Unless he was just starting to fall. Then it would be like you'd drawn it. Hey, what do you think of the Wind Waker design? I thought that the monsters and items were a lot more subtle than in the other Zelda games, but the people were ugly as sin, therefore messing up the game for me. I could almost live with it if they just kept Link's feet, but they didn't. I think they subjuected him to Ganon's torture chamber:
Ganon: Talk, you worm!
Link: Never!
(Ganon proceeds to chop off Link's feet and inflate his head with a bicycle pump...)

Actually I hated the Wind Waker at first when I saw the first screen shots. I refused to buy it. Then my boyfriend got it and I watched at how amazing the animation was. For the first time, Link actually had expressions. It's the only Zelda game to date where Link actually has a personality. In the other games, his range of expression was so limited but the Wind Waker was really a step forward. I love the game for that and I also love the style of it as well. Link's face could be a little better but he's still cute.

    Yeah. The monsters have this really nice subtly creepy design, and the effects animation is brilliant. The smoke is really fun to watch. And, if you throw a bomb in water, you get this really cool effect; there's a sort of a geyser and huge explosion. If the people had just looked nicer, this game would have been practically perfect. If even Link and Zelda/Tetra had looked nice and everyone else had been kept ugly, that would be great. I think the best-looking person in the game is Aryll because (a) she's a new character and you have no clue what she'd look like otherwise, and (b) because LITTLE kids like Aryll ACTUALLY look like that. Link's about ten or eleven--maybe twelve! He can't go wandering around with chopped off feet and a blown-up head! I agree, he SHOULD look cartoony, but if they gave him feet the appeal would be there. It just ISN'T now. The thing I think I liked best that they changed on this game was either the Great Fairies (who were just hideous previously) or the use of either a really great synthesizer or real instruments. Or both. They also had really nice arrangement. Not as good as Ocarina ofTime, but hey, what IS?
    Oh, P.S., in case you were thinking I'm some kind of professional, I'm not. I'm just a bored kid on Spring Break. Bored and hungry. It's a good thing It's almost lunchtime.

    I want to nitpick too!!

    Actually, in LoZ: Ocarina of Time Link has atleast one expression and that's scared (going as a kid to the graveyard and finding few zombies/animate deads in one grave...) it gives certain personality, don't ya think?

    If i recall right, Majora's Mask also have few expressions BUT it's ages since i've been playing MM, so i can be wrong...

    Oh, well... I'm on a ongoing guest to piss people off...
