Line 6:
** {{spoiler|Aryll at the end. You better be back soon, Link, you big jerk. The pirates are actually pretty nice. Bring her with you!}}
** Gets even more bittersweet when you remember that {{spoiler|if Aryll went with Link, their grandmother would be alone again, and look what happened last time...}}
* [[Contested Sequel]]: Given it's very different from the previous 3D Zelda games (''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time]]'' in particular).
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: [[The Legend of Zelda (Franchise)/Awesome Music|See here]]. It is probably THE best ''Zelda'' soundtrack ever.
* [[Disappointing Last Level]]: The quest for the Triforce shards. Specially if you are already bored of [[Padding|sailing]].
* [[Freud Was Right]]: The stick Makar uses to play his leaf cello conveniently has two berries dangling from it, and not at the end.
Line 15:
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: Ganondorf again.
* [[Memetic Badass]]: Link.
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: For obvious reasons, there's a lot of Videos on [[YouTube]], featuring this game and [[The Lonely Island]]'s 2009 song "[[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|I'm On a Boat]]".
** And now there's a ''[http://sharkrobot.com/t-shirts/ion-a-boat t-shirt]'' courtesy of Ninja Bot.
** [[Peachi|The King of Hyrule is a Jerk]]
Line 23:
* [[Most Wonderful Sound]]: The melodic choir that sings whenever Link uses the titular Wind Waker.
* [[Motive Decay]]: Nothing of what originally motivated Ganondorf is really at play anymore, but he still won't give up on ruling Hyrule, even though it's ''flooded''. Though he does say he only ''supposes'' that's what originally motivated him.
* [[Tainted Byby the Preview]]: Following [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBtAvX4Pkyk a 3D demo featuring a realistic Link], cue an announcement of... a cel-shaded ''Zelda''! The [[Fan Dumb]] entry above shows how bad the reaction was.
* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]]: The biggest fan complaint about the game is that it was too much of a departure from ''[[Ocarina of Time]]''.
* [[Vindicated Byby History]]: Upon release, this game was instantly lost to the tides of [[Ocarina of Time]] nostalgia and complaints about the cel-shaded graphical style being N64 level. In recent years, popularity polls frequently place it among the top five favorite games in the franchise, and the art style has been hailed as a refreshing experience from other [[Real Is Brown|"brown"]] games like its successor ''[[Twilight Princess]]''.
* [[Wasted Song]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5m5R91wxKks Maritime Battle] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=we_LKoyU_Qo Jabuns Theme]. The first one is only heard during battles while sailing, and the second one is played once during a cutscene largely consisting of text, where the player might mash the A-button, as most of the text is in an ancient language and thus unreadable. Now, why is Maritime Battle in here? Simple, because of how combat on your boat works (quite frankly, not that good, as your only means of attack are bombs and arrows), the average player might just ignore the enemies, missing out on a pretty good tone which gets better after time.
* [[The Woobie]]: Link's sweet old Grandma. Poor lady breaks down sobbing after her granddaughter is kidnapped, and when you come back to Outset Island, she's literally sick with worry over Link and Aryll. Just the music that plays in these scenes could qualify as a [[Tear Jerker]]. You cure her with a fairy, after which she realizes how brave Link is for going out to save his sister, and decides [[Iron Woobie|she's going to be strong]] [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|just like her grandchildren]].
