In this timeless classic with a unique and colorful "toon-shaded" art style, players guide Link as he sets out on the massive Great Sea to find his kidnapped sister. Players will sail the seas in search of lost islands, fight fearsome enemies, take on mighty bosses and seek out the legendary Triforce. Exclusive Limited Edition includes The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD Game & Limited Edition Ganondorf Collectible 5" Figurine.

I remember getting the Wind Waker for the GameCube way back when the game came out many years ago. I was only just barely a teenager at that time but I knew I had to have the game after seeing screenshots of it in my Nintendo Power magazines. Finally, the day came when I got the game in the mail. My mom had ordered the special bundle for me from Nintendo Power that included the game along with things like the players guide and various other bonuses. I played the heck out of that game. I would come home from a long day at school and sit for several hours at a time, after getting my homework done of course.

Fast forward to the year 2013 and we are reintroduced to this amazing title in full blown HD. The graphics are a very nice edition to the game as a whole. I found myself just staring at some of the environments in amazement of how great everything looked. I remember everything about The Wind Waker. The characters, the great rides from island to island, the story, and the music. There is so much in this game that really speaks to me in terms of the environment. The characters feel lifelike as you progress on your journey. Of course, some may feel confused by that statement because this game is not one of those where photorealism is a thing. To me, a game is meant to be played to escape reality... not to live in it.

The limited edition bundle that includes a copy of the game and a statue of Ganondorf himself (the villain in most Zelda titles) is actually pretty nice. I preordered the bundle as soon as it was announced. The statue feels great in the hand is of high quality. There is one thing that should be noted. The North American version of this limited edition does NOT come with a glass dome like the European edition does. The North American version comes with a base, the statue itself, and the tassels that hook to the ends of Ganondorfs swords for decoration.
