COMMENTS

Miyamoto-san has done it again. This is one of the best games ever. The graphics turned out to be excellent considering how everyone complained. The animations are fluid and very vibrant. The bosses are some of the biggest, best and most colorful of any game ever. The soundtrack adds so much to the experience. There is still no voice-acting. The controls are exactly like the previous Zelda which isn't a bad thing at all. They are very easy to get used to. The boss fights really stand out. The animations are jaw dropping. Its fun just exploring the different islands but the sailing can get a little annoying. Its nice to be able to take a break from the main quest to try out the mini-games. The GC-GBA connectivity is used to get help from Tingle. One player can control Link while the other plays on the GBA and helps out by blowing up enemies, making Link float through the air. You'll want to play through The Wind Waker at least twice because the second time you play through will be slightly different. The only problem with The Wind Waker is that it is quite easy and short (about 20 hours but will be long for full completion). This is a must-buy title for any Gamecube owner. Period.
