The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Sequel


(Not an Official Logo)

Nintendo has announced a Wind Waker sequel! The official name has not been announced yet, so I am calling it Wind Waker 2.

Here's what we know:

  • Aonuma, the Zelda game director, wants to get a demo ready before E3 2004 and release it before that years over
  • The use of cel-shading will continue
  • Link's character design will be changed.

    Aonuma: "I am unable to give you any details right now. I am hoping to have a playable version ready by next year's E3, so I'm hoping you'll be patient and look forward to that.

    As I did between Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, I will use the same engine and the same graphics of Wind Waker for its sequel. However, I do plan on powering everything up a bit."

    We want to know your ideas and/or what you think about the sequel! Send them in to Contact@ZeldaCentral.net or use the form below, and we just might post them here!

    Here's what I think:
    I believe that there will most definately be more land, remember that the Korogs' purposes were to spread out the land so that they all, at one point, connect.

    I also think that the new character design will be that of Adult Link because many of the things they refer to in The Wind Waker is to the distant future.


    Fan Comments/Ideas:

    At the end of Wind Waker, Link, Tetra, and her pirates sail off again. I think that trully they will see to Onox again. (Seasons)
    - from Lauren

    I think that Hyrule will have drained in the next one. I can't wait to see what Hyrule will look like cel-shaded!
    - from Kokel

    I think that there will be more bosses and tougher dungeons!
    - from Soof

    Wouldn't that be wierd (not to mention cool) if they ended up in Termina(MM)? However, I don't think Ganon is finished just yet
    - from Cody

    I think (since Tetra mentioned it) the sequl will take place AFTER they found the new Hyrule.
    - from Mark

    Hopefully they will not use the sea in the sequel...Hyrule will rise again from the sea and towards the sky..and Ganons evil twin sister Ganonia is pissed of beacause Link stole her head band....thats it :-)
    - from Daniel

    The new link could meet with the older Link and try to save Temina and the islands of the great sea again
    - from Samson

    I think it should be a 1 to 4 player game like on Four Swords and you can go anywhere and not in the same screen and it will have rings and Mystical Seeds like on Oracle of Ages and Seasons but there will be more than 5 kinds of Mystical Seeds and more than 64 rings and there will be lots of islands and some will be really big and there will be lots of towns and lots kind of shops in the sea.
    - from Alexander

    My idea is that Link,Tetra and Aryll get warped into another Land and try to save a princess dancer from Agahnim, the evil wizard.

    It's me again.I have more ideas this time.I think the game should have Deku Scrubs,Gorons and Zoras.And I would like the game called "The Legend of Zelda:Link's New Adventure". I would also like Link to own an ocarina as well.And the game should also be like "The Wind Waker" .And I want the game to be on the Gamecube.
    - from Eamon Mc Nelis

    My idea is that Link find Termina forest like in part 2 the beginning. And you most find your way to the forest en come in Huyrle. Zelda's twin sister Helda is on visit and get kidnapped by Hag and Katou the whitses (say: witsjes) of the desert. She make from Huyrle a hell much worse than Ganondorf thit ( say: dit). And brainwassed her and she want to take over Huyrle and Link must defeat Helda to bring the trifirce down from heaven so Zelda can wish Huyrle good again.
    - from Chris

    I love the Zelda series. I loved Wind Waker and I love to see a sequel to it, but with the Gamecube technoledge I think it would look badass if they did it like Ocarina of time. It would be great if they bring back Adult Link and Navi too.
    - from Keel

    Link should find his real parents. Then when they get kidnapped he has to save them, and he finds the power orb that lets him levitate and shoot energy balls that can decengrate an entire city from his hands.
    - from Edgar

    I don't think I would like it all that much, unless they bring back the original Link somehow. Because the original Link was around so long, and then they just switched to a new one. I like the older games with the original Link a lot better.
    - from Ethan

    There should be alot more mini games. I think a cool little mini game could be like a sword fighting arena where you fight a opponent and as you beat them they get harder until you beat them all. and there should be more items in the shops cause wind waker 1 didnt have many. oh and i also think the water should somehow be gone its boring just sailing on water all the time ( not enough action).
    - from Mike

    I think a lot of these other ideas are great, but I didnt see the one thing that makes me want to shuve a deku nut up my ass. The bosses should be a LOT more chalenging. The bosses in windwaker were WAY TO EASY! I beat ganon in less than 2 minuts and didndt get hurt once. so to the people that make the zelda bosses, WORK ON IT !!!!!
    - from Wade

    I think it should have a beginnning movie that takes place 1,000,000,000,000 years before TWW did,and show Link slaughtering Ganondorf,and then dying himself.....AAAHHHgggghhggaaggh!!!Link screamed as he woke up.he took that as an ocword hint of something.He heard his sister and girlfreind,Princess Zelda,yelling for him,he goes out and asks them what is wrong.......What?!!?said Link,A monster appearing in Kokiri forest!!About 1.30minutes later,he,Aryll(sister)and Zelda enter the Kokiri,and then,just as she turned around,a humongoous dark figure with wings,and a shining, triangular shaped item,swooped up Aryll and Zelda,leaving only Link there,and a new legacy was born..............

    Hey everyone,Ive'got another idea-I think that Link should be grown up,and I think that it should take place in Hyrule....But thats'not the point,I allso think that "Skull kid"the mask theif,a.k.a MAJORA,should come back for revenge against Link,and capture the royal family and the seven sages,to take over Hyrule....Wouldnt' that be awesome if you had a game with the "Skull kid"(MAJORA) in Hyrule?! THE END

    Another idea of mine, folks.I also also think that the Gerudos should go on a rampage,due to Ganon's death.And,I think that they should travel to the bottom of the sea and free,the usual,Ganon.But, after Ganondorf blames the Gerudo for his slight death, the Gerudo decide to sacrafice him, and, after THEY succeed, they're new grand wish comes true....A NEW GERUDO MAN!!!!Yes,its true, a Gerudo rised from the pit of Ganondorf's ashes.Nothing special,except his abilities would kick Ganon's hairy butt.Although,it's not like he's not a betrayer.He kills more than half of the Gerudos,hardly showing mercy to the remaining women.So,soon enough, Link goes to try andstop the Gerudian madman,from destroying Hyrule,Termina,and,Kohilint Island.

    Nothing o´that´s going to hapen, because the stupid miyamoto dont wants to repeat any map, so, don´t wait any hyrule o termina.
    - from Omar

    Many years had passed,the power of triforce was robbed by an evil person.The world returned to a dark age.The oceans and the sky losted your colors.The moutain tops begining to submerge on oceans,many people died.The gods swan what happened to the world and decided sealed that evil power to a remote dimension,but it was failed because that power was superior than the gods.The last alternative was Link because he is the hero,bacause he defeated Ganondorf,because he is the choiced to salve this world, and a new adventure begin....

    - from Douglas

    My idea about the sequel is that it will surround a war. The main boss would be Aganhim.It will be based in Hyrule and Termina. The new enemies will be the diffrent kinds of Shadowkahn(like in the Jackie Chan Adventures).
    - from Logan

    I think that link will find a entirely new world. That happens to have harder bosses, more dungeons, and harder dungeons. I also think this world's equivalent of a gerudo should sail over to hyrule and throw a shuriken at tingleA.K.A.mr.gay
    - from Tim

    gannon is trapped in stone underwater. a scubadiver pulls out the sword. gannon is revived and he now has the master sword. it's link's mission to get it back
    - from Joe

    whatever the plot is, I think they should definitely do a "grown-up" Link like in OoT. Grown-Up Link is by far definitely better than little kid Link. Think about it- a 10-year old kicking ass on a full grown adult evil wizard? Not nearly as likely as a 17-year old Link. Adult Link all the way!
    - from Keith

    I think that the bosses should be way harder, dungeons should be way harder, and the game should be two or three disks because one disk doesn't cut it. One disk is too short.
    - from Ryan

    I think Zelda: wind waker is a brill idea, I hope Hyrule is raised up, I was really disappionted when I out about it. I was really looking forward to seeing Hyrule again, I even dream about being in Hyrule. I love beating Ganon, but I hate the Redeads, they creep me out. I didn't like the Cel-shaded thingy
    - from Kieran

    I think Link sail's with the pirates and finds a new land. Then they build the New Hyrule and Ganandorf comes back and tries to take over the New Hyrule.

    - from Mason

    It would be dope if it was like 7 years in the future, and they did some thing more with the swords, like still have the master sword but have like many other avilible swords avalible, and then near the end get the master sword and have it be like increadibly good and hard to get that way when you get it it makes every thing worth while. It would be cool if you could transfer through diminsions and instead of sailing through the seas you saild through realitys, and that way you could see both sides of every one, and it would be cool if you could create Links personality as you went along, and the choices you make determine the type of character you get at the end and it will also determine the strengths and weaknesses of Link. And make many diffrent worlds, with many diffrent sides of people, that way you could look at things from every ones perspective.

    Ganon isn't done dead... He's just been turned to stone and sealed under the waves forever. Or so we are led to believe. He'll be back.
    - from King of Town

    I think that when searching for the "NEW HYRULE" Link and Tetra will find Termina (MM). He will find that the place is over-run with Moblins. The main boss will be the Great Moblin (OoS&OoA). And Majora's Mask (MM) will be one of the bosses.
    - from Charley

    I dont think that they're going back to Termina, and Ganondorf is abviously going to be back, because getting stabbed in the forehead and turning to stone is nothing, just a minor inconvenience, ya know, nothing too major
    - from Michael

    I think you should fight more humans instead of monsters and there could be a big tournament in a village that you enter and everyone reccomends that you fight in the contest so you can go in and deafeat all the enemys then beat the champion and get loads of rupees for prize money.You can go in again and earn some more rupees aswell. Also the villigars praise you because your the champion and ask you to do jobs for them because they think your briliant.
    - from Paul

    its all about bringing back the old hyrule - cel shaded. I really wanted to see some of the other characters from the ocarina of time in the new style - it would be cool to write epona, malon, the gorons and the zoras back in somehow.
    - from Lugz

    Please God, no more sailing
    - from Andy

    Link should explore the area that u couldn't reach in windwaker (the area that was of the map) and find a war going on and he has to help out. than he returns to the "new" hyrule to find that Ganondorf has risen again.
    - from Kise

    I did enjoy TWW and OOT and maybe if link from OOT could travel through time so too could link from TWW and he could go back to old hyrule and get link to come with him to the future to help him build the new hyrule but when they travel Ganon (yet again) kidnaps link from TWW and link from OOT has to rescue him in the future. That way old link is restored to the game and he gets to fight in new hyrule (that link and tetra established before the game takes place) That's my idea. Not that nintendo would listen but I know it would probably appeal to the fans eh?
    - from Dorian

    I love the zelda series as much as anyone but when I found out that they were making a sequel i was shocked. still I am looking forward to seeing (and indefinetly buying it) and playing it. Also i think you should not have to have a GBA to access all of the secrets. THAT WAS CHEAP! NO ZELDA FAN SHOULD HAVE TO BUY A GBA AND A LINK CABLE TO DO STUFF WITH TO GET EVERYTHING TO BE GOTTEN OUT OF A ZELDA GAME!!!
    - from James

    It should have dark link, the different colored suits, the medallions (LttP), and Spells, (LA). and the nightmare thing.
    - from Jacob

    I say no sea or just a little and cel shaded, when I went to underwater Hyrule on TWW I thought look at that! A cel shaded zelda with more land would be great I also think it should be a new link, not the one from TWW but still a kid.
    - from Felix

    I think that there is a rift in time taking link one year before Links Awakening becuse, COME ON GANENDORF ESCAPING FROM THE PLACE WHERE THE TRIFORCE IS COMPLETELEY TIES INTO IT!!!!! It should be that he hears word of the hero of time Link is off searching ALL yes I said all the lands link has ever been in when finally finds Link captured about to be killed by Ganons evil Wizard Agahnim.The new Link defeats hims along with the old Link with the coolest duel showdown ever! Agahnim swears he will be back and the new Link while just meeting the old Link suddenly goes back to his time waking up thinking it was only a dream but finds himself in Hyrule!! That's what I think should happen for WW2
    - from Bernardso

    I think it should have a new type of items...futuristic like..if you know what im saying.
    - from Israel

    my idea is i think that the link from ocirina of time will return and link from wind waker tetra and the priates are going to termina and meet the old link and i think that there gonna fight with veran again
    - from Emitt

    I hope the sequel has a team up between the 2 links and also ganondworf and anox from the oracle of seasons. and the old hyrule surfaced and suprised all of the islanders. my last idea is all of thier weapons combine to make the coolest lookin' weapons.
    - from Brenton

    What I think we should have is the next wind waker, I mean, when tetra and link arrives in a land and they build the new hyrule
    - from Abdel

    adult link shud be in and make it alot harder new story line using old history from Hyrule
    - from Nemesis

    I don't know what's going to happen, but I'm glad they're keeping the cel-shading. The special effects from the cel-shading was spectacular.
    - from T. J.

    Gannon washes ashore after thousands of years (or less, so we have ANOTHER link, how many is that? 5? 10?)he's released by some kid, probably Zelda's descendent, he takes over her, and with his own power, raises Hyrule as his base of evil, and the way into the golden land (triforce place), The new Link in the beginning is basically adventuring, (No sailing, flying on an airplane type thing) and suddenly the dark hyrule fortress rises and Gannon declares rule over all, Link has to gather power from the islanders (in harder to beat dungeons and stuff) and also must reawaken the sages who are somehow underwater, trapped just like Gannon. wierd eh?
    - from Nate

    I think that in the sequel someones going to discover the hidden land of hyrule and pull the sword out of ganons head that would break the seal and release him ready to cause more havok for us to have fun and tht again
    - from Ian

    plz no more sailing just the old hyrule back no more boats gorons zora's and gerudo ppl back but plz no more sailing i hated the long sailing for hours and hours and hours and it would never stop so no more sailing plz!!!
    - from Tony

    Hyrule is fully restored but Ganon returns more powerful than ever. Link has no choice but to ressurect Link from Orcarina Of Time to help. You must play through the game as both and both have some unique abilities. You can also play the game with 2 players.
    - from HZW

    i think hyrule will be drained and ganon will come back.link will ride on epona and save the princess once again.
