The latest Legend of
Zelda adventure begins with young Link living a peaceful life on a
tiny island. One day, Link witnesses a huge, menacing bird that
snatches Link's younger sister and flies away with her. Link follows
in hot pursuit. His search for her sets in motion an epic adventure
that will have Link sailing the high seas and searching for answers
to the mystery behind her disappearance.
Since the debut of The Legend of Zelda in 1987, all of Link's games
have been the stuff of legends - universally appealing adventures
that emerged as beloved triumphs of gameplay, presentation,
innovation, graphics and fun. In the ninth entry in the series, Link
debuts on GCN with a fun new look, but the game is still serious
about adventure.
The series' classic mix of sword-swinging action, perplexing puzzles
and stirring story lines remains intact while the new cel-shaded
graphics enable the characters of Link's world to be the most lively
and expressive personalities gamers have ever seen. Emotions hit a
fever pitch when Link witnesses his sister being snatched up by a
giant bird. Embarking on an epic voyage to locate his sister, Link
unravels a mystery that deftly blends unique, stylized graphics with the much-heralded mechanics of the gaming milestone,
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Electronic Gaming Monthly:
"Wind Waker's gameplay is the best the series has ever had.
Every single battle in the game explodes with strategic options, so
fighting never gets boring. Neither do the sprawling dungeons, which
teem with tricky puzzles. This is a worthy inheritor of the Zelda
crown - an instant classic no gamer should miss."

IGN Cube:
"Wind Waker is a masterful achievement - a shining example, in
fact, of how videogames should be made. Simply put, this is one of
the best games in the last few years and one of the most compelling
reasons to pick up a GameCube immediately if you don't already own
one..."

Gamers.com:
"You really need to hear only five words about The Wind Waker:
You must play this game. The animation in this game is without
equal; as a result, all three of our reviewers (one was on the
fence, another sure the graphics were a mistake) now agree that Wind
Waker's new look is as effective as it is unique."

GameSpot:
"A strong achievement in every way, from its stunning graphical
presentation to its tight control and interesting story line. The
way it refines one of the polygonal generation's most important
games makes The Wind Waker every bit as much of a must-own game as
The Ocarina of Time was before it."
