The earliest trailer for the game, shown in Spaceworld 2001, showed that the lighting and particle systems were already in place. However, the voice of Link from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' was used as a placeholder, as the final voices for Link had not been recorded yet. The game's HUD was created in a style akin to that of the two N64 Zelda games before it. Link himself had clothing slightly different from his final clothing at this stage. | The earliest trailer for the game, shown in Spaceworld 2001, showed that the lighting and particle systems were already in place.

''The Wind Waker'''s music had an overall Irish theme, with wood winds and string instruments taking center stage in crafting a beautiful sound track for the world to fall in love with. The Overworld theme is replaced with “The Great Sea”. Link does not use an instrument in this game, instead using a conductor's baton, the Wind Waker. With this Link conducts tunes in ¾, 4/4, and even 6/4. | ''The Wind Waker'''s music had an overall Irish theme, with wood winds and string instruments taking center stage in crafting a beautiful sound track for the world to fall in love with.
