| <!--Please SUMMARIZE the story, focusing on exposition.-->

| |
| ==Graphics==
| |
| ''The Wind Waker'' uses a unique style of cel-shading, designed to emulate the style of a large-studio animated film instead of the simpler style of a comic book or television animation. As such, background elements use textures that are somewhat more detailed than those used for non-static objects, such as characters. A cloth simulation system, which affects cloth and hair, provides some realism, as does the subtle depth of field effect and image distortion caused by heat.

| ==Reception==
| |
| During Spaceworld 2000, Nintendo showed several tech demos for the then-unreleased GameCube showing off the power of the system. One of the demos consisted of Link and Ganondorf battling each other. Fans and industry reporters assumed that the next Zelda game would be in a realistic style. However, in Spaceworld 2001, a trailer featuring a cel-shaded child Link was shown, eliciting anger from fans, many of whom criticized the graphics as "childish".
| |
|
| |
| When ''The Wind Waker'' was released in 2003, it received almost universal critical acclaim, in part due to the cel-shaded graphics style. Critics also praised the new gameplay mechanic of sailing, as well as the musical score. However, there were also points of contention about the game; the Great Sea featured in the game almost seemed too big, and sailing took quite a long time to accomplish, making side-quests and the storyline itself quite a long task to accomplish. Some critics also expressed dislike with the depth of field. Despite the negatives, the game received a 40/40 from the notoriously strict Japanese gaming magazine [[wp:Famitsu|Famitsu]], making ''The Wind Waker the second Zelda game to receive a perfect score from Famitsu.
