I have to admit that I was very, very skeptical of WW. I had originally seen the amazing graphics Nintendo displayed at E3 that year, with the clip of Link fighting Ganon against a backdrop of what I assumed was Ganon's tower and the Triforce of Power.Then they showed WW. I was very disappointed, and had not originally planned on buying it. I ended up getting it as a gift during the summer. Popped the game in... and proceeded to then not sleep for about three weeks. Played it absolutely nonstop. I love exploring in real life, and that carries over on to games. WW was so absolutely expansive, the music and characters were charming, and though decieving at first, I ended up loving the graphics. Puppet Ganon was so absolutely enormous haha.Only thing I did not like was how long it took to get anywhere. I could just put something on my controller to hold down the button for the ship, go make a sandwhich, read a book, paint a picture, take a nap, come back and I'd be only halfway to where I was heading haha.I'm really looking forward to the new Zelda, but Wind Waker was certainly memorable.
