Honestly, there are only two problems with the game: It can be difficult to figure out where to go next, which seems fine with modern games The place where people bought it most is arguably one of Nintendo's worst consoles. The motion controls of wii just sucks so much, and a switch port could be really good done well. I just hope they don't do a Skyward Sword and keep the game practically the same, meaning all the crappy controls remained awful, but with a more cramped controller
That's because games that try to look realistic will age horribly as graphics improve. It's why OoT and TP don't look that great anymore. Compared to WW which still looks great and how I feel BoTW will look. Always good because they didn't try to be realistic.
KartKing4ever BotW is a nice middle ground in terms of graphics. It's realistic yet cartoonish enough that it won't really age. Skyward Sword still looks good as well.
I just wish there was a way to make the islands farther away just I could feel even more free like looking in any direction and nothing but water ah yes true freedom
The atmosphere of this game makes me all-around feel happy. As if it's saying, "You're on a huge adventure now, you're doing great and you've got a wonderous future ahead of you." The sky, huge ocean, everything. I got this game a few weeks ago and instantly loved it to death. I don't think there's ever been a time when I wasn't up for playing it.
Unlike most others, this wasn't my childhood. I was older when I came across it, yet, no matter how much time passes, this game will be in the top 3 best games I've EVER PLAYED. Forgive this old man's reminiscence.
Griffin Noseworthy That's what I meant actually, Nintendo used to hire temporary composers, now they have their own composers and bands. I'm telling you, Nintendo must sell music through iTunes or something, I think that'd work.
They did a really great job composing this piece, it was heard through about 75% of the game and surprisingly, after hearing it hundreds of times of longer than 5 minutes at a time you don't ever get sick of it, in fact for me it made me enjoy it even more and sometimes in the game I just went out in the ship FOR this.
So glad a new generation of kids are experiencing this amazing game with the Wii U release. No other game gives you such a strong feeling of adventure, especially while listening to this song.
I was one of those kids :'), I bought Mario kart and It had a Code to choose a free game on the e-shop between this, the wii party u and some others. Choosing the wind waker HD was the best decision of my life.
The thing is, a lot of people say WW was short. Yes, the main quest was short in comparison to other Zelda games, but there were so many optional islands and dungeons to explore. Going to a distant island so far from the main ones, going through a small dungeon on it, finding a treasure map, and then setting sail to find the treasure was one of the best experiences I had in any game.
One thing is clear about Zelda overworld songs: they have capturing the spirit of adventure in a song down to a science. The Ocean Theme from Wind Waker is perfect for seafaring adventurers, which is a blessing, given how often you’ll hear it while playing this game.
I've just been overloaded by nostalgia. I'm 17 and I STILL fucking love this game. It is by far my favorite Zelda game. I've beaten the Windwaker countless times and it's still fun every single time. Nothing compares to that first time I started the quest though =/
I have my ticket for the Zelda Symphony concert in London this October. Listening to this now and thinking about being there gives me goosebumps. When I'm actually there and this song is played, I may cry from the pure overwhelming epicosity. I CAN'T WAIT!
There was a time, when i was 15 years old, i was traveling on the shore in my stepfather´s boat. I take out my MP3, and play this song. And it was one of the most amazing moments of my life.
got this game in 3rd or 4th grade. I remember my bro and I splitting the costs, and I was skeptical at first if it would be a good game. I now love this game and still play it all these years later!
I usually to spend time just sailing around the sea just to listen to this music over and over. Oh, the memories! Loved this Zelda so much and it was my first one I played completely through
It's amazing when you realize that this game is eight years old, and that every time that you play it, it's still as incredible as the first time you played it. All games should be like that.
I loved this game purely because of the freedom and adventure! 😭😭 i miss my childhood! But like they say “Dont be sad because its gone, Be happy cause it happened”
This song is a burst of nostalgic beauty. The Wind Waker is one of my favorite games ever, and this is one of my favorite video game songs. Probably this and Sons of Skyrim are my favorites.
Bought this game about a month ago, beat it yesterday... And I already feel nostalgic and even sad from this song... Good job Nintendo. This is a wonderful game.
Unfortunately I didn't have a Gamecube. My Grandparents did, so a similar story, but I didn't go over often, and they didn't have many games. Just Luigi's Mansion, Fight Night, Sonic Adventure 2, and some Pokemon game. I think that was about it, lol.
I never played Zelda but I can tell you one amazing thing from my childhood.There was a game called Arcane Adventures.Amazing story and amazing overall game.The game also ha d a really nice exploration mechanic,and when you started sailing this was one of the songs playing.Hearing this song after so much time again makes me cry because of the good memories it holds in my heart,forever.But hey the game is coming out on may of 2022 with a full revamp and full story!Plus the game was created only by 1 person and his friends who all tried to put their heart into the game!
Yo no puedo decir cual es mi momento favorito de la industria de los videojuegos... hay muchos demaciado fantasticos Podria mencionar varios como cuando tenia 11 años, que tras 8 años pude terminar Mario 64 DS y llorar por primera vez en un videojuego, cuando tenia 9, que tras salir de una operacion estuve 6 meses con mis pies enyesados y fue cuando termine God Of War en mi PS2, cuando escuche por primera vez "another medium" de Undertale a los 14... cuando tras 4 años de pura practica a los 10 le pude ganar a un primo mio en el DBZ BT3..pero uno que es un Clarisimo candidsto fue cuando tenia 12 años e ize por primera vez la vela del Mascaron Rojo... recuerdo que me sorpredio su velocidad y no tenia idea de como controlarlo xd pero cuando tome bien el rumbo, cuando me detuve a oir The Great Sea que es mi segundo tema favorito en los videojuegos...toda esa sensacion de navegar ese basto mar, con el viento a mi favor, la libertad... el verdadero inicio de la aventura... Dios xd sin ningun tipo de broma recordarlo hasta me dan ganas de llorar... The Wind Waker es uno de los juegos mas especiales para mi, una experiencia totalmente unica que ni siquiera una saga llena de Obras Maestras pudo replicar xd Edit: La miercoles...Tan maravilloso es este remix que de verdad me inspire escribiendo, 12/10... es magestuoso
This game made me feel like I could do anything, go anywhere, sail the sea as long as I wanted... I think Wind Waker is one of the greatest of all Zelda games, but that's just my personal opinion :) The Ocean Theme made the game seem even bigger and more... I don't know, open I guess is the word, like it was saying, "Do whatever the heck you want, there's planety of space." Love Wind Waker and this music
i love this song when sailing on the ocean my number one legend of zelda game in my opinion i never finished it but i was almost there i will one day the nostalgia is so real
the sailing in Wind Waker is like... what made the game so rememberable for me. I played it when i was young and it's the best part I remember. Feeling that sense of open-ness available to you and the freedom.
I remember when I was 4 waking up on christmas morning at 4:00 am; not to get presents but to watch my older brother and I play Wind Waker. Next; I watched him play on an 8 hour car ride to my new home state; him playing Wand Waker the whole time. I remember being scared of the re-deads. Finally 6 years later I beat the game and we celebrated together. Thank you Wind Waker!
I remember one summer my friend and I played this game together. I would always play Link, and he'd be Tingle. Haters can say anything bad about this game they want, but the two of us had so much fun playing this...and the last day of summer, right before school started, we obliterated Ganondorf. It was such an epic feeling.
Just popped this bad boy in the GameCube after years and wow. It's art style has really stood the test of time phenomenally well. No other company has games that age as well as nintendos. Tell me a ps1 game that loads of people still play an talk about? Yet there are many such N64 games.
I met Zelda with BOTW. Love at first sight. I'm playing all the other games and The Wind Waker was the second. I loved going on sea voyages especially to listen to the music: it envelops you in positive energy, optimism. Still, both the game and the music deserve attention.🤩
I've never been a fan of the ocean. I never liked being surrounded by all that water with no land in sight... But this music stirs me up inside, the fanfare of being out open and free. Someday I wish to sail to this very music, feeling the wind in my hair and I want to remember this music forever.
"mom, i have to get my homework done of ill fail 4th grade!!" "one day you will learn that zelda is more important than an school honey. i mean look at me! now keep playing."
![Wind Waker Theme [FULL]](/img/n.gif)
its insane that this game is almost 20 years old. it could pass for something that released this year bc of the art style.
The advantage of Cel Shading
They really need to port it to the switch already

@@noahsmethers9339wind waker was a gamecube game
I loved the art style
This game, honestly is timeless. The art style really holds compared to even Twilight princess.
As a fan of TP, I have to admit that it looks terrible compared to WW.
That's because games that try to look realistic will age horribly as graphics improve. It's why OoT and TP don't look that great anymore. Compared to WW which still looks great and how I feel BoTW will look. Always good because they didn't try to be realistic.
and with such an amazing soundtrack. the music to dragon roost and forest haven are also great.
KartKing4ever its never about the graphics but the story and character development and adventure which the series truly holds for.
KartKing4ever BotW is a nice middle ground in terms of graphics. It's realistic yet cartoonish enough that it won't really age. Skyward Sword still looks good as well.
freedom sounds like this
This sounds like the zelda series feels.
This is what should play the 4th of July
Freedom sounds like rumbling.
I just wish there was a way to make the islands farther away just I could feel even more free like looking in any direction and nothing but water ah yes true freedom

This game marked my childhood entirely. I got it almost as soon as it came out and loved every part of it. I played the hell out of it.
Agreed
Exactly how i felt till my wii broke down on me and couldn’t read the gamecube disk anymore 😢

And then curse happens on your way to the 3rd dungeon.
The music is a great part of every successful Nintendo game..
absolutely. and what fantastic music they have made =)
They hire composers for exclusive projects..

I use the Song of Passing just because I like the music.
True 🍷🧐
This game hasn't aged one second.
this is truly an arcane adventure in a world of magic...
So glad a new generation of kids are experiencing this amazing game with the Wii U release. No other game gives you such a strong feeling of adventure, especially while listening to this song.

I was like 7 when this game came out. I have so much nostalgia. I LOVE IT. DEFINITELY MY TOP 5 FAVORITE GAMES
One of my favorite Zelda games.... Hunting the phantom boat, killing Gannondorf Bird, exploring islands

Over 20 years later and still no game has made me feel like this game made me feel when I was a kid
Its may 2003 im 10 years old ive bought this along with the ocarina of time bonus disc. Life is good!
it takes pure talent to write a song which is impossible to get tired of listening to...
The greatest "field" theme in Zelda history.
I've gotta say, Koji Kondo really knew what he was doing. He should be a film composer.
TempuS Damn chill out dude
I can't believe I've been coming back to this specific video for 15 years
I don't know why but the toon link games are the most memorable to me. the ones I have most memories of. Maybe because i enjoyed the more.
Same here! OOT and MM are awesome but I like the Toon Link games WAY more! ^^

Wind Waker has much more water than what IGN complained on Pokémon ORAS.
Wait ign did? Huh didn’t know.
Oooooooooooooooo
Underrated comment

The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker is the most underrated game in the Zelda franchise.
This theme actually brings a tear to my eye
I loved this game purely because of the freedom and adventure! 😭😭 i miss my childhood! But like they say
“Dont be sad because its gone, Be happy cause it happened”
Same here Bro!
We were so lucky 😉
"Set sail for adventure!"
We must sail *east*
@@Attaxalotl lol
I cannot believe this song used to annoy me! Man, this song is amazing! Personally, I think Wind Waker is the best Zelda game, hands down.
this is arguably the best zelda song in my opinion
This music is so nostalgic dude, i just love this, its a masterpiece and goes hard... many memories with this
This is the best video game song ever made. I get goosebumps everytime I hear it
Thats true, especially the Wind Temple stands out, the way its presented is just amazing

THE ABSOLUTE BEST OVERWORLD MUSIC EVER.. seriously this song single handedely captures the feel of the Zelda Games and the feeling of exploration.
My favorite Zelda game, them memories;_; This is the most adventurous sounding song in a Zelda game.
Great soundtrack fav Zelda game cause it holds the most memories the first time I played it !
This game has such good music
And to think you don't even know who did this song.

This song made me cry rn
So many good memories and nostalgia
It's rare for me to experience this much happiness
Good times back when I had the gamecube :)
Yep I don't have one anymore. :(
Still got mine! And playing this game still
My brother stole it from me to sell it for money (because he became a drug addict).
Literally no video game music has ever made me smile so much.
This is my favorite game.
Ever.
Of all time.
Adventure! Yeah!
What's most epic is when you set sail at sunrise and you hear the tune of daylight and then this theme starts playing, totally AWESOME!
Played this through headphones while sailing about in AC4. The nostalgia was almost painful.
Timeless masterpiece

So nostalgic :) i remember playing with a friend wwhen i was small, this game is a master piece!
My childhood and in my opinion the greatest game ever made! Long live windwaker!

Good old childhood time :'-)
Just popped this bad boy in the GameCube after years and wow. It's art style has really stood the test of time phenomenally well. No other company has games that age as well as nintendos. Tell me a ps1 game that loads of people still play an talk about? Yet there are many such N64 games.
This music is just awesome ^_^
Nothing can describe the feeling of setting sail on this massive ocean and hearing this for the first time.
When I hear this, I've always imagined sailing by the sea with very important and honorable assignment. I'm a daydreamer...
I met Zelda with BOTW. Love at first sight. I'm playing all the other games and The Wind Waker was the second. I loved going on sea voyages especially to listen to the music: it envelops you in positive energy, optimism. Still, both the game and the music deserve attention.🤩
I PROMISE, THIS SONG IS WORTH MORE THAN I CAN EXPLAIN!❤
Yup!
Absolutely
My childhood game I’ve replayed a lot on GameCube and Wii U
ADVENTURE YEAAAAAAHHHH
Please take me
Back, just one day.
This used to to Play 24/7 in my mind as a kid
I've never been a fan of the ocean. I never liked being surrounded by all that water with no land in sight...
But this music stirs me up inside, the fanfare of being out open and free.
Someday I wish to sail to this very music, feeling the wind in my hair and I want to remember this music forever.
Sooo many good memories :)
I will not cry...I will not cry...I will not cry...ok I failed...
Wuzz :v
Unmatched feeling of adventure.
Close your eyes and imagine you're sailing across the Great Sea
I think this is my top favorite Wind Waker song. I always find it popping into my head at random times.
I suggest anyone whose playing assassins creed black flag, listen to this while sailing in your ship BEST FEELING EVER
HOW DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT EARLIER?
Ricardo Longo I know right this guy's a genius!
this song fills my heart with joy and propels me forward every time i hear it
"mom, i have to get my homework done of ill fail 4th grade!!"
"one day you will learn that zelda is more important than an school honey. i mean look at me! now keep playing."
She was right
this music keeps my youthful dream alive, to someday travel the world and defeat evil courageously.

its time to continue our adventure everyone!
This really puts you in the mood for and epic adventure
