Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker's Link Originally Used A Theremin
Link is known for his taste in unusual musical instruments, and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker almost had the green-clad hero play the theremin to tame the seas. While The Wind Waker had a divisive early reception among Legend Of Zelda fans when it first launched on the Nintendo GameCube in 2002 due to its more cartoon-like graphics and a radically different setting, it would later be regarded as one of the best entries in the long-running series, and fans are still calling on Nintendo to re-release The Wind Waker on the Nintendo Switch to this day.
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker gets its name from the Wind Waker item, a mystically empowered conductor’s baton that Link uses to call upon the power of the Sages to perform all kinds of tasks in his quest to rescue his sister from the wicked sorcerer Ganon. With the Wind Waker, Link can change the direction of the wind to help make navigating the Great Sea atop his boat easier, open the doors to ancient temples, change the time from day to night, and much more. This mechanic is very similar to the titular Ocarina from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Link’s wolf-form howls in the later Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess, but players could have utilized a different instrument altogether to unleash Link’s musical abilities in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.
