HI...I'm yer friend now, if you wanna still be.
And Wind Waker...
To me, there is magic right there. The art and graphics styles are very rare- not only for Gamecube, but for the gaming world as a whole! The fact that they are done so brilliantly helps...they can be dark when needed, but they portray a sense of smileyness to me when I see them. That by no means restricts its age group, though...it is still charming, fun, and in my case, addictive. The plot is only slightly predictable, as it follows the Zelda formula (rise out of nowhere, do three dungeons and get the Master Sword, then do a few more dungeons and kill Ganon), but still has good and memorable moments along the way.
All in all, my second favorite Zelda.
