I want to make a similar water surface like in this picture: http://www.publicdomainpictures.net/pictures/20000/velka/water-surface-detail-11291208064MpI.jpg

I need the water surface in the same view than in the picture. Is it possible to work without shaders? I want to develop a little game for Xbox Live Indie Marketplace, Windows Phone and maybe later iPhone/iPad.

How should I make the water surface, so that it works on multiple platforms?

did you search the site for the questions asked before? they don't give you implementation details, but you can easily use their ideas for your own simulation – Gajoo Dec 16 '12 at 16:52
Is it easier to make a cell shading water surface? I like the Zelda Windwaker sea. How can I do something similar? zeldainformer.com/images/uploads/news/zeldatop10wiiu5.jpg – Johnny Dec 16 '12 at 18:54
I'm not sure, but probably Zelda Windwaker just use a plane with animated textures. or even, one plane for the blue, and several moving little planes textured with the waves. – Gustavo Maciel Dec 17 '12 at 0:18
Which effects work on Windows Phone and Xbox? I thought HLSL shaders or other shaders wouldn't work on windows phone. Is that true? – Johnny Dec 17 '12 at 14:56
