Look past the cel shading ( which was still very pretty)
I'm currently playing it on the dolphin emulator for the first time. It likely doesn't look that great on a Gamecube, but emulated at 1080p with anti-aliasing and this game is absolutely gorgeous. I find it hard to believe that it is a 10 year old game.
I missed out on WW when it first came out because of the graphics, but now I can say that they are beautiful and have stood the test of time. Also a fantastically fun game.
As for the gamecube, it had the best graphics of that generation, the best controller of that generation (imo), and a solid library. Not sure why it was overshadowed by the PS2.

I had a GameCube and enjoyed it, especially wind waker. I also liked the metroid prime series.
I think one of the major reasons that it faded out was that it did not support DVD playback. When the Ps2 came out with that, they crushed everyone bc now you had average gaming fans taking the plunge on the ps2 because of its dual functionality.

One reason. Gamecube had some very good games on it, but PS2 had so many games in general. I mean damn, it was like every single week something new and good was coming out. It was ridiculous. It was one of the longest lasting consoles of all time. Big gamecube releases seemed a lot farther between.
As for windwaker, I learned a long time ago that graphics do not make a game. In fact, stylized graphics as in the case of WW tend to stand the test of time much longer than games with realistic styled graphics.
