The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
Wind Waker was the bravest Zelda game Nintendo ever made. After Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask proved hits, fans demanded more of the same. Instead, director Eiji Aonuma dared to embrace change, delivering a cute, animated interpretation, with a younger Link searching for his kidnapped sister, not Zelda. Yet naysayers were silenced by ingenious dungeon designs providing memorable challenges, while the same cel-shaded style that drove some to apoplexy yielded stunning visuals, flawlessly capturing the imaginative sea-faring, pirate-filled journey at hand. In hindsight, Wind Waker is an undeniable work of art.
