The Legend of Zelda: The Windwaker is a must buy for all those zelda fanatics and casual gamers alike. It proposes many new weapons and a new, beautiful cell-shaded world that portrays bright, wild color and eye-catching characters as well. The characters in Windwaker are some-what carefree and sometimes goofy(hence the cartoonish look and feel to the game)and this really helps the player to relax and have a good time, while on a quest to save the world from a fierce threat. The treat of course is Ganon, a long-time foe of Link's that has some how mysteriously revived from his grave several times and threatened the Zelda realm with brawn(and might I say "little" brain.)Past the story, the gameplay is really made fun by the many things you are able to complete in course of the storyline and the many side-quests that seem to fill up your Sea Map with ease. What is a Sea Map you might ask? It is a map, in the Windwaker, that gives you direction about the ocean routes that you will be sailing on to make progress. You use your windwaker, a musician's baton, to change the course of the winds on the sea, so to be able to sail to different places and get to more side-quests or what not. It's really your choice of what you want to do and where you want to go, in this spectacular game. The sound is deep and enthralling just like the graphics, which I described earlier. Everything goes together perfectly in this game and you won't be able to sense that perfection if you don't pick it up for $20, or rent it, and play it through to the end.
Windwaker has about 5-6 dungeons and many other temple structures, where you'll obtain unique weapons, like the deku leaf which allows you to glide from certain platforms to unreachable ones, and magic, like that of special funtions for your windwaker and magical abilities for yourself. It will take the average gamer about 30 hours to complete the Windwaker story alone, but when you add in all the sidequests and treasures-40 hours easy.
