E3 as being more realistic. So, when they switched to Cel-da, a lot of people including myself, were disappointed. When I played the game, though, I loved it because of how much I was reminded me of A link to the Past's style. It's unfortunate that Nintendo doesn't listen more to fans, though, because it remains one of the best art styles for Zelda and what really made it tank was how many dungeons there were(n't). That said, Breath of the Wild is bringing some of that back, and I can't wait to play it!

I liked Wind waker more than twilight princess.

"Wind Waker never got a sequel."

So, was Phantom Hourglass chopped liver? Pretty sure that was a sequel to Wind Waker.

So glad it was canned. Wind Waker was the worst of all the Nintendo-made Zelda games. Even getting beyond the cel-shaded graphics fad, the game was really easy to get through. It was the Star Wars: Phantom Menace of the Legend of Zelda series, complete with obnoxious supporting characters (Tingle)

thats a shame, my all time best zelda game will always be Majora's Mask, followed very closely by wind waker, i would've like to play more wind waker back in the day xD

We've heard several stories on why it was canned now...

why the heck is gamespot emailing me this? Its not like this is new information

And thus the greatest Zelda game was born, Twilight Princess

Wow. I did not expect to be so annoyed by that news. Definitely in the Wind Waker was awesome camp.

damn, wouldve much rather had another wind waker like game than that dreary Twilight Princess

I hate Zelda fans. They robbed me of something amazing. >.<'

99% would agree that it was a good decision. Many think Twilight Princess is the best Zelda game ever made and I think it's one of the best though my favourite is still A Link To The Past.

I didn't play Wind Waker and Twilight Princess until this year when I bought a WiiU. Started off with Twilight Princess and would have to say it's a great Zelda game but it hasn't aged very well. The graphics look very outdated and bland and riding the horse was a pain.

Wind Waker, on the other hand, looks lovely. Nintendo were ahead of time when they released it. Look at mobile games today - many of them have exactly the same graphic design as Wind Waker. The game looks pretty good by today's standard. I downloaded OoT on my WiiU but I don't think I'll be able to play it, the game is simply too old and outdated but it would be awesome if they could release a remake that uses today's gamepad/gameplay mechanics.

My biggest problem with Zelda games is that they are too easy and kid-friendly. Wind Waker was extremely easy - boss fights you usually kill on the first or second try. Same with Twilight Princess. The puzzles are also a bit repetitive, many of the puzzles are the same once we saw back in the SNES era.

I'm looking forward to the new Zelda, it looks great and it's the type of design that can appeal people 10 years from now without it looking old and low-res like Twilight Princess. I do hope, however, that Nintendo at some point in time makes a more challenging Zelda game where enemies aren't so easy to kill and where boss battles actually are a challenge. Think how great a Zelda type Witcher 3 could be (in terms of leveling up, crafting things, challenging boss/creature fights).

hhhmm I think I'm in the mood to play Wind Waker.

Best move they ever made. Twilight princess is my favorite Zelda game.

Big mistake canceling WW2 for TP. WW was good. TP was not good by Zelda standards.

Worth nothing although is a bunch of games was made for the ds based on this game engine so in a way it got a lot of sequels. But yeah the art design got some critic at the time when it was released. But yeah, personally I think a manga approach usually is good in games as you get rid of problems like the system taking up a shit load of resources just because it needs to draw every hear on someones head and stuff.
But yeah cares if I want to watch hair I watch a shampoo commercial or something like that, personally I just want to play a cool game whit great gameplay and an immersive world.
But when it comes to Zelda I prefer the more mature approach Skyward sword and the new breath of the wild uses.
Also Xenoblade Chronicles X is another game that uses a manga approach that just looks asome. In that game for example they used those resources much better by making the world incredibly alive and vibrant whit plants, enemies etc.
Could perhapse be the most "alive" open world game ever created. But yeah the new Zelda game seems to be having the same type of "alive" open world.

There is an old interview where I think it Aonuma saying the started developing Wind Waker 2 after Wind Waker but ended up going for the more Ocarina of Time style game. I can't remember the details of it right now.

The worst game in the series. Thank god the public reacted badly to the game now two times in row

Replace the horse with a train.

Here's an idea, why not make the horse smaller? IMHO Wind Waker is the best looking zelda on a graphic design basis. Hard to pick on gameplay and dungeon design. My second favorite would have to be the original NES in full pixel glory. Works of art.

Didn't they make Spirit Tracks instead?

Personally I loved Twilight Princess. Absolutely loved that game. So I'm glad they moved on

Probably for the better.

The reaction that Twilight Princess got at E3 was so awesome.

According to the Zelda wiki, Toon Link is an adult, so I'm a little confused when he says they couldn't make Toon Link an adult.

As mentioned, Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks are direct sequels to Wind Waker. All three games are listed as part of the "adult" Link timeline.

Phantom Hourglass is a DIRECT sequel to Wind Waker. And that got a sequel, Spirt Tracks.

OMG this article is so riddled with ignorance it's cringeworthy.
