The narrative is difficult to put into perspective alongside the franchise's predecessors - but not to say it isn't fantastic.
Your horse has been replaced with a ship - and you'll be boundlessly sailing to whatever goals your heart is set on. This time, you'll be doing it on the sea. The core mechanics of what makes The Legend Of Zelda great are all there - refined combat, emotional storyline, gorgeous locations to explore, and an endless amount of things to do. The Wind Waker holds the same excellent standards as a Zelda game ever has. That premise could not be further the truth.
Everything about Wind Waker seems to be a stripped-down version of what made the past two games great - and tailored for children. The dramatically changed art style made players wonder if they'd get the same monumental experiences as seen in Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker caused a stir for different reasons upon its announcement.
