Legend of Zelda Wind Waker

Testimonials

“If I had a favorite character it was probably Link. Otherwise I didn’t necessarily have one. In The Legend of Zelda Wind Waker your main companion is this talking boat. You spend a lot of time with it so it becomes a pretty memorable character.”

“For Wind Waker I was pretty young when I played it and I remember being stuck on it a lot. It wasn’t particularly complicated but for an eight year old, I didn't understand how to solve certain puzzles or analyze dialog to know where to go next. Certain skills like those that are probably pretty important. I remember being pretty confused by it and then it was a big deal to me when I was finally able to progress past a certain point. And then that game also involved a lot of sailing as a means of traveling. Just sailing through the endgame sea is a pretty memorable experience.”

“Thinking back it's not even a lot of times that I was stuck, it was that I was a young kid and certain areas were kinda creepier and gave me more anxiety than other areas. And I think I would just avoid playing the game for a bit until I was “Alright, I’m bored, maybe I should do this.” And then I would get through those areas. But I guess that’s what made them memorable is that they were creepy, scary areas. One of those areas the big gimmick was you lost your weapon so you didn’t have a weapon to use. If you got spotted you’d get reset back to the starting area. It's interesting how games can involve a lot of different genres.”

“In Wind Waker there was a fortress where the bad guy lives, for lack of a better way to put it. Him and side villains like a bird monster thing. That was their home base, so that obviously made it a lot more scary. And the enemies, they look like monsters so you don’t want to get caught by those.”
