Here's what happened when I first learned about the Wind Waker game (exact quotes too):
Cash: Guys there's a new Zelda game coming out!!!
Friends: Yay (Monty Python style)
Cash: This is fucking awesome! I'm going to buy it the second it comes out!
Friends: mmm... PS2....
Cash: ARRRGH!!! Look at the graphics! That's crap! This game sucks! I hate it!
Friends: he he he, crushed optimism...
Needless to say, I did my preorder so I could get the Ocarina bonus disc. I played Wind Waker and actually liked it! It's a good game, albiet, a little short.
