The Legend of Zelda - The Wind Waker

Thoughts

I haven’t played the original GameCube release of Wind Waker for a long time. Unfortunately, my childhood copy of it was a casualty of my selloff of many games back when I was in college… That said, I really like this game! The cel shaded art style has aged very well compared to most games of its era. The Legend of Zelda - The Wind Waker HD looks excellent as a result as well in its higher resolution presentation.

Compared to The Legend of Zelda - The Phantom Hourglass, this game’s ocean overworld is vastly more fun to traverse and explore, even if it gets to be a bit tedious at times. The HD version’s golden sail makes this a much smaller issue, though.

I’d love to play this game again sometime on the original hardware, but I have to imagine that used prices are absurd these days for something like Wind Waker.

I checked on this, and used prices are between $70and$100 for a complete-in-box copy of Wind Waker, so not awful I suppose, but not great either.
