That's basically what I love about Wind Waker. Wind Waker was my first completed 3D Zelda, so it clearly holds some nostalgic value with me, but nothing else in the Zelda world tops Wind Waker for me. The art style is wonderful and vibrant, the music is superb, and the Zelda gameplay is quite solid, but I just love the feeling of sailing out on the Great Sea and spotting new islands on the horizon. Typically I'm not one for open-world games, and while I wouldn't necessarily classify Wind Waker as such, its open-world characteristics are absolutely nailed for me. Aside from perhaps the Triforce Hunt (which was reduced in scale from the original), I don't think there's a part of the game I would consider to be too slow. It's just a game I fully enjoy from top to bottom.
