And, strangely, MrToby had the sudden urge to purchase a Wii U, despite the fact that there is currently only one game out that he gives a crap about. He sobs with confusion.

I hope you know that's not *the* Zelda Wii U <.<. It's just to tide people over FOR Zelda U.

Could have named the thread Wind Waker HD Remake or something similar. I clicked this thread thinking it was a discussion about the actual Zelda Wii U.

Oh well...

Well that's a misleading thread title, although the game was confirmed. The game that was shown was some screenshots of Wind Waker HD.

It is a pretty stellar game. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but I personally really enjoyed it.

Also, misleading thread is misleading...

Let me be the fourth to say, MISLEADING TITLE

Besides that, I'm so stoked by the Wind Waker HD I could die. Can't WAIT to re-experience that game with a fresh coat of paint...and playing it solely on the gamepad drives me crazy (in a good way).

As for the actual NEW Wii U Zelda, considering their promise to reinvent the experience, I'm pretty excited to see what's on the way. Taking the WW remake into consideration, I can say it's now a pretty safe bet that the art style of Zelda U will be more along the lines of Twilight Princess.

This is what I think too. At first I thought they were showing WW graphics to say that this is the art style they are using, but then they revealed WWHD. I highly doubt two Zelda games on the Wii U will both use cartoon style.

I sure hope so. This looks great but I want to see something different for the new Zelda.

Thanks a lot for the misleading title! When I read the thread title, I gasped for air and fell backwards over my chair, just to find out it was a remake. I now have a head injury. Thanks. :/

i like wind waker. i mean, i like it a lot. if they add in the cut content, this could be really really really good

but MAN i do not like what i see so far. the lighting is super terrible and ruins the whole aesthetic for me

i know people are gonna have their whole "graphics don't matter etc" spiel, but it's the combination of the fact that wind waker was beautiful and graphically near flawless (imo) as is and that the ridiculously excessive bloom is actually really distracting for me...

really really hope they fix that

This is exactly what I was thinking when I saw it. After putting a lot of time in Wind Waker again this winter, I gotta say all the shadows and super 'bloominess' are really killing the aesthetic.

I really hope they tone down those shadows a bit and hopefully bring back that nice color contrast the original had. I don't have anything against HD but I don't know if this game's art style really gains something from it or maybe even loses.

Looks really nice. Never got to play The Wind Waker on GameCube and it's too expensive to get now, so this was a nice surprise. More reasons to get a Wii U, I suppose...

HD Screenshot Comparison - The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Wiki Guide - IGN

It stuns me how GC colors is better than Wii U colors in those comparison.

I think it is emulation version though.

I am super excited for this! WW is my favorite console title with MM being a close second. I'm guessing the price tag for physical copy at around $50, maybe even $60 because of the franchise name, both of which I would pay without hesitation. I'm a little bummed we didn't get to see anything from Zelda Wii U, but am excited about the re-release of VC games on the Wii U for discounted price. yay for being able to play them on the gamepad!

Good news is this is one less reason to own a Gamecube.

Good because I don't have one anymore ;_;
Now if we could just get a Paper Mario:TTYD remake...

Sounds great! This game is underated by alot of gamers due to the graphics style. I hope they give it a chance this time around. Graphics don't make a game but Gameplay & Game Control always does!

This pretty much just sums up how i feel. I just started play WW yesterday and i love the style as it is. Yes it could use improvements but the bloom/lighting is terrible. I think they could have added to the cartoon look but now it looks like realistic cartoons, if that makes any sense.

This is awesome news, I really enjoyed playing Windwaker on my Gamecube back in the day. Too bad I don't plan on buying a Wii U. Oh well.

Yeah, looking at it again, it's a but worrying that they've tried to create a more believable toon style. I think it should stay true to the original.

Except it's not underated in the slightest. A large chunk of people I've seen online say it's their favorite Zelda game. And it has amazing reviews. The people who didn't play it because of the art style are in the minority. On the other hand, Twilight Princess, which had a darker and more detailed style, seems to be one of the most hated Zelda games. It still got good reviews but I've seen WAY more people online hating on Twilight Princess than Wind Waker.

I hope it looks like Ni No Kuni. A mixture of anime/cell shaded style would be great for this game in my opinion.

Yea generally that has been how it is for both games, although just more recently it seems like I've seen the opposite opinions more often. When they first came out, it was definitely the complete opposite, TP looked godly to most people.

I know, just when some gamers thought it was safe to save their money on the Wii U; they pull this.

Not just nostalgia. Just the fact that they make well-known classic games that many haven't played. They make it so that everyone gets a chance to play their best games.

His point is you can't really crack on nostalgia being their best money maker when you're a leading example of that cause.

I don't know about the whole nostalgia thing. I'd say it's also because, you know, they still make good games.

Take the movie industry for example. You try and capitalize on nostalgia and nostalgia alone and you get burned. *Looks over at Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull......my eyes bleed from watching that movie.*

I'm so glad I'll actually get a chance to play this game. I got TP and SS recently to play them on Wii U because I sold my Wii years ago (stupid stupid stupid). I'm about halfway through TP and I'm loving it. Finished OoT 3D a few weeks ago, so I'm on a straight 3-4 month Zelda marathon. I also got LA for 3DSVC but I play that one more sparingly. I can't wait to play WW, I've heard only good things, though I for one prefer the TP art style.

I see no issue with using lighting techniques to create depth, even with the WW art style.

You do realise that in this day and age, Nintendo could just have the demo on the WiiU eshop and not force us to buy the game for a demo right?

I hope they add in those missing 2 dungeons, and fix the triforce hunt, if they did that, it would be one hell of a game!

Yeah the Triforce hunt was such a tedious pain... still that's pretty cool that it is a remake.
Now I just have to keep praying that they'll remake Majora's mask for the 3DS. Please Nintendo!

I actually finally got to beating Wind Waker sometime last year cause I had been stuck on the stupid Triforce quest and gave up on it years ago. I had actually also found my GBA to Gamecube link cable around the same time, so I tried using the Tingle Tuner again.

Can someone explain why the triforce hunt was THAT terrible to people? It was definitely pretty tedious, but you get maps that direct you right to them and only a few of them are in really random spots...the rest all in plces you've basically been to before. And it's not the first game that had something like that. Both metroid prime 1 and 2 have the same thing, but even longer.

The only triforce piece I found to be in a bad spot was the one on the phantom ship or whatever, and that was only because you needed that one chart which you didn't have any idea even existed located on a random island.

I actually had MORE fun on that area than most of the game because it was just me exploring the high seas looking for some treasure and discovering new islands instead of GO IN A STRAIGHT LINE UNTIL YOU HIT THE ISLAND WITH NPCS!

But I didn't play the Metroid Prime games. And I wasn't a fan of the whole ocean/islands overworld. I wouldn't have minded doing the Triforce quest in Majora's Mask's or Ocarina of Time's or pretty much any other Zelda games' overworld.

I don't really get it either. I personally really loved Wind Waker and the massive exploration. The Triforce hunt went with the whole them of the game. The triforce was basically pirate treasure that you had to find maps to and track down. It was awesome!

Then again I know some people really hated the whole sailing thing. Personally I found it relaxing and it was really the last time where a Zelda game gave us that amount of freedom to explore and not do things in a linear fashion. Skyward Sword should have taken some hints from Wind Waker for the sky world.

What can you get for achievement?

"Successfully escaped Cucco's wrath of death"

"Strike Master Sword in Ganon's head"

"Kill the man who says "It's dangerous to go alone! Take this."
and etc...

It didn't mind the tiforce hunt, but i think it would be better if you did it throughout the game so it's not as boring :/

You can kind of do that since you have 2 dungeons you have to do at the time. Split the hunting into thirds. Do 1/3 of the hunting, then a dungeon, the other third, dungeon, then the rest and it really isn't that tedious.

Also I feel like the complaints are more towards the process of getting the maps, which be honest was a little silly that you had to spend so much for them.

I felt making the triforce maps the triforce peices would have mitigated a lot of the groaning.

The maps in general were fun to aquire, grinding the money then wasting time fishing them up, not so much.

That's what I did exactly when I got Tri-Force.

(When it was my first time to get this quest. I thought I was almost at the End so I want to spend my time on exploring the high seas looking for some treasure and discovering new islands.)

You had to grind for the rupees? Seriously? Seems like in Wind Waker you had a freakin abundance of money at that point in the game as long as you did...something other than just the main story. I also don't remember anything else really needing lots of rupees to buy.

Sorry if someone else has brought this up, but anyone else remember the Tingle thing if you had a GBA? I loved that with friends, wonder if it'll come back in the remake in some shape or form.

Why would they even make you use the 3DS when the gamepad exists?

Both the price and date are a placeholder, as tradition with gamestop. I would have thought they would have least had a more acurate date like October 31st though.

This is one of my least favorite Zelda games and I'm willing to pay full price. Hell, I'd pay more than full price if I had to.

This is Nintendo, were talking about here. They charged full price for a remake of a 13 year old game on the 3DS. Expect to pay $60.

Bro Ivent buy any single Mario game (apart of MarioKarts) since I bougth Mario 64 Ds back in 2009 I dont make Iwata rich with Pokemon I make gamefreak rich and thats only because they worth every single cent you spent in them it is simple math 35$/30$ bucks for a Pokemon game = 1,000+ hours of endless battles. Though my post wasnt intend to be rude I was just remarking how Nintendo got us controlled with remakes and nostalgia to squeeze even the last cent out of our pockets

It's like you're purposely trying to be the perfect example of what you're criticizing or something.
Also, I don't have even the slightest hint of nostalgia for this game. I'm just a hardcore Zelda fanboy that will buy basically anything with the Zelda name on it.

I'm kind of conflicted on this. On one hand I think it's great that they're bringing TWW back for all the people that missed it (at least because I think it's a wonderful game), and the improved HD graphics look great while still maintaining the original style. But then.... it's like, But I like the original! ;_; I don't know, I can't explain my hesitation. I think I'll have to wait to see how it looks in action. Hm, I wonder if they'll enhance the wind movement lines. Or the smoke-swirl effect. I kind of hope they keep it the same.

Story-wise though, I really want to see what kind of changes or additions they'll make. I remember reading that they were rushed with the game, which is why the third pearl dungeon was scrapped and replaced with the raining curse. Which personally I absolutely loved, it really gave a sense of 'things are actively changing in this plot; you can't just wander around at your own pace and expect things to wait until you get there.' Not that that wasn't how it actually worked, but at least it gave the feeling of wanting to hurry.

But now that is has been years and they're taking a second look at things, I think it would be great if they added in what they couldn't before. Like, maybe later in the game people would return to Greatfish Isle to begin repairing it, or at least find the surviving inhabitants on a nearby isle. Or more challenging areas like the Savage Labyrinth. I personally didn't mind the search for the Triforce pieces (or at least finding the scrolls part of it because I loved exploring the different islands and how they each had their own kind of puzzles), but maybe the fishing part of it could be diversified more. And definitely find more ways to spend the rupees, there's so much excess in that game, it's ridiculous. Once you're done paying off Tingle, it seems like there's nothing left to buy aside from Beedle's special items and a few minigames.

In that case im of your side because Ill also love to play it the first time with enhanced graphics since it is a Zelda game , I played OoT 3D (which I wasnt that happy about its graphics being too 64ish) and will love to play MM 3D since I havent played it waiting for a remake

The game is two months away from being ten years old. The statute of limitations on spoilers for this game have long sense passed. Plus, it wasn't as if it was a subtle secret or anything. Anyone whose played their fair share of Zelda's would see it coming at this point.

I hope Gamestop has some kind of pre-order bonus or something. Perhaps a bundle? Probably not, I'll just have to wait and see.

I hope that they implement the dungeons that they weren't able to add into the original because of time constraints, but I don't want them to take anything out in the process.

I'm actually kind of worried that the reskin of this game won't be true to the blatantly cartoony original. I don't want them to make it look believable.

Its quite obvious from when you first meet Tetra that she is Princess Zelda... Spoilers weren't needed lol. That be like saying the little kid in the blue lobster shirt in the beginning is actually Link. Who would have ever known?

This can't be priced anymore than $40, and it shouldn't even be that high, considering its shaping up to be just an enhanced port.

Reasoning behind this is if Microsoft/343 Studios can completely remaster a last gen game like WW with breathtaking new graphics, added online co-op functionality and 6 multiplayer maps whilst incorporating a brand new game engine for them and only charge $40....(I'm talking about Halo CE Anniversary by the by), Nintendo can't reasonably charge anymore than that.

But it's Nintendo, so we'll see. Would love to replay this game, it's my favorite 3D Zelda, but the price must be right. I still speak with my wallet.

I'd pay full price for this. I love Wind Waker enough. However, it'd be NICE of Nintendo to not charge full price for a port, if it is just a port.

This is a little late, but I'll still buy it if it does cost $60. I've never had the chance to play it so it's not like I'm buying it for the second time.

They priced most of their other "enhanced ports" at full price, so whats stopping them this time?

And the price will stay the same throughout most of the life of the WiiU so we will have no choice but to pay it

yeah i was trying to be funny. nintendo could make games with atari E.T. graphics and id be first in line. the love and attention they give these games leave a lifelong lasting impression. Windwaker will always be my favorite and in 15 years when they remake it in 3d or super duper virtual reality ill buy it and play it again

Lol, please this is Nintendo. They charged full price for Star Fox 3D and Ocarina of Time 3D. I'd be surprised if Wind Waker HD is lower than $60. I love WW, but I'm not paying premium price for an enhanced port.

So you think it is enhanced port at least?

Looks like remake to me.

I respect your opinion, but to me, a remake is something similar to the treatment the first Resident Evil game received on the gamecube. Unless they are adding a significant amount of content and drastically altering the game in some form, it's nothing more that a slightly prettier port. And from those screenshots, the game looks better, but not by a huge margin.

Anyway, I'm not really complaining. I wasn't going to buy the game anyway since I still own my original copy. I hope those that do buy it, enjoy it!

A remake is if a game is totally rebuilt from the ground up, like Res Evil, the pokemon games, Zero mission, etc. This is just a port with HD scaled graphics, like OoT 3d.

I remember Nintendo said OoT 3D is remake game. It may look like enhanced port but link model and everything is remade with better texture. The enhanced port IS Like Ocarina of Time GC version.

I believe both of them are remake even they look identical. It just doesn't mean that it is enhanced port. It is remake game that looks like enhanced port.

Err, I'm sorry, but that doesn't make any sense. Slightly updated models does not equal a remake of a game. Remaking something is starting off from scratch. From the ground up, as yuoke said. Both of those games are ports with enhancements. This is like calling all HD compilations as remakes. Only Nintendo seems to do this. It's obvious Nintendo claimed to have remade OoT in order to get people interested in buying it. It's almost like a sales catch phrase to lure gullible people in. "Come buy our brand new remake of Ocarina of Time!" sounds much more enticing than "Buy our enhanced port of Ocarina of Time!"

Oh, and the gamecube releases were straight ports. I think you are confusing the terms.

I don't want to go over this again. LoZ: Ocarina of Time 3D is the remake game for the fact. LoZ: OoT GC is enhanced port when they added Master Quest. Now, let's talk about Wind Waker HD remake. Wind Waker's Toon Link's hair over his eyebrows is not visible anymore. The island doesn't look like it is in exactly scaled as original Wind Waker Island. From what I see from those screenshots, it should be built up from the ground and be considered as remake. I am not saying that adding "HD" is the reason for remake. If there was WW with no changing anything at all but High Definition being added. It would be "Enhanced Port" for sure.

I respect your opinion. I do understand your point of view but it's just not my point of view on WWHD or OoT3D.

Zelda Wind Waker Cut Dungeons Won’t Come To Wind Waker HD | My Nintendo News

That seems fair enough. Strange to think that people have been yearning to play the cut dungeons for so long and yet they've already kind of played them.

People said the same thing for oot 3d. Adding any extra changes would basically have to change the plot of the game, which wouldn't work out well. Even more so in this game than OoT for obvious reasons....I won't spoil though.

We?re tuning the game to alleviate all that. The pacing should feel appropriate to the overall experience this time? We need to tighten those (gaps) and make the overall experience and story feel tighter.?
That's interesting. I know the triforce piece part is getting changed, and the sail can be upgraded to go faster. I wonder what else there is that will be changed.

I don't care if they don't add anything new, enhanced graphics are fine by me.
But i'm hoping they add master Quest, which i'm sure they will

I don't know if it has already been said, but I really hope that, on the gamepad screen, we can just choose what direction we want the wind to travel and it will autoplay the notes.

They are making the sailing less tedious, so hopefully the wind direction changing gets less tedious as well

Can you use the right analogue-stick to control the camera in WWHD?

Of course you can, since that's what you did in the GC version. If they removed it they are ****ing stupid.

Awesome! I haven't played the game in seven years, and it was the first Zelda I played.

The demo of WWHD controlled like you'd expect it too. Nothing out of the ordinary.

The direction of the wind immediately changes to match the direction of the boat when going faster. Sweeeeeeeeeeet! It also looks like the triforce charts have been replaced by the shards themselves. I guess that's nice, but that will make the game shorter (yet less tedious).

I like the japanese one so much more. It's just so pretty which suits the game a lot. The NA one is okay as well, it looks more clean, but I think it looks weird how only Link is colored, makes him look misplaced. I hope the EU one will end up looking more like the japanese one.

Most of the The Legend of Zelda box art for NA has a predominately gold background so I guess it isn't that surprising.

I like Gold more when it's nostalgia feeling to it. It's like telling you that game is "golden"

You are paying $20 for the Ganondorf figure, just putting that out there. I doubt its worth $20.

Is anyone going to get the digital copy? It does come out before the retail release.

Even though the digital version comes out earlier, I'm still going to wait for the physical. Not only do I prefer physical over digital, but with only 32gb to work with, I feel like I really need to conserve to eShop purchases only.

You just seem a tiny bit upset over something so trivial as a comment.

Also, to stay on topic here, if I had a Wii U, I would buy this. That price drop on the Wii U tempted me a little.

I had this for the gamecube but I never beat it. Looks like I'm going to have to get a Wii U sooner or later.

I am kind of sad that I bought my Wii U like 2 weeks ago, of course I only paid $300 for it anyway, and still got the Deluxe. I probably would have bought this bundle anyway.

I'm more of a fan of physical games, but I'll do whatever's more convenient. Since I'm getting the system bundle, digital it is for me!

I personally think Nintendo's doing something really smart releasing the digital version early. At least, I prefer it to the Fire Emblem: Awakening fiasco.

Picked up my WW Wii U HD bundle early yesterday morning, as such I've spent quite a bit of time with the game. It's my favorite 3D Zelda of all time and it holds up incredibly well, but it's overpriced, like OoT3D before it. It simply doesn't have enough new content to warrant the $50 price tag, especially compared to similar offerings. Sony bundles two God of War games from the psp with HD graphics, trophy support, etc for $40, while Microsoft has a truly remastered game in the form of Halo CE:A, which has substantialy better graphics compared to the original with 6 maps built from the ground up for Reach multiplayer integration for only $40. It's simply to expensive.

That said, I'm absolutely loving playing it again. Though, the amount of selfies flodding the miiverse is a cause for concern...

So I decided to save my money and get the Wind Waker HD Wii U bundle, if I can get the money.

I have to say, I'm a little disappointed that the Wii U doesn't come specially marked with Wind Waker designs like the 3DS bundles do :c

Well, I got the Wii U bundle with WWHD, and I love it. Wind Waker has aged beautifully! The gamepad might be my favorite controller!

WWHD's got me very optimistic for Zelda U (apparently influencing it).

Im kind of excited to see what form Zelda Wii U takes on. I really hope it doesn't look like Skyward Sword, but I also don't want the Twilight Princess look either... I just don't know, I guess.

I seriously have no idea what's wrong with the Skyward Sword art style? It is essentially a cross between Wind Waker's and Twilight Princess'...

I don't have a problem with the look per se, but I don't want the gameplay to be like it was in Skyward. The look is ok, but I honestly would rather have Windwaker style than Skyward.

To me, and I think some other people that mix didnt work well and it made a lot of the characters look really weird. Link looks like michael jackson and zelda looks just weird. I personally am a little tired of the toon style, but I would rather just have that or completely dark like TP.

Personally, the only problem I am having with the gameplay in my playthrough is the harp, and that's not even a problem with the game; My sensor bar has issues with the left side of the screen making it somewhat difficult and frustrating to do stuff with the harp.

To each his own I suppose. In my opinion I think the Twilight Princess artstyle didn't fit very well on the Wii/Gamecube because of the resolution. The cartoony artstyles of Wind Waker and Skyward Sword fit their respective consoles much better, since they worked well with standard definition. In saying that, I do think that the Twilight Princess artstyle would look great in HD, and I would probably choose it over the others just because of the amount of detail they could put in.

I guess Skyward Sword is one of those games you either love or you hate. Personally, I love it; It's my favourite game so far. I understand your queries however, and I can see where you are coming from.

Skyword Sword was a bad Zelda game(the worst, in my opinion), but still a good game, if that makes sense to anyone. They tried something a little different, as they did in Spirit Tracks, and I applaud them for trying, even if they are the two worst Zelda games ever made(again, still good games, but bad Zelda games).

Here is to hoping Zelda U can deliver a fresh, worthwhile Zelda experience without undermining the very things that make Zelda...Zelda, as SS did(and to a lesser extent, ST).

Windwaker, on the other hand, embodies the Zelda style perfectly while giving it a fresh spin in the form of a huge 49 square grid of Ocean to explore each square and uncover all sorts of optional goodies.

I think Skyward Sword's pacing is fine. If any game had trouble with pacing, it's Twilight Princess. The pacing in that game is horrible. You may revisit areas, but you open up new paths as well, unlocking whole new sections of the world. The Sky is a pretty good overworld too. It is like a mini Great Sea.

Twilight princess starts off slow and has a few slow parts in the middle, but still had 9 really big dungeons with about equal filler time between each one and a super huge overworld to explore. Plus there isn't really too much backtracking. Backtracking has a very thin line between either making or breaking a game. The metroid games perfected it, but it doesn't work well with the style of zelda, which failed in skyward sword.

But is it REEEAAALLY backtracking? Sure, you start off where you were but there is always something new introduced to keep things fresh.

The way it is done though gives it such a repetitive feel. It was a similar issue that star fox.adventures had, which was a very zelda-ish game. You would keep going to the same areas with just doing some different things. The excuse could be made then though that it was an early gamecube/late n64 game. There is no excuse with the technology there is now to have that small of a world where you have to keep revisiting the same areas.

I guess it really depends on the person. To me, it doesn't seem like much backtracking, and even when you do, you have a new goal to achieve or area to discover. 95% of game reviewers obviously thought the same way, judging from the high scores the game received. Personally, I have never really got into Metroid, so maybe I don't know what good backtracking looks like.

I gotta agree with this. One of the things that has always made Zelda so amazingly great was the freedom to explore and get off the beaten path. In the original Zelda you could get multiple extra hearts, the second sword, the second shield, the first armor ring, and other items before ever stepping foot in to the first dungeon. All the best Zeldas have rewarded exploration and encouraged the player to check every nook and cranny in the game. They've also allowed the player to take the game at their own pace and didn't punish the player for this. They had this feeling of good things happen when you explore. Heck in the first Zelda, if you came across one of the dungeons while exploring then there was nothing to keep you from trying to tackle it then and there.

I'm planning on possibly doing a giant blog post on my thoughts being a new Wii U owner and Wind Waker HD, this is one of the things I've been thinking about. Skyward Sword compared to Wind Waker. In Skyward Sword, so much of the game and world is restricted from the player until you NEED to go to a place, which totally kills the feeling of exploration. Not to mention the fact that they wasted a perfect opportunity fill the skyworld with all kinds of different islands with different towns, people, secrets, etc.

Wind Waker on the other hand essentially gives you the freedom to go wherever you want as soon as you grab the Wind Waker. And from there you can start on all kinds of side-quests, exploration, mini-games, etc. The only main thing holding you back is not having the grappling hook to get treasure. You might not be able to break sequence in the game, but you're in no way discouraged from going at your own pace.

Skyward Sword, unlike Wind Waker, is very story-driven. That could be a bad thing, if the story wasn't the best in the series that I have encountered. The story makes you want to continue in your quest, while in the other games you knew you had to progress but the story didn't really push you that much.

I haven't played Wind Waker before; I am eagerly awaiting Christmas to play it for the first time, so I can't say for sure whether it is better or worse than Skyward Sword. What I do know so far, is Skyward Sword is my favourite in the series, with a compelling story and character development (which is something somewhat lacking from Zelda games), challenging gameplay that incorporates more than just button presses, and a nice world and dungeons.

Oh and there are countless side-quests to complete and minigames to play in "The Sky", so I wouldn't really say they wasted the opportunity.

Yeah, you definitely need to play Wind Waker! Especially with the "fixes" that WW HD comes with. Im waiting patiently until October to buy WW, and it will be my second full playthrough of the game. The first one being when it first released for the Cube, and a 1/6th playthrough on the Dolphin. I played it until WWHD was announced, and then I stopped so that I would actually WANT to play the re-make/re-master.

Oh, I'm looking forward to it. I'll be receiving Wind Waker HD at Christmas (as well as A Link Between Worlds), so I gotta hurry the **** up and finish Skyward Sword and A Link to the Past, both of which I have half-way completed (approx.).

Christmas will be a very good time indeed...

The ending to Skyward Sword is one of my favorite endings to a game ever.

Well, Zelda is my favourite videogame franchise but there have been many times throughout my life when I've questioned it's superiority and the reasons why I find it so good. The same thing happened after I finished playing Skyward Sword, probably my favourite game of all time. I just didn't want to go back.

Every time a new Zelda game comes out I get excited, I buy it and finish it and I usually place it among my top20 games of all time, but inbetween the large timegaps when there are no Zelda titles I find myself preffering short and fast paced games like Mario kart or Rayman Legends or Megaman.

But this game is something else. Everything about it is beautiful, the graphics, the story, the world, the characters... It made me understand the difference between a simple game and an adventure. It is epic. I haven't played the Gamecube version as I had no Gamecube (It's the only Nintendo console I've skipped) therefore it seemed fresh and original. It was like a brand new game for me and I have to admit, no other WiiU title has made me play with my WiiU so much (and I have both Rayman Legends and Pikmin3). It is actually the 1st time I've noticed how short the WiiU gamepad's battary is.

Wind Waker is a game that deserved an HD release. Nintendo was right to do the port. It will move some systems and it will prepare the ground for the future releases of Mario kart 8, Super Mario 3D World and Donkey konhg, which will be the real system sellers.

I'm about 2-3 hours in now, I must say I'm enjoying it so far. Really pretty game, glad I waited for Wii U instead of playing it on gamecube.

I don't like to cheat, but I had one question because maybe it's just something I'm missing: How come my pictocamera is black and white only? Is there an upgrade I need to find? I don't want to know where if there is, just if there is.

Nah, you don't need to use the SD card. You press Home, go to the internet browser, then whatever photo uploader you like (imjur, photobucket, etc) and you're able to then upload paused screenshots from there.
