Yahtzee: What I like about Wind Waker over, say, Twilight Princess is that it doesn't take itself so fucking seriously! Link is dripping with visual personality entirely distinct from the player's actions; he's profoundly thick, almost to the edge of the special school spectrum, but earnest and endearing with it. He doesn't put on the green uniform because he was destined to by the will of the Force or whatever it is, but because his nan was forcing him to take part in Ocarina of Time cosplay. And you can wear lobster-patterned jim-jams instead after the formality of the first playthrough. I couldn't picture Twilight Princess Link rocking the lobster-patterned jim-jams unless they'd been soaked overnight in a grimy pond. The point is, Wind Waker Link doesn't march about with self-righteousness jammed up his arse like a frozen tentpole 'cause he's naturally destined to be oh-so-bloody-great at everything; he's a character, with flaws and goals: rescue sister, drink soup, take photos of everything for some reason; that's engaging! A cardboard mute predetermined by fate to absentmindedly bumble his way to success is not! Admittedly, that sort of thing does start seeping its way into Wind Waker later on when Princess Zelda shows up and starts blandly puppy-dogging her way through every scene, but by then I'm invested!
