smells like happy
Good game. There is some violence that is involved so I don't think it's good for those who would like to imitate a video game.
I played it and enjoyed it so very much.
though I don't know how I feel about link looking like a powerpuff girl...

A fun game with a sense of individuality and complexity.
This game is okay for all ages, but it may be a bit hard for younger kids and the ending is a bit violent, but there is no gore. The theme is a bit sad/scary. The enemy slicing is not neccessary in the game, and nothing is graphical. It just may not be right that all the bosses except one act as if suffering when you win.
This is, in general, a good game that will be some fun for all ages.

Perfect for Zelda fans of all ages that can play and appreciate the games
This is one of Nintendo's best Zelda games (top 5). I got this game about a year after it came out, and I LOVED IT. It's pretty easy to play, but the only concern that i have at ALL is the final scene. Let's just say (to avoid spoilers) that you see Link bury the Master Sword into the top of a villain's head. It's totally bloodless and not gorey at all, but it would disturb some younger audiences, since the bad dude still talks after it, and then turns to stone (with the sword still there). That's my ONLY concern. Other than that, kids will find it fun because of it's cel-shaded graphics, ease of play, likeable characters, and the occasional humorous scene. Great game for kids!

get your kids into rpgs
I have this. kids can play this if they're patient sailing
from land to land. you may need to help them go to the right place, so it's better if the parents are into it like the kids.

Brilliant game but disturbing ending
VIOLENCE
+ Cartoon violence is not particularly scary for *most* of the game.
- ***spoiler alert*** I was VERY shocked and disturbed by the violent end to the final battle, when Link jumps and stabs Ganon through the top of his head. If it were not for this one violent moment, I would have said this game is appropriate for ages 9+.
LANGUAGE
+ None.
SEX
- None.
OTHER
+ Incredibly fun and beautiful game with a great soundtrack. A must-play for any fan of the Zelda franchise or other adventure games.

Teh Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
Truely a great game. Very long, and could be hard to catch onto for younger players.

Zelda does it again!!
This Zelda is fun and bright. It's also probably one of the biggest Zelda's out there, because of the nearly endless ocean and multiple possibilities of exploration. Totally worth it.

Great game
This is one of my favorite Zelda games. It's a lot of fun and even though some have complained about the cartoon-like graphics, I really enjoy playing this game. Be sure to play all of the sidequest games too, they're a lot of fun.
