Intro edits
I've twice reverted parts of the recent edits to the introduction. The reason is that the previous version read better than the changes. Specifically:
- The following sentence is phrased awkwardly: "The element of wind has a prominent role, by facilitating sailing and being controlled with a magic conductor's baton called the Wind Waker."
- The following sentence introduces passive voice: "Instead, a distinctive cartoon-like art style was created through cel shading, originating the 'Toon Link' character." (I also don't think the sentence benefits from being broken up).
- Calling the art direction "whimsical": I don't think this is the right word choice. At any rate the previous paragraph already establishes what the art direction is like.
- The article verifies that the divisiveness among North American players contributed to weaker sales in comparison to Ocarina of Time, in fact this is a pretty significant part of the game's history. Removing that hurts the flow.
- "As a result, the subsequent Twilight Princess (2006) has a more natural and serious look." This doesn't flow right. As a result of what exactly? As a result of comparatively weak sales, Nintendo changed directions with the visuals. As a result of that decision, Twilight Princess has a more realistic style (I don't think that "natural and serious" are the right word choices)
- Splitting the sentence on the character's allies and activities strikes me as unnecessary, but I'm open to this if others support the change.
There are some good changes that I'll restore, and others that should be made. In general this introduction has suffered from content creep over the years; I'll get to work on fixing that.--Cúchullain /c 20:29, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
Would this still classify as GameCube-Only?
I'm aware that the two versions (OG and HD) have separate articles, but at the end of the day they're the same game at its core. Pages where the remasters are merged with the original game (Xenoblade Chronicles (video game) and Skies of Arcadia) don't have either marked as exclusive for their respective consoles (Xenoblade's remaster in particular has WAY more identity than Wind Waker's in my eyes). I could totally be wrong with this thinking, and if I am, I'd appreciate a link to Misplaced Pages's policies on remakes (if such a page even exists).
