The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker is an action game developed by Nintendo EAD and released on GameCube, Wii U. It featured a new style of graphics called "Cell Shading" which gave the game a cartoon look. Despite some of the innovative new features in the game such as Cell Shading and the ability to connect your Game Boy Advance to the console for gameplay, it received a relatively poor reception from its fan base at the time.
The main criticisms seemed to stem from gut reactions over the unusual art style and other departures from the series. Over time, however, the game has come to be respected as one of the best in The Legend of Zelda series. Wind Waker was a critical and commercial success leading to its HD rerelease on the Wii U in October 2013.

World Map
One of the more difficult things to do in Wind Waker, once you gain access to the King of Red Lions and the Sail item, is navigating the Great Sea. In each area on the map (which is shown below), you will find a Fishman swimming around. Putting an All-Purpose Bait in the water nearby the Fishman will make it swim up to the surface and eat it, with it marking the nearby island on your Sea Chart.
Equipment
There are many different pieces of equipment Link will find throughout his adventure in Wind Waker, ranging from weapons to everyday items. The things you find in the game are split into various categories, depending on its use in the game, which you will find on the following pages.
- — Weapons
- — Enemy Weapons
- — Misc. Equipment
- — Items
- — Decorations
- — Spoils
Wind Waker Songs
When Link first arrives on Dragon Roost Island, he will be given the Wind Waker item from the King of Red Lions. He can conduct songs with the Wind Waker, allowing him to learn a total of six songs throughout the game. Link learns songs in three different time signatures (3/4, 4/4 and 6/4), with him learning two songs in each signature.
