This game really is an instant classic, although not as aged as the 64 titles and beyond, this game really stood out as a treasure for its time. Just as other Zelda titles have done in the past. From the mechanics to the different(ish) twist on the storyline, this title was a masterpiece, especially for being a main Zelda title featuring the “Toon” World. Not only was the concept in story and graphic design great, but the controller mechanics had such a wide array of movesets, while somehow integrating it to the point of simplicity. The game really has the muster to appeal to gamers of all ages. The open world and high seas was also something to marvel at for the time, with treasures and inventory to find in places you could only get to acting on the game as a full scale exploration. The game had such a fresh new appeal at the time that it truly became one of the greats, and still to this day I give the replay value a 10/10. And that’s not just the nostalgia talking, although that is always a nice charm to have when replaying a classic such as this! Read full review

The Wind Waker has been a favorite game to me since my childhood. It encompasses many great features such as an open world, great dungeons, and the themes that the series has become well-known for. Though a lot of time is spent out on the waves, sailing to and from different islands across the map, that doesn't take away from the great characters and overall atmosphere of the game, which keeps you interested for hours at a time. There are more than enough side quests and mini-games to keep you busy for quite some time. As with any Zelda game, be ready to spend several hours enjoying every detail.

There is a reason why every true Zelda fan places this iteration in their top 3- it is a masterpiece. Like most Zelda games, it is not without its flaws. A barren overworld and drawn out travel mechanics aside, this game echoes all that has been great about Zelda since its inception; adventurous mechanics, stunning art, engrossing story and puzzles that could only be described as incredibly satisfying. A MUST OWN for any Zelda or Gamecube collector! File this one away under "instant classic".

Yes, the graphics are cartoony. Yes, you sail through the overworld instead of walking or riding a horse. It’s still a Zelda game through and through. It’s not in my top 3, but it’s still fantastic. Criminally underrated when it came out, and a must play for Zelda fans. If you’re new to the series, it could also be a good introduction, as it is significantly easier than the other entries. It’s just a really fun game. Play it.

The game arrived without the booklet but with the case and game. Game disc has a few scratches, but works perfectly! This really stirred up nostalgia to be able to play this game again. Game's camera function is garbage compared to today's games but otherwise is a good game.

While some people have criticized the use of cel-shading, I think that it suits the game. The gameplay and story are pretty enjoyable, and I'm glad I went through the trouble of buying it. However, I am dissatisfied with some of the controls. Having all special attacks with the sword be automatic instead of using jumping and one's own timing to fight armored enemies was a step backward in my opinion, and I see it as no coincidence that this approach seems to have been mostly abandoned in later Zelda titles. Also, some of the companion controls seen in the late-game dungeons I found to be frustrating and poorly planned, i.e. having the button for using the mirror shield be the same button used for calling over the very character you are trying to reflect the light from, and whom you thus would prefer to stay right where she is.Read full review

I never played this when it came out and love me some Zelda. It has all the good stuff you love about Zelda so I won't go to much into the good but focus on the bad. The sailing is repetitive and not really much fun. Especially at the end. Also the world map does not repeat making sailing even worse (You can't sail north and pop up on the southern edge of the map, its just a wall. The world is truely squared shaped). Fighting monsters is incredibly easy if you use the timed attack. Iron Knuckles are incredibly hard to kill without the parry timed attack (infact impossible). Only 5 main duengons. There is a 6th one you visit twice throughout the game but it doesn't feel like a true duengon. And the final boss lair might be considered a 7th. Everyone says its geared towards children with the design and difficulty level but I found the difficulty to be pretty high. I found all the Bosses to be atleast somewhat challenging. Compared to Twilight Princess all of these bosses are acutally harder in my opinion. The puzzels are standard Zelda difficulty and are no less challenging.Read full review
In a series known for its overworlds, this one has the worst. Might be best to lay your controller down while you wait 5 to 10 minutes to reach your destination by the snail-paced boat. The dungeons are not as good as previous games, and there aren't as many as most of the major titles, but they're still solid. Graphics have held up flawlessly, the music is good and the story is average. I'd give it a 8/10

Minor scratches, but ultimately, everything is fine! The game plays great!! Sometimes, the gamecube may have trouble reading it, but that can be fixed with a q tip and wiping off the glass lens inside the console. Just make sure everything's clean.
