About this game

Nintendo's 2002 GameCube Zelda, the one drawn as a cartoon, which critics called Celda when it was shown. The world is an ocean divided into forty nine squares, crossed in a talking boat called the King of Red Lions, and the wind decides how fast you get anywhere. The baton is how you change it. Conduct the Wind's Requiem and the wind turns to where you want it, and other tunes warp you across the map or move the time of day. Combat is lock on, sword and shield. Near the end the game stops the story to make you find eight pieces of the Triforce, which means buying charts and paying to have each one read. The drawing is why it did not date, because nothing in it was trying to look real.
