First rule of starting a new Wind Waker playthrough: you *_MUST_* listen to this at least once before advancing past the title screen.

[@Adventurous01]

Ikr it's so good

[@cream9561]

the first time I heard it I loved it so much

[@JustAWildSkullKid]

Uhm, I disagree. Maybe you meant every time you boot up the game?

[@dragonboy6437]

If you don’t you go to hell

[@jessygingles30]

Absolutely.

[@seyvend]

Old enough to remember the meltdown that the gaming community had when the cel shaded graphics were first shown. What a masterpiece of a game.

[@Sgtnolisten]

To be fair to us back then, games had been pushing graphics as a necessity to be taken seriously for decades. Going from OoT and MM, which looked so realistic it blew our minds back then, to a Saturday morning cartoon style was like saying it’s not worthy of recognition.

[@meta-meta]

@@Sgtnolisten plus Nintendo had already been teasing graphics similar to what would come years later with Twilight Princess. It was the sudden 180 that got everyone upset. Turned out to be a great game though.

[@ZOSO900]

I was about to say that. I saw a screen shot of an ultra realistic Zelda at about the same time that Wind Waker was announced.

[@seyvend]

@@ZOSO900 there’s the famous E3 video where Link is battling Ganondorf, completely different graphical style to WW

[@AnAnonymousPenguin]

@@Sgtnolisten It's funny because now OoT's graphics look awful compared to WW's

[@charlesbradshaw205]

I love how this sounds very Celtic and medieval!

[@00s.v.n.s00]

That's what I *love* about it!

[@hinkhall5291]

It’s noteworthy how Zelda started with Japanese influences, transitioned to European influences then found a good balance of both in the latest games.

[@Ryan-jq4wz]

@@hinkhall5291 in reality the Zelda license was little attached to Japanese influences. They have always sought to mix genres. For example Ocarina, with Gerudo which are very inspired by Andalusia/Arab world

[@BdL2417]

Love how it’s a pre-cursor mix of the Earth God’s Lyric/Medli’s Prayer and the Wind God’s Aria/Makar’s Prayer.

[@kellytravis5880]

Out of all the Legend Of Zelda games out there, the Wind Waker is my favorite in the series

[@ronkelley1721]

Yes indeed!

[@sayzin]

This song is enough to make me cry by itself. I feel like I'm ancient hearing it again after so long.

[@explosiveejaculate6484]

I’m glad I’m not the only one! It was so fucking long ago before we had anything to worry about

[@RoachDogg_JR]

Reminder: people HATED this game when it came out. And now it's recognized as a masterpiece. Apologize right now to Wind Waker.

[@traviscunningham7062]

People only hated it because of the childish style, but I love it. It’s super timeless unlike Twilight Princess which looks ugly and dated.

[@darkhunter5293]

I actually enjoyed it........With one exception, which I hated with the passion of a thousand burning suns: Grinding for 3.5k just to get ripped off by Tingle just to officially reach the endgame!

[@traviscunningham7062]

Skyward Sword also looks timeless. Even the Wii version upscaled with a component cable will still look super gorgeous.

[@keatonkitsune4064]

It is in my opinion the second weakest 3D Zelda game, the worst being Skyward Sword. Though Makar will always be my pal.

[@losalphaenterprises]

@@traviscunningham7062 I actually think twilight princess HD has the best art style in the whole series. I love windwaker btw

[@LinkmanWorld]

BotW and TotK have great themes but nothing can ever beat this

[@TheGamer-yp7ns]

Yup

[@HawksDellas]

Music taste is subjective, while I do agree WW along with other previous titles from the franchise have amazing and memorable songs you cannot deny the fact that BotW's and TotK's soundtrack is on a league of its own when it comes to orchestral composition

[@LinkmanWorld]

@@HawksDellas They do have some amazing songs, but I can literally recall the opening theme to WW clear as day. Even the song in the first cutscene is still fresh in my mind. BotW and TotK are way too minimalistic, there are only a few village and shrine themes I’ll probably look back on in the future.

[@sandraospina1313]

Botw and totk title theme:

[@annihilate_cr6018]

These games don’t even have any songs save for boss battles. Pretty shit imo.

[@G-DORA]

God it's so iconic and I've never even played it before.

[@silvershrike007]

you really should, it’s a great intro to the zelda series and a fantastic game overall! you can emulate it with cemu too

[@G-DORA]

@@silvershrike007 no pc at the moment, only my switch and I have limited bandwidth for it unfortunately. So I won't be playing it anytime soon but it's on the bucket list 🙏🏾

[@knight808]

@@G-DORA ay, you don't require a pc to emulate them! Tried nearly all Zelda games on my phone, they ran just amazingly, including wind waker in all of its glory, I feel like it would be worth it if your device was good enough. My midrange phone pulled through all of that and I enjoyed the whole of wind waker, twilight princess.

[@HENNY_22]

Same i dont own a wii u but if it comes out for the switch i will definetifly get it

[@Indurok]

I only played it for the first time recently on my uncle's GameCube. I love the game, even though, like every other Zelda game, it has its frustrating moments. I bought myself a GameCube from Amazon so that I could have my uncle's extra copy.

[@pieisgood2372]

My very First Zelda Game ever. I wish I could go back in time to experience it all again!

[@Radiumgtag]

This was my first too

[@pikabr0oAo]

also same same

[@andybuttz]

As someone who played Zelda from the SNES upwards including all the GB platform games I hated this when I first saw the previews and the graphical change. After playing it though I can honestly say this was peak Zelda and the absolute best game in the series. Nothing after it compares. Even BotW or TotK.

[@FunnyTopHatFrog]

@@andybuttz I thought totk was a little better, but then I remembered the BANGER soundtrack and the fun gameplay

[@razziechkn]

One of my fav Zelda games of all time

bro i used to play this game all the time with my half sister when i was like 7, i was so bad at it but she was so patient with me. i really bonded with my sister over that so thank you wind waker

[@misfitgaming2935]

Me too the wind waker soundtrack is really good and adds it’s own unique charm to the game

[@ZefDavenport]

Wind Waker is my second favourite game, after Ocarina of Time. Yes, Majora's Mask was amazing, but there's something about this game I just love.

[@ronkelley1721]

I think it's the cartoon like characters that set it apart from any of the other series!! Plus the game play is so awesome!!

[@metalmayfantasy]

This is the perfect alarm music to wake up to.

[@ewanherbert3402]

Absolute Peak. Wind Waker may not be the most finished or polished Zelda game, but it's the most beautiful and human game in the series.

[@lukedavies3654]

Things I would do to see the full console sequel and cut content, yet it is still an incredible game in spite of the past’s limitations. It’s almost thematic to the game’s story

[@GM360]

i played this game so much as a kid, on the wii u. my dad had (and still has) the gamecube version as a kid so we have both played it a ton. the day we got our wii u, was christmas. we unwrapped this game and then my dad brought out the console box and we immediately started playing. my older brother got further than i did for a long time but i think he slowly lost interest so i was able to take over. this ended up being the first zelda game i have completed and i'm glad it was, because i love this game even more now. it has a special place in my heart that not a lot of people my age also share, somehow, which i think is sad. if you haven't played the game before, go buy it rn it's worth every penny

[@lorenzodimichele3270]

Sit down, close your eyes, imagine to be in a pub in the center of Dublin eating an Irish stew and drinking and an half pint of Guinness, and listening in background to an ensemble of local artists performing this masterpiece in front of you.... the perfect dream!

I used to really really loved Zelda as a kid man ESPECIALLY Wind Waker I would leave my Wii on (I played a lot of GameCube games on there come to think of it) and fall asleep with the menu on because that opening tune was so upbeat and comforting even though in hindsight it probably fucked up my Wii a bit I guess I was so young I didn’t understand the concept of KZbin or looking up a song at the time lmfao.
