I think Zelda is the greatest gaming
franchise ever created and it is by far the best adventure franchise
out there. But The Wind Waker has taken the series to new places. First
of all Ocarina of Time, I believe is the greatest game ever made, and
by no means do I think The Wind Waker surpasses it.
The Wind Waker, though, has improved in many categories over OoT. First of all The Wind Waker's sword combat vastly improves upon Ocarina of Time's. Many people were skeptical when Nintendo and Shigeru Miyamoto chose to make this game more cartoonish, rather then realistic. I prefer the more realistic look, but I definitely understand why they chose it to be this way; it just fits the games story and style.
The story in Wind Waker is not as good as in previous Zeldas, but as usual, in any Zelda game, the story is great. The gameplay in The Wind Waker is very good and is the best controlling Zelda to date. The graphics in this game are the best on Gamecube and perhaps the best of last generation.
In Zelda: The Wind Waker you now can travel by ship and the game relies on this method more then any other way, partly because there is no horse to ride on.
If you were staying away from this game purely for graphic style; fear not, this game is not any less mature or enjoyable than other Zelda game and The Wind Waker is a fabulous addition to the already stellar Zelda library.
