The Wind Waker (Disambiguation)

The Game
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker was released in early Spring, 2003 for the Gamecube, and it featured its notorious toon-shaded style of graphics. To many, this new style was refreshing, though others felt they were too childish. Overall, the game received good reviews, and was happily accepted into the Zelda game family.

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker stars our hero, Link, who lives with his grandmother and sister, Aryll, on the peaceful Outset Island in the Great Sea. On his birthday, the age he became considered a man, his sister was kidnapped by a gigantic bird, and thus Link's adventure to save his sister began. However, he became involved in something much greater...

The Item
This game got its name from the important item featured in it: the Wind Waker. This legendary baton was used by Link to summon the gods to conduct songs. By moving the Control Stick, the song could be conducted in 3/4, 4/4, or 6/4 time, each time signature having two separate songs. The C-Stick was then used to play one of five notes: up, down, left, right, and center. The songs are as follows:

3/4 Time

Wind's Requiem:   Up, Left, Right - Changes the direction of the wind to one of the four Cardinal and four intermediate directions. Also is used on certain areas to trigger an event.

Song of Passing:  Right, Left, Down - Changes the time of day from day to night, or from night to day.

4/4 Time

Ballad of Gales:  Down, Right Left, Up - Allows Link to warp via a cyclone to one of several islands on the Great Sea.

Command Melody:   Left, Center, Right, Center - Allows Link to take command of various objects and people.

6/4 Time

Earth God's Lyric: Down, Down, Center, Right, Left, Center - Is used with Medli to open the Earth Temple and several barriers within it.

Wind God's Aria:  Up, Up, Down, Right, Left, Right - Is used with Makar to open the Wind Temple and several barriers within it.
