The Wind Waker has a reputation for being so "out there" compared to previous titles in the series. It contained sailing instead of the traditional roaming around the vast landscape of Hyrule. It had girly, childish graphics, but that's why I love it so.
This game came out when I was the age of seven, so one word, "nostalgic." There is NOTHING wrong with the graphics. I had been surrounded by hate, but I never thought that way. If you really think about it, you were literally playing a cartoon on your television. For this review I even went back to the game and looking at it now, it holds up incredibly! The way this art style was created makes you realize that in 20-30 years, I'm 100% sure that they will still hold up.
Now as for the sailing, I love it. It's not what everyone was expecting, but the fact is is that it's a sailing simulator. The way that Shenmue fans loved the city simulator, I love the Great Sea. Imagine, one of the largest world maps of its time which you sail around and create your own adventures. It's quite mind-blowing.Game play wise, the Wind Waker is the typical Zelda game. It feels like a polished Ocarina of Time with a new camera (mind you one of the best cameras for any video game). This is expected due to it being an unofficial sequel to one of the OoT endings.
At the end of the day, the Wind Waker is a fantasic game. In fact, I would say that this is the third greatest game of all time. It brought fresh elements to the Zelda series and is a must play! This is the Nofriendo Review and I approve this message.
