THE DEFINITIVE VERSION™ OF

THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: THE WIND WAKER

direct


A divisive release that had a fanbase in shambles. Expecting a bigger darker follow up to Majora's mask. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker's toon-like visuals took everyone by surprise. Similar to games like Street Fighter III, time has been kind to Wind Waker and many look back on the release fondly as a nice change of pace with some of the best puzzles the series has to offer.
