Like about a million other gamers out there, I was upset with the unveiling of "Cel-da," and made more than my fair share of smart comments about the new art direction Miyamoto was taking with one of my most beloved franchises. However, once you sit down and start playing the game, all references to the "I want to be a dentist" elf in Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer fly out the window; and you find yourself lost in this masterpiece. Big portions of the game are very similar to Ocarina of Time, but there are a number of new additions - like the sailing and tag-teaming in dungeons - that push the gameplay and this adventure to the top of the modern-era Zeldas. There are a couple of times when the sailing really bogs this title down, but that's the only knock I have against The Wind Waker. Otherwise, it's perfect.
