The Wind Waker

The Wind Waker was the first GCN (Nintendo Gamecube) Legend of Zelda. In Wind Waker, emotions take a toll when Link witnesses his sister being snatched away by an ancient bird. Now, armed with the family sword and shield, and with the help of a conductor's baton named the Wind Waker, he has to go on a quest to save his sister and find out what evil forces are behind this dastardly crime.

TriforceTour Rating Breakdown

Graphics: 8.9
The graphics had a cartoonish feel, but this allowed more to be placed inside the new and smooth environment.
Gameplay: 9.7
Confusing, but just by a bit. For example, in some versions, the A Button (as opposed to the usual B button) to swing the sword.
Playability: 9.9
Something worth picking up for sure, with its nice plot and great involvement.
Overall: 9.7
In truth, this one, along with Ocarina of Time, introduced me to Legend of Zelda. I couldn't agree more that this game had some questionable graphics, but the game itself is sheer genius.
