| Link, a young boy of twelve
who lives near the sea, has recently celebrated
his twelfth birthday with his family. One day,
Link and his younger sister, Aryll, spot a pirate
ship attacking a gigantic bird. The bird had
carries off the female captain of the pirates,
Tetra. The bird drops the captain nearby when it
gets hit by a cannon ball. Link goes to
investigate, and finds the pirate alive. But
Aryll is kidnapped in front of Link's eyes by the
same bird. So begins a grand adventure for Link,
which takes him over land and sea in rescue of
his younger sister. Wind
Waker is very different from previous Zelda
games, because of the graphical style and because
much of the game involves ocean exploration
instead of land exploration. But many classic
Zelda elements have also returned, like old
enemies and the Ganon/Hyrule story, in new and
exciting forms. A neat feature is the Tingle
Tuner. If a Game Boy Advance is hooked up to the
GameCube, a second player can use the GBA as a
kind of radar map, which reveals many extra items
and features. The second player can thus act kind
of like Navi from OoT.
