Is it still worth playing?
Nintendo's 2002 Zelda for the GameCube, directed by Eiji Aonuma, set on the islands of the Great Sea, where Link sets out to save his younger sister from the sorcerer Ganondorf. Getting between those islands means sailing. The sea is 49 gridded sections, each with an island or a chain of islands, and the wind blows in one of eight directions, which you change with the Wind Waker baton. On it, a sea chart records each square, and later charts point to treasure. As for the look, it is cel shaded, with real time lighting and depth of field blur. Dungeons and tools that follow each other without busywork still make it worth sailing today, in a look that keeps its charm.
