When The Wind Waker first was released on the Gamecube back in 2002 folks were mixed on the "toon shaded" artstyle Nintendo had chose coming off the success of the N64's Ccarina of Time and Majora's Mask, but after discovering how great an adventure was to be had underneath its new coat of paint, they warmed up to the change and "Toon Link" carried over to various other games and spinoffs of the series. First and foremost the graphics are the most striking element of this title and even more so in this really well done HD remake. It's like you're playing a cartoon, and its animation....especially when in battle is a sight to behold. If only future Zelda were a fluid as what they delivered in Waker. The game itself is a grand action adventure where you sail the seas of Hyrule and traverse many a dungeon to ensure the safety of the title's Princess, who actually plays a much larger role in this particular installment. Making things easier, Nintendo added items like a new sail for your boat in this version which eliminates having to change the direction of the wind which made sailing a bit of a hassle back in the day constantly having to readjust your bearings. Also included is a photo capture side quest of every character and enemy in the game which unlocks statues of them for you to collect and check out when you want a little down time in the game's massive quest. A quest that should be pretty accessible for most gamers outside of some stealth bits here and there which require patience if you're not down with that style of play. Classic game. Amazing visuals. Must buy title.
