    Wake The Winds

    The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker is a fantastic game in almost every way. It looks fantastic even in 2016, its world feels full and alive even though it's a giant ocean, and its story is great, but Its not without its flaws. Firstly, the controls can be quite frustrating at times. When aiming items like the bow and boomerang it can be difficult to line up a clear shot, during the Ganon puppet fight is when that problem shows its true colors. Secondly, some puzzles can be confusing and convoluted, When using my shield to reflect light it's often difficult to know where to aim. My final grief is the God damn search for those triforce pieces. Paying Tingle a shit load of coins to read the charts is so stupid, then you have to go and find them.It's a great looking game. Every little thing looks awesome, I honestly can't understand why people where bitching about the art style when they showed it. The dungeons are fun to explore and the bosses look cool. My favorite dungeon ended up being the first one in the game so they started it off with a banger! Sailing in the game is a double edged sword, on one hand it's fun to sail the seas and discover what's out there, but on the other hand it can be tedious to sail around from place to place after a while.Despite its controls and some times frustrating puzzles The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Is a fantastic game that I would happily recommend if you some how haven't played the game, Seriously just go play it.

This game made me spiral through my childhood and I still play it to this day. (Spoilers) I loved the part when you get the master sword or when you plant your sword directly into Ganons forhead. The reason why I think new games aren't fun is because they aren't challenging although for windwaker, it's more abo...
