Gamecube Reviews

Legend Of Zelda: Master Quest

Players: 1
GBA link: No
Memory card pages: 15
Discs: This is the second disc from Wind Waker and is not sold sepratly.
Online: No

Background: Thisis 2 games. Ocarina Of Time, a direct port from the N64 and the updated, harder version, Master Quest. No graphical updates for the Gamecube version but it is free with Wind Waker so no need to complain.

Graphics: On the N64 it was amazing but now on the Gamecube it lacks. Just rememebr this is a port. 6/10

Sound: Again, it's N64 but then again it still is as good as any next gen games sounds and dosen't have any cheesy voice acting. 9/10

Mastery: It pushed the N64 all the way but not the Gamecube. Not that that matters. 5/10

Lifespan: If Your gonna complete both games and you never played the N64 origional you gonna be playing it for months. If You completed the origional then you will go straight to Master Quest and that wont take as long as a Final Fantasy but you'll be on Wind Waker any way. 7/10

Verdict: As a game on it's own it's probably the greatest game ever created but as i've already completed it many times before it lacks what it did first time round but it is a classic so if you didn't play it first time round enjoy yourself because trust me, you will. 90%

Graphics: Purists wont like but those willing to give it a chance will adore the beauty of this game. 9/10

Graphics: One of the best looking games ever. beautiful water effects and gorge background makes this a joy just to look at. 9/10

Sound: the musics not great but you can just ignore that, it's the voices that will great your teeth. turn it down and stick on a cd. 3/10

Mastery: There aint many tracks so that cuts down on the power needed but they have done and good job sticking it all in with graphics. 7/10
