Okay, we're just going to say it: WInd Waker is the single best Zelda game in the entire franchise. Okay, okay, put the pitchforks down, you guys. It WAS the best in the franchise until Breath of the Wild came out. There, happy? Nintendo faced such an astounding backlash when Wind Waker was first announced, and that was mainly due to the art style - people don't like cel-shading, who knew?

Personally, we never had a problem with the cartoony new look, but even if we did, we would've only had to play Wind Waker for an hour or two to realise that it has the best storyline, characters, map and quests of any Zelda game to date.

As well as that big ol' gamble. Nintendo also gave us Super Mario Sunshine, which took what Super Mario 64 created as groundwork and perfected and polished it, whilst adding some silly new gameplay mechanics that gave the game a ton of longevity. Sure it had... some strange story beats - again, there'll be more on that in a bit.

And as a final thought, can we just address the fact that it's a crime against both god and nature that Mario Kart Double Dash is the only co-op Mario Kart game we've gotten to this day?! For shame!
