The Wind Waker is the first Zelda game for the [[Nintendo GameCube]], and it features one of the first implementations of [[wp:cel-shaded animation|cel-shaded animation]] in video games. The stunning cel-shaded graphics give the people and places of Link's watery world a wildly artistic new look. And, for the very first time, Link sails freely on the high seas!

Although the game implements a vastly different graphical style, The Wind Waker stays true to its glorious heritage of seamlessly combining the classic sword-swinging action, perplexing puzzles, and stirring story lines that have made previous Zelda games so great.

The Wii U version, titled '''The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD''', was released for Wind Waker's 10th anniversary. It improves the game's resolution so that it looks great on high definition screens. Additional features include changes to gameplay progression, increased sailing speed, and Tingle online. Integration with the Wii U tablet also adds control changes when using items, the map, and game options.

As with all Zelda games, The Wind Waker features several dungeons — large, enclosed, and often underground areas. Link battles enemies, collects items, and solves puzzles to progress through a dungeon, fighting a boss at the end. To complete a dungeon, Link primarily uses a sword and shield. Other weapons commonly used by Link include a bow and arrow, a boomerang, bombs, and a grappling hook. Certain enemy weapons can be picked up and used, a feature new to the Zelda series.
