| '''''The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker''''' (ゼルダの伝説 風のタクト, ''Zeruda no Densetsu Kaze no Takuto'', lit. "The Legend of Zelda: Baton of Wind") is the tenth game in [[The Legend of Zelda (universe)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series of video games]]. ''The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass'' for the [[Nintendo DS]] is the direct sequel to ''The Wind Waker''.

| The game is set on a group of islands in a vast sea—a first for the series. What lies beneath this sea are the ruins of the kingdom of [[Hyrule]] from [[Ocarina of Time]]. The player controls [[Link]], the protagonist of the Zelda series. He struggles against his nemesis, [[Ganondorf]], for control of a sacred relic known as the Triforce. Link spends a significant portion of the game sailing, traveling between islands, and traversing through dungeons and temples to gain the power necessary to defeat Ganondorf. He also spends time trying to find his little sister.

| ''The Wind Waker'' follows in the footsteps of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'', retaining the basic gameplay and control system from the [[Nintendo 64]] title. A heavy emphasis is placed on using and controlling wind with a baton known as the Wind Waker, which aids sailing and floating in air. Critics enjoyed the similarity to ''Ocarina of Time'', but often complained that the large amount of sailing became tedious. Despite this, the game has met commercial and critical success, which resulted with generally favorable reviews.
