The story and gameplay are the same and again, that’s how it should be. There’s great artistry to the simplicity of Wind Waker and anyone who’s never played the game before is sure to be wowed by the living comic book visuals when they pop the disc into their Wii U, even if it doesn’t push the system’s horsepower to the limit. Wind Waker truly is a feast for the eyes, and while the mild changes aren’t enough to make it look like a brand spanking new game, that’s almost missing the point. In transferring Wind Waker to HD, Nintendo simply smoothed and the textures and added more dynamic lighting/shading and that’s just enough to make a decade old design look fresh again. This is a gorgeous, adventurous design that’s held up quite well over the years. Looking at the game now in HD, it’s clear the haters were wrong. Over time, opinion has shifted and the simple cell shaded visuals have become a cult favorite, even earning a character and level in the Wii edition of Smash Bros.

When Wind Waker was first released many longtime fans of the series blasted the new design for being too kiddie and a failed attempt to fix something that wasn’t broken. I guess the best place to start discussing the game is the visuals.

But for the software starved early Wii U adopters, it is a pleasant distraction that can eat up plenty of gaming hours. The flaws of the original remain and it doesn’t exactly feel like a necessary release. However, the cutesy pants version of Zelda holds up quite well ten years later, and the designers have thrown in just enough upgrades to make it look pretty on the new system. This one can’t quite match the crowd-pleasing bliss of Ocarina 3D simply because the game being ported was always more of a cult favorite than a classic. With the inevitable latest chapter in Links never-ending quest to solve puzzles and collect rupees still months away, the big N has offered to tide fans over with a sparkly new edition of The Legend Of Zelda: The Wind Waker.
Now Nintendo has gone and done it again on the Wii U. While it’s always disappointing for a major launch title to simply be a port, there was no denying how much fun it was to tackle one of the greatest games ever made in the palm of your hand with some shiny new visuals.

Back when the 3DS launched, one of Nintendo’s first big moves was to port over the N64 classic Ocarina Of Time with a graphics upgrade and the addition of sweet, sweet 3D.
