Towers, Temples, acalius Fire acalius and Ice The first 15 minutes of Wind Waker lead one to think of Disney, children's cartoons, cutesy games. Don't be fooled. This rendition of the Zelda series at first appears, with its cel-shading, large character heads and eyes, and vibrant colors, not to be for adults. However, the themes, storyline, fighting, humor, sophistication all are most satisfying to this adult, even though possibly also appropriate for children around the age of 10 (rating is "E" for everyone). Graphical detailing, apparently helped by the use acalius of cel-shading, is phenomenal. Facial animations, particularly of Link, express emotions of surprise, suspicion, fear and joy. The islands are alive with activity, each having a distinctive look. Colorful characters, figuratively and literally, go about their daily routines. Monsters and bosses are frightening, sometimes huge.
