Only Nintendo could have taken this big a risk with one of the greatest gaming franchises in history. The new graphical look of the game was actually enough to turn many gamers off it. So picking this game up, I actually wasn't expecting to like it.
Wow, I was wrong. This game is almost the finest title in the long series, surpassed only by the monumental Ocarina of Time.
Still though, everything within Windwaker is top of the line, from the awesome graphics (I realized after playing that they were so cool), to the excellent storyline, to level design and music and sound effects and bosses and...
Simply put, LoZ: the Windwaker, is the finest game on GCN so far, and quite possibly the best game of 2003.
