The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, released as The Legend of Zelda: Baton of Wind (ゼルダの伝説 風のタクト Zeruda no Densetsu: Kaze no Takuto) in Japan, is an action-adventure game and the tenth installment in The Legend of Zelda series.

The game is set on a group of islands in a vast sea—a first for the series. The player controls Link, the protagonist of the Zelda series, as he struggles to find his sister and save the world from Ganondorf.

The Wind Waker follows in the footsteps of Ocarina of Time and its sequel Majora's Mask, retaining the basic gameplay and control system from the two Nintendo 64 titles. A heavy emphasis is placed on using and controlling wind with a baton called the Wind Waker, which aids sailing and floating in air. Though controversial during development for its use of cel shading graphics and the cartoon Link character, The Wind Waker was met with positive reception.
