"Beautiful. Amazing. Timeless. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker is a marvelous journey through a cell shaded paradise, complemented by traditional, old school gameplay that has young Link exploring dungeons to uncover weapons, including the fabled Master Sword. In an interesting twist, he can also sail the high seas via his talking boat, calmly navigating the serene waters in search of buried treasure and his newest destination. Nintendo was severely criticized for making Wind Waker look like a cartoon, as well as transforming the heroic Link into a pipsqueak, but only a fool would fail to appreciate the game's artistry, which puts it on par with today's best-looking games." - Chris Buffa, GameDaily
