Legacy
The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, a direct sequel with a similar art style, was released for the Nintendo DS in 2007. In it, Link sails the Great Sea with Tetra and the pirates, but is separated after an encounter with a ghost ship. Director Eiji Aonuma was inspired to create the sequel out of his desire to continue The Wind Waker's art style. A modified version of The Wind Waker's engine was used in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, released in 2006. Twilight Princess uses a realistic art style, but some cel-shaded elements remain.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl has a second playable Link character, called "Toon Link", based on the style of The Wind Waker, with all of the various weapons that the regular Link uses. Other content based on The Wind Waker includes trophies, stickers, music, and a partially cel-shaded pirate ship stage.
