    Wind Waker Review

    Another fantastic game in the Zelda franchaise.
    When trailers were released of Wind Waker a lot of Zelda fans were outraged at the graphics. A cartoony colourful world took place of the usual dark zelda universe.

    However, the graphics proved highly successful and the public (including me) seemed to really like the graphics. The gameplay in this game is as good as any other zelda game. The fantastic story that normaly accompanies Zelda games is there too.

    One thing that makes the game slightly less enjoyable is the tedious slow sailing. Had we not hacve to change the direction of the wind every other minute and the ship went a bit faster this could have been a bit more enjoyable.

    Good points

    • Great graphics
    •  Great storyline
    • Fantastic gameplay
    • Plenty of things to keep you occupied when you finish the main game.

    Bad points
    • Tedious sailing
    • Annoying triforce hunt towards the end.

    Overall this is one of the best Zelda games and one of the top 3 or 5 games on the gamecube.

(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...
