#WIND WAKER SONGS WII U SERIES#

The sound effects are fantastic and really add to the enjoyment of the game вЂ“ for instance, when filling the magic meter, the sound that chimes when magic is found corresponds to how much magic there is left to fill in the bar, making a higher pitch as the meter is more full.The Legend of Zelda series has become an iconic part of gaming culture and the expectations riding on new titles are often outlandishly high. The music is also just as memorable with many of the old classic tunes with cool remixes that make them unique to this game. This style is one of my favourite looks for Zelda games, and makes me particularly excited for Into the Wild early next year as its seems to be a mix of this style and realistic Zelda games! The enemies are also extremely well designed and hilarious to see run around! The water and waves looks how you would out of a studio Ghibli movie. Link is amazingly animated with tons of facial expressions. In terms of graphics, this game is absolutely stunning and has held up extremely well, especially with the HD revision on the Wii U. Lastly, I didnвЂ™t really like having to call the wind regularly to send me in the correct direction, but later on in the game you get a super fast sail that moves the wind in whatever direction you are moving in, so this issues disappears completely! The original Gamecube version also had quite a few fetch quests in the later part of the game focused on sailing, but this was streamlined in the Wii U version of the game. Two thing I didnвЂ™t really like about sailing is that early on the game artificially prevents you from exploring the ocean by saying (you canвЂ™t go there yet вЂ“ go do this dungeon first!) but this issues clears up pretty early to let you explore the oceans as your leisure. I remember one afternoon I found couple fairy hideouts, an island covered in ice, and Tingles tower! Many of the islands are dungeons as well вЂ“ one of the early ones being a forest island with a familiar face! Among the ocean, tons of secrets can be found too! It has been a long while in a Zelda game where exploring reality felt like exploring.

The islands themselves are really cool to explore, There are a few larger islands like LinkвЂ™s home island and the main town Windfall island (this gameвЂ™s KakarikoВ village). For instance, Link can use bombs like cannon balls, and use the swinging rope to discover hidden treasure under the water! What makes this mode especially cool is that many items found in Links inventory have a ship function as well. For instance, the heavy boots are needed to get into the wind temple later in the game, which are found on their own little island.ДЄny now we come to the main unique feature of the Wind Waker! Sailing! Instead of having a regular world where you ride Epona through the fields, a sprawling ocean covers the land, and islands areВ sprinkled throughout for exploration! With the help of the actual Wind Waker (and item used to direct the winds, among other things), you can direct Link and his talking vessel King of the Red Lions across the oceans. These items also play an important role in exploration! In fact, in spicing up the regular progression of the game, many items are found between dungeons and the items are actually used to get into or locate the new dungeons.
