True, your boat can cruise, but doing is painstakingly slow and it seems to fizzle out if you go against the wind long enough.



I saw that thread at honestgamer's site about his review of the game. It reminded me of why I tend not to go to many other game boards or get in arguments there: They make you feel like you're the straight man in some classic Monty Python sketch. Like when that one guy said you don't need to have the wind to your back, you can just cruise around. The rebuttal to that is so obvious - that cruising is so slow, it'd probably take five hours to cruise across the game's map - that it shouldn't have to be said, and that the person was just wasting our time by arguing that. I also didn't like the implied assumption in many people's arguments that every game deserves a 10, regardless of the number of flaws it has.

As for the game's graphics, I dunno. I sort of wish they were more colorful. Just about all the dungeons seem bland or dull. The last astonishing thing I saw was that dizzying view from the top of the Deku true, and that was hours and hours ago. Before that, the only really impressive things I can recall were from Dragon Roost Island (the floating embers, and also the first boss)
