There is only one reason not to like this game.

And that is the constant baby-sitting of the wind while sailing the open seas. Other then that, there is no excuse to not like this game. I've heard that some hard-core Zelda fan's don't like Toon Link but if they let that bother them so much that they don't even play Wind Waker, they are missing out on a awesome game.
There are so many fun mini-quest's in this game to pass the time while you avoid going to the next dungeon.
Or, you could just stick to the main objective of the game and go from dungeon to dungeon defeating bosses and such. This is a great game for first-time zelda players or a long-time players (such as myself). The items you get along the way are so much fun...Especially the picto-box (I can't stop taking pictures of the in-game characters and making them into figurines!!) I've had such a blast with this game and would recommend it to anyone who is debating renting/buying it or not.

This game is just amazing. For me, this game has always been so adventurous! With 40+ islands to explore, and loads of side-quests, this game will take a long time finish 100%!

Many people hate the graphics, but I think there great! If your a classic zelda fan, then you'd probably would prefer more realistic graphics. This game also has some puzzling dungeons. You'll encounter enemies from ChuChus, to the horrifying ReDeads! (Which sound like elephants screaming in pain for some odd reason...) The sidequests are also fun and hard (that's what she said!). If you're having trouble, you also can connect a gameboy to your console and call Tingle! You can have your kids, friends, etc., to help you out by playing as Tingle!

The only problems I found with this game was the sailing, but later in the game, you get the ability to warp to various islands, making sailing MUCH MUCH easier! If you have trouble with any dungeons, you can check out some Let's plays or walkthroughs on youtube, ign. etc. (I REALLY recommend Chuggaaconroy's Wind waker LP for help)

Good things:
Superb adventuring
Fun side-quests
Funny at some points
Good storyline
Challenging dungeons
Tingle Turner

Bad things:
Repetitive sailing
Frustrating to figure out what to do at times

So I give this a 10/10 I REALLY recommend you getting this game, it's completely worth it.

I love this game. There is so much to do and it's so fun and intense with the music. :) The graphics are okay and when you get to windfall island it's awesome! There is a lot to do there. I think its a pretty EASY game and I really enjoyed it. Sometimes its frustrating but you can look for walkthroughs and cheats on Youtube or here. I look on Youtube usually so you can watch it instead of reading or whatever but... yeah. Super fun!

This here is one of my favorite games period. I could care less that the graphics seem to be for a younger audience. Every zelda game has different graphics. I love this game from start to finish and even enjoy the second mode. The only problem is the fact i dont own it and there is a very low availibilty for me most of the time.

those who give this a bade rating is because u have to sail across the sea. i found this part of the game very fun. sure, its long, and can be boring, but it plays cool adventure music while your sailing and you can find hidden islands on the way where you can get upgrades. the dungeons had great puzzles just like all zelda games, and can be repetetive, but give it try if ur a zelda fan. im sure you will want to buy it.

The graphics are pretty, the control is solid, and the story is quite interesting. I especially like the unusual portrayal of Ganon as an almost tragic villain. Unfortunately, however, "The Wind Waker" just doesn't manage to be a truly worthy successor to "Ocarina of Time". There's lots of fun and exciting stuff to do here, yes, but it's also weighed down by problems it can't quite overcome, such as that awful stealth mission at the Forsaken Fortress near the beginning of the game (the last thing I want to do in a Zelda game is go all Splinter Cell on a castle full of Moblins), and especially the way it requires the player to locate the eight pieces of the Triforce of Courage. (Scavenge the sea, constantly changing the direction of the wind, for an exorbitant sum of Rupees, then give them all away to that creepy jerk Tingle so that he'll tell you where to go and dredge one up. Then repeat, and repeat, and repeat.)

Definitely worth playing if you're a Zelda fan, but I doubt it's the kind of game you'll be coming back to again and again.

Great game, nuff said. Didn't really have any problems with it, enjoyed sailing the seas and had fun. Also liked to play it even after i beat it. Sure it's no Ocarina of Time but I'd rather not compare the two in the first place and just enjoy this one.

Legend of Zelda Wind Waker is a fun, humorous game with a hint of violence, and puzzle solving. Don't call me a noob but i havent beaten the game yet. I have to say the graphics were a bit of a surprise. My favorite weapon is the bow. They don't cost much and pack a punch. Also using bombs are fun on the grunts(seen at the beginning)because they go "Ah!" and run away. The grabbling hook is useful not only for the dragon roost dungeon, but if you swing it a and enemy, you'll steal the prize you'd get normally if you killed it (joy pendent, skull necklace, etc.) and if you keep doing that you'll also get a rupee or two. Treasure hunting under water is rather useful, however im not good at using the maps, i just look for the glowing light in the water. Not only do they use Legend of zelda gameplay elements they also throw in sailing. What's cool is my dad was in the navy, so i enjoy sailing, shooting octopi with my arrows and bombs, as well as going to the enemy forts and kill them, and marketing with other ships. Though the storyline is kinda cheesey, the whole,"sister getting kidnapped by an oversized bird," heh, heh, not really, thats what others say. i say that its creative, has some serious thinking behind it and was amusing. Now what legend of zelda changes the most is the transportation, a horse, a boat, a train(shurg), or just on foot. Next to Twilight Princess, this is my favorite zelda of all.

this game was so good i bought this over 7 times. Yes, it may be similar to ocarina of time and twilight princess, but
1. the best zelda music ever
2. u actually want to play around with the other characters, like in OoT and TP the characters were very similar to one another, in WW they all have their own unique and comical personalities.
3.after u beat the game, u still want to play it
4. The ultimate epic dx camera (memorable photos)
5. great weapons
6. Smokin' Tetra (lol)
Hands down Wind waker's the best LoZ game of all time.

No matter how it looks it is a hardcore Legend of Zelda game. Don't let the cartoony look throw you off. It even gets super hardcore at the end.

PS: Don't mess with cartoon link

Well as a gamer and a zelda fan, i wasnt that impressed with this game. for a toon link game the graphics were good. But in the middle of the game there is a HUUUUUUUUUUUUGE mandatory quest which doesnt just need, but almost requires a walkthrough. but other than that it was preatty good. like all other zelda games when you beat it, you feel a sense of dissapointment because the game is over (which technacally is a good thing). I would definitly rent it but the only reason i would buy it is if a really good game like metroid is next on my Q.

I hate stupid story of Wind Waker! It all starts out with sombodys birthday that leads to clothes, that leads to some girl stuck in a tree....from there it all goes down! He just had to save her! (I wish he left her in that tree to hang forever!) Tetra was her name...I think. It was her that caused that dumb monster to take his sister. (So not his sister!) The wind didn't really blow me away. I just got inside so it would die down. (Wish Tetra would die!) I don't like how everything is so...cartoon. Why can't he look like a 17 year old like in Twilight Princess? I Wonder why he skips from a kid to 17. (Mystery!) (This will bug me for years!)

In the 3rd installment of the now 3D Zelda series, players are introduced to a very different world "The Great Sea". After his adventures in Ocarina of Time, the hero (Link) vanished. When Ganondorf returned and the hero didn't the people begged the gods help, they sent a torrent rain that covered the land under leagues of water. Hundreds of years later fact has become mere legend and the world has no idea what lies just below the waves. On a small island called Outset a young boy just turned the same age as the legendary hero and tradition dictates that he wear a traditional green tunic.
As the latest reincarnation of the Hero you must battle evil, sail the seas, and even control the very wind to save your sister, the princess and the very world from destruction.
