Wind Waker is a masterful achievement -- a shining example, in fact, of how videogames should be made and a case study for developers wondering what makes a compelling game. Nintendo has once again evolved the action-adventure and created a gargantuan world that seems to overflow with mystery and challenge, an epic undertaking that streams across a wide-open sea and through countless islands, into several dungeons, and more. It's all knitted together with a storyline, but it's Zelda's unrivaled design, balanced and varied, and its polished play mechanics and control that ultimately set the game apart from just about every other competitor on the market.
Think that says it all really.
I have BF1942 myself and can safely say its OK. It is a game like so many others, something will be out in a week just like it...and probably better. Dont get me wrong, i enjoy playing it....but no more than playing RTCW, Spearhead......etc......etc, etc...etc. Go for something a bit 'different', something that will engross you from beginning to end, something with a story and not some mindless shoot em up, something you will remember in years to come (like previous Zelda games). I'd say go for Wind Waker.
