    No, this is not about a missing can of beans...

    The Legend of Zelda series is easily one of the best game series of all time. Every single Legend of Zelda game that has appeared has been fantastic, even the older games are fantastic to this day.
    So is The Legend of Zelda:Wind Waker a good addition to the series? No.....It's an AMAZING one!!!

    The game starts of when your Sister wakes you up and you remember it's your Birthday your told to meet your Grandmother there and you do, while your there she cloakes you in a Green Garb, on from that it's just your normal start, talk to villagers, go through the tutorial etc. But then you see a young girl being carried away by an enormous, demonic bird, being a Zelda game of course you take Sword in hand and make chase! Eventully you find her beating some monsters on the way. On the way back to take the girl home you find out she's a pirate, but mid-way through your conversation your Sister Aryl comes in, but before she can say anything the evil bird returns and kidnaps her! Your about to do a leap of faith after her however the pirate girl Tetra stops you. This is when you go in search of a Shield and sail to the forsaken fortress with the pirates were your sister is being held prisoner by the evil GANON!

    The Legend of Zelda:Wind Waker has much more colouful and vibrant graphics than Twilight Princess and it gives it an almost cartoony feel. Most people will think this is fantastic but some will hate it, but that does'nt really matter as the only people who don't like it are a litte bit braindead! The script perfectly goes with the cartoony graphics as it's full of wacky characters and lines that will make you chuckle yourself to death!

    This is not to say it is a light story though, Wind Waker has one of the best storylines to ever feature in a game! So much twists and awsome evnts happen in the plot! As with all other games in the Zelda series there is tons of side-quests and adventuring to do even after you've completed the game!

    One key aspect of the Legend of Zelda:Wind Waker that i havn't mentioned yet is the fact that you ar'nt just kept to the land, now your able to explore the sea too! You use your boat the King Of Red Lions to explore different islands and dungeons, another key element which is probably your most useful item in Wind Waker is the Wind Waker! You are able to use it to do certain sort of spells that will come in very handy! One of them you turn day into night, and another one your able to telaport to certain places on the sea, this also makes sailing alot quicker!

    Overall The Legend Of Zelda: Wind Waker is Amazing! I have nothing bad to say about it! This is easily one of my favoroute Zelda games and definatley the best Gamecube game of all time! 5 STARS!!!

      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...
