Brendoge rates this game: 5/5When The Legend of Zelda the Wind Waker was announced and revealed to feature a rather strange cartoon style to their visuals, fans were left scratching their heads to whether they should end up purchasing the new art turn. When it was released however it quickly became a popular addition to the series. In fact it inspired future games to add further intelligence to a variety of elements, as the Wind Waker not only featured amzing art and sound but also smart gameplay - such as items having more uses and temple puzzles to perplex and challenge.
A new link is the hero this time around, in a Hyrule bound together by vast oceans. Link has to use the wind to his advantage as he sales off in set of new islands in the new area to explore. Ganondorf has return Zelda - but not in ways you might think casual to the franchise.
Incorporating new techniques, sound, items, adventures, gameplay, intelligence, art styles and various other achievements - the Wind Waker makes for some tough and fun adventures with the new characters and worlds - link still doesn't talk, but that's no negative to the story. What makes it even more entertaining is the comedy and plain fun that comes with the new visuals, It's unlike any other game of the series and you'll love every minute of it!
Anonymous rates this game: 5/5The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker is an action-adventure game and the tenth installment in The Legend of Zelda series. It was released for the Nintendo GameCube in Japan on December 13, 2002, in North America on March 24, 2003, in Europe on May 2, 2003, and in Australia on May 7, 2003. The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass for the Nintendo DS is the direct sequel to The Wind Waker.
The game is set on a group of islands in a vast sea, first for the series. The player controls Link, the protagonist of the Zelda series. He struggles against his nemesis, Ganondorf, for control of a sacred relic known as the Triforce. Link spends a large portion of the game sailing, traveling between islands, and traversing through dungeons and temples to gain the power necessary to defeat Ganondorf. He also spends time trying to find his little sister.
The Wind Waker follows in the footsteps of Ocarina of Time and its sequel Majora's Mask, retaining the basic gameplay and control system from the two Nintendo 64 titles. A heavy emphasis is placed on using and controlling wind with a baton called the Wind Waker, which aids sailing and floating in air.[3][4][5][6] Controversial during development for its use of cel shading graphics and younger Link character, The Wind Waker received acclaim on release and is one of the Nintendo GameCube's most popular games.
The Game Critic rates this game: 5/5This game is a great puzzle game with action and adventure. It took a 1 half our download for me, but worth it. I have played all the Zelda games and this and OoT Are the 2 best. It is the same graphics from the gamecube version and can never be beat. Welldone.
