this game is fun for all
I played this game and after I got used to it I absolutely loved it. I would miss playing and wonder what was the next challenge for Link.I liked the music the graphics and the story. This game would be a treat for my 3 year old. She would beg me to play Zelda so she could watch the game play. After I beat the game I missed it like when you finish a good book.

It's Zelda, That Tells It All
At first glance The Legend Of Zelda: The Wind Waker might look like it was made for 4:20. It took some time for my eyes and feelings to get adjusted to the graphics. I was never a great fan of cell-shading, but hey! It's Zelda. Putting the visuals aside. The Legend Of Zelda:WW is a game that can be fun but very frustrating. You will travel by by foot and boat while you traverse the lands once in order to stop the dark hoards of none other than, who else? For more go get the game it's worst it =P
-CON
Zelda is a great game and I love everything but there is one thing that gets on my nerves. **??MIGHT BE SPOILER???**Don't Read On.
Unlike any of the other Zelda games you actually have to save up a ton of rupees in order to progress.

Less than perfect
I wanted to like The Wind Waker. It has everything that a Legend of Zelda game should have; great puzzles, fun combat, good characters; but I don't, and not for the reason that most would give. The cel-shading was a novel idea. It's the stupid island hopping that turns me off to this game. The Legend of Zelda is supposed to take place in Hyrule, or, as in the case of Link's Awakening, on AN island, not some "Great Sea" covering an old Hyrule. If everything else had been the same, the cel-shading, the characters, weapons and puzzles and had set it in one place without having to hop islands, I would have loved it as much as the other games. The island hopping ruined it for me.

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
The Wind Waker is a great addition the the Legend of Zelda series. It has a great combination of terrific graphics, a fantastic story-line, and delightful charactors. The new Cel-Shaded graphics are great! I found with the previous games that they were so dark, and I found myself squinting at them to try to make out the pictures. The Wind Waker is happier, even when you're fighting bosses its bright colours make it very lively. At first I was a bit confused at the idea of sailing around on a boat. 'Won't you get lost?' I thought. But there are many extra islands in the game, so soon you learn how to get to the major islands that you use the most. I actually found the other games more confusing then this one. The Ballad of Gales helps too because of the warping. If you forget what you are supposed to be doing you can just talk to your boat, the King of Red Lions, and he will tell you what to do. At first the whole boat idea didn't sound very good to me. But how is the boat any different from your horse in The Ocarina of Time? I really liked how Tetra was princess Zelda. As Tetra she appeared as just a mean old pirate, but you could see that she was really nice inside. And when she realized that she was Zelda she is really sweet and only cares that Gannon gets sealed away and that Link is safe. She doesn't care about herself. In the beginning there were a lot of mysteries, but by the end it all comes together and you see the picture. There seems to be a lot more magic involved in this. It is really neat how Hyrule and the Hero of Time (from the Ocarina of Time) where an ancient legend that Link re-discovers, and then must seal away. I really liked the fact that there were lots of charactors involved. In the other games Link was the guy that did EVERYTHING! But in the Wind Waker there is Medli, who ends up being a sage. There is Makar, who is also a sage. There is Valoo and the Rito tribe, who rescue you from Gannon in the Forsaken fortress. This game was like a really good book to me. You clearly understand what is going on at ever point in the game, and you want to keep playing to see what happens next. I like it how Gannon talks to Link in the game. How he tells him about the master sword, it seems that he is trying to scare Link away, but Link, having the triforce of courage, never gives up and eventually defetes Gannon. Overall this is a great game. Best one yet!

Fun, But Short
If there was ever a gam made for the graphics technology of the GameCube, it was the Zelda series with all its fantastic creatures, wizards, and monsters. On that level, the game does not disappoint. It is one beautiful game to play. While it is fun to look and play, it is not as deep as i would have liked. I played the game fairly regularly for a week and beat it in not time. There was not as much to explore as I had hoped or many challenges.
If you love Zela, by all means, buy it. Personally, i think a casual fan ought to rent it first and gauge whether the challenges involved have any replay value. i, for one, do not think so. But the game is still well worth playing at least once.
