Here's Why Sailing Took So Damn Long in Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker
There's a reason sailing the sea in the GameCube version of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker was so slow and tedious. If the boat moved any faster, you'd sail off the edge of the ocean. Flat-Earthers smell a conspiracy!

Dragon Roost Island, You Stole My Heart
Long-time readers of Kotaku may already know that my absolute, unquestioned, favourite video game of all time is The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. There are many reasons for this. The timeless art style, the "open world" design, the inherent charm and humour present throughout.
