Back in the day, I owned a GameCube. I still do, in fact, though it’s currently not connected to my television. My Wii has long since replaced it and my little black box resides in a place of honour in my gaming cupboard. One of the games I played a lot for my GameCube was The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. This was because, a few years ago, I had played and loved Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask on my N64, which is also in my cupboard. Despite never owning a SNES, I’d also played and loved A Link to the Past on my cousin’s console, which was where my love of Zelda originated.
