10 Ways The Legend Of Zelda: The Wind Waker Is Secretly A Masterpiece

Though the franchise is known for its epic and recognisable soundtracks, it is undoubtedly The Wind Waker that boasts the most varied and enjoyable score. Heavy emphasis on stringed and woodwind instruments contribute so fruitfully to the game's runtime that it's hard to imagine the game without first being reminded of its wonderful music.

From the uplifting frills of Outset Island's catchy jingle to the heart-stopping, if familiar, notes of the final boss theme, the eclectic sounds of the Wind Waker always manage to seamlessly match the happenings on screen. The feeling of adventure is skyrocketed by the diversity of the music, and it's one of the many reasons the game brings the series to new heights.

It's true that entries such as Majora's Mask and Ocarina of Time offer a number of iconic tunes such as Clocktown and Gerudo Valley respectively, yet the soundtrack of each esteemed title fails to match the constant enjoyment that Wind Waker's collection of tunes brings to the table.

There has yet to be an entry into the Zelda series who's soundtrack falls flat. Rest assured you'll always be greeted with musical quality, but if you're after the cream of the crop, look no further.
