the best legend of zelda game made so far. Looking forward for the HD remake later this year

Love this game. Absolutely remarkable ending. The last dungeon, miniboss, Puppet Ganon, Ganondorf, his speeches, the cutscenes, the head stabbing, credits music and the last scene before the "The End" gives this game so much replay value.

Tingle is the wannabe fairy from Majora's Mask not OoT but few people seem to realize anyway.

What is better? Windwaker, Skyword Sword, or Twilight Proncess? Played Majoras mask And Ocerina of Time, I doubt any Zelda will live up to them. Can anyone prove me wrong?

@Dredcrumb9  lol The Wind Waker is the best zelda game. Its just soooooooooo big,shrouded with mysteries and theres always awesome stuff happening in the sea. You just have that feeling of freedom when cruising in the sea,coming across a new island or outposts,a tornado or giant squid... The combat is awesome and so is the story. Theres lots of side missions and secrets.I seriously recommend you this game I have so many great memories of it.

THIS GAME NEED TO COME OUT FOR WIIU!!!! Tingle tuner on the controller screen. Hell, I'd get a WiiU just to replay this game. Add WiiMotionPlus support to items! That one's free Nintendo.

He says the master sword plays a large role, "it wouldn't be a Zelda game if it didn't" what about Majora's Mask?

This game's art style makes it look good even today. Simply genius decision on the visual department. And it doesn't hurt either that the gameplay was polished to perfection.

The first dungeon and boss were actually the hardest in my opinion.

Despite what the review says, this game is not to easy. It has the perfect difficulty. I had more fun playing this game than any other one that I've ever played. In my opinion, second only to Ocarina of Time.

It always bugged me that Jeff said Tingle was from Ocarina of Time. In fact, he acted like Majora's Mask didn't even exist at this point, weird.

@pgf95 I was able to get a used "Like New" copy on Amazon.com. In the description the seller said the disc was mint and he did not lie. The booklet was mint and the disc is mint as a brand new game, no scratch whatsoever. I only paid $18 for it. :) Go to amazon click on Wind Waker and then "Used". Go to "Like new" descriptions. Or you could buy it New there too for advanced prices of course. Peace bro!

This game actually looks good in 2010. I can see where Mini Ninjas got its style from.

this reviewer is more giving tips than he is actually reviewing it, very boring.

@B-boy: Sony will never have a Zelda clone. The reason? Wll because nobdy has ever come close to cloning Zelda.

I don't get why so many people hate cell shaded art. I think the art style is great.

I never wanted to get this game cause I thought toon link was to kiddish. Let me tell you something, I am 100% retarded because of that. I am now going to go to my local gamestop and buy wind waker.
