    This game shows that not all Zelda games are the same

    This is a game critcised by even some Zelda fans because of the way it looks but don't let that fool you here you are in for a treat with this game.

    The story to this game is very good. You start out as Link who is celebrating his twleve birthday and he gets a telescope and he spots Tetra a pirate captain grabbed by a huge bird pirates hit it out of the sky and Link goes to investigate and when he comes back with Tetra Aryll his sister is taken instead of Tetra and Link has to go and rescue her.  The story is quiet awesome really because it has so many twists.

    The gameplay feels really good you get items which help you get through certain dungeons like Hookshot,Bow and Boomerang and they help you solve puzzles. Your transport is a boat known as the King of Red Lions who is kind of like Navi a guide to help you in your quest ahead. You pick up very important item known as the Wind Waker which can change the winds direction it does play a very important part in the game because the Kind of Red Lions is not a motor boat so you have to change the winds direction with the Wind Waker. It is a nice feature and shows that not every Zelda game is the same. The sailing can be dull witg nothing much to see but the whole game world is huge.

    The sound is amazing the Wind Waker has different tunes which give you the chance to warp you to places and control characters in the game. The game has a great soundtrack altogether. The graphics if you can't accept this game for its graphics then it shows that some people perfer graphics over gameplay but I am amazed at how well the graphics fitted in nicely to the game.

    The game overall will take at least 15 to 20 hours to complete but if you are up for doing sidequests it will be a goo 30 to 40 hours and there are sidequests in this game. The game is huge and there are tons to see. Overall this game is a very good game not perfect because it isn't that long and the sailing is dull a little bit and it can be a bit easy but overall as a game it is a title that I would recommend to anyone. If you think this isn't a tipical Zelda game because of it's graphics you are wrong its one of the best in the series.

      The Wind Waker is a game that has been subject to a modicum of controversy. To my recollection, it could very well be the most controversial kid-friendly, cartoon-styled piece of family entertainment to not feature cropped-in naked girls or questionable wording. (Go on Youtube and look up “Disney sex” to skewer your perception of The Lion King). Part of this is the cause of Zelda fans and haters, arguing the merits of cartoonish graphics versus adult Link swim graphics. Tedious sailing across al...

      The Good: Outstanding visuals Superb gameplay Incredible soundtrack Great Value Great story Huge world to explore with tons of minigames and sidequest- Great dungeon design - Interesting (and lovable) characters. The Bad: Sailing and the constant use of the Wind Waker is annoying One last tedious fetch quest____________Back in 1999 Nintendo released what would be one of the most innovative games ever created called The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time, it gave a whole new feeling to the...
