The Legend of Zelda: The WindWaker

So this post is dedicated to one of my favourite games of all time.

The Legend of Zelda: 

THE WINDWAKER

This game is extremely old yet a legend and I still have it and I'm replaying it. Also another thing, I'm typing in blue because a main part in the game is sailing through sea. A small summary of the game is written in the back of the box and it says:

An Evil Wind is Rising

Legend has it that whenever evil has appeared, a hero named Link has risen to defeat it. That legend continues on the surface of a great and mysterious sea as Link sets off on his most epic and awe-inspiring adventure yet. Aided by a magical conductor's baton called the Wind Waker, he will face unimaginable monsters, explore puzzling dungeons, and meet a cast of unforgettable characters as he searches for his kidnapped sister.

In this post I will try to summarize the game as much as possible starting now.

You wake up one morning on Outset Island by your sister's yell of your name and it's your birthday. She gives you her telescope and you spot a huge bird in the sky being shot by a pirate ship. It turns out the bird was carrying a young girl. As the bird gets hit it drops the girl in a forest and you must rescue her. Your grandmother gives you green clothes A.K.A. Link's trademark. As well as the Hero Sword and you enter the forest. You save the girl and find out her name is Tetra and she is the captain of the Pirate Ship.

You and the pirates set sail to the Forsaken Fortress, the giant birds hide out, but there doesn't seem to be a way to get in, thus, pirates, as smart as they are, place you in a cannon and shoot you towards the castle. As you fall in the castle you happen to lose your sword so you need to sneak your way to your sword at the top of the castle (what a coincidence).

 Once you reach the top, you find your sister in a cage along with more girls and you discover that the birds been capturing young girls with pointy ears. As you enter the room, though, the bird captures you and flies you over to his leader, you don't see him very well but he commands the bird to get rid of you, so he throws you away. You get woken up by a voice, you open your eyes and you're in a boat. You can't find where the voice is coming from and unbelievably it comes from the boat, he calls himself, the King of Red Lions. He tells you about the man you saw that night, his name was Ganon... And he's, quoting the game. "He who obtained the power of the gods, attempted to cover the land in darkness, and was ultimately sealed away by the very power he hoped to command. He is the very same Ganon... The emperor of the dark realm the ancient legends speak of... I do not know why the seal of the gods has failed, but now that Ganon has returned, the world is once again being threatened by his evil magic." Even though the King of Red Lions has the power to speak, it does not have the power to contain a sail, so you need to get it in the island which you're at, Windfall Island.

After you get the sail, you don't need to do it now but it'll be useful for later, to save Tingle. (He's found in the door behind the dancing Elvis). He sees that you're wearing similar clothes than him so for freeing him and being related to him in a way, he gives you the Tingle Tuner (An item that lets you play with a Game Boy Advanced letting a second player come in the game) and the Tingle map (A map that lets you find Tingle) there's a little hole hiding in the jail with a tunnel leading to the Picto Box (An item that lets you take pictures in black and white) but it's optional to get it. You now have the sail and you can set sail to your next destination, Dragon Roost Island.

This is a big game with a lot of side quests and I expected to summarize the whole game in this blog, but I need details to explain the game. What I'm saying is that this will be part one of the Legend of Zelda: The WindWaker. The next destination is going to explain why this game is called The Legend of Zelda: The WindWaker and also we shall fight our first boss.
