Link returns in an all new adventure, with a brand new cel-shaded graphical style.

Set on a small island in the middle of a great ocean, Link is living peacefully with his Grandmother when some pirates pull up next to his island. Soon after a giant bird flies in out of nowhere, and grabs the young pirate captain, Tetra. As the hero that he is, Link heads off and rescues her, only for the bird to kidnap his sister.

Now Link must head out on an even bigger adventure to save his sister. Along the way, he will discover the mystery behind the great bird and the secrets of the ocean around him as well as receive the Wind Waker, a baton that allows Link to change the tide of the ocean, so he can sail to new destinations he wasn't able to before.

Along with the new adventure, Link will also come across new items, including the grappling hook, the deku leaf, and the Tingle Tuner, allowing you to connect your Game Boy Advance to the GameCube and use Tingle the fairy on the GBA to find hidden items.

Trivia

The bird-like Rito are believed to be descendants of the Zoras from Ocarina of Time.

Medli, an important NPC has a symbol similar to the Zora's Sapphire on her clothing. She is also mentioned as being of the bloodline of an important Zora.

The Rito may also be inspired by the Watarara, who are also avians and who only appear in the Legend of Zelda series manga. These people were more like giant birds than humans, but had a similar gaining of wings past a certain age and the same chieftain leadership structure.
