I really liked Wind Waker because of its vastness. I really didn't care for the sidequests because I'm not into that type of thing. But some of the places were barren. But some of them were beautiful. I just liked to sail to an island and stand there among the scenery. Some of the really beautiful places were the Private Oasis, Overlook Island, Mother And Child Isles, etc. But there were barren ones like the reefs.
