This game is great. I've played about 7 hours and it's been nothing but joy. I can't believe how good this game looks and how well it plays. It doesn't look like a remake of a gamecube game, and it doesn't feel like what I expected from a remake of a gamecube game.

-Visually beautiful -Conceptually beautiful -Excellent music -Pro controller compatible -Timeless; fun gameplay

I don't generally find it particularly easy to keep track of what I'm doing; After working, and not being able to play for a couple days, when I came back I had kind of lost context for what I was doing; There's nothing like a quest log or anything, from what I can tell.

I remember being skeptical of this game when it first released due to the art style and nautical theme. However, it's easily one of my favorite Zelda games.

The Wind Waker is a very colorful, and fun game! It's the game in the franchise that I'd recommend to players wanting to start this franchise. The artstyle is very colorful, the gameplay can be challenging, and the world is a little bit more open in this one.

Being a second generation video game reviewer has quite a few benefits. When I am smart enough to listen to my dad I can find my way through rooms and areas of The Legend of Zelda Wind Waker HD on the Wii U. It helps that he played this game on the Gamecube.

In fact, we'd go so far as to say that this is the best-looking game in this art style we've ever seen. Given the closest competitor - that Wind Waker has beat - is Studio Ghibli and Namco Bandai collaboration Ni no Kuni, that's high praise indeed.

Nintendo has a lot to live up to with Wind Waker HD and in many regards an impossible task at hand - to please a diverse fanbase that want different things. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker holds an odd position within the Zelda series.

A wonderful graphic style updated with HD visuals; Fantastic audio; Still as fun to play as it was ten years ago; Faster sailing

Although you're stuck with slow sailing for quite a while; Full price RRP is arguably steep

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker was first released on the Nintendo GameCube over a decade ago during Christmas 2003. Since then, it has continually been considered as one of the best Zelda's and best adventure game made period.

Unforgetable story and characters; Outstanding music composition; Unforgettable gameplay

Sometimes the open world feels too large; Might not be as fresh as this is a remake

If the game is too easy for you, you can set "Hero Mode" at any time from the loading screen. This mode doubles the damage enemies deal and removes all recovery hearts from the game, so you'll have to rely on fairies and potions to heal you.

Art style is gorgeous in high-definition; Gameplay still stands up; Hero Mode is flexible and can add challenge

Navigating the ocean can still be a little boring; No true "Master Quest.

The Wii U has been struggling in the absence of a system seller, and a Legend of Zelda game would normally do the trick and turn the tides in favor of Nintendo's new console. But these aren't normal circumstances, and this Legend of Zelda game isn't a new entry but a HD remastering of the most...

Cartoony; cel-shaded visuals look absolutely gorgeous in HD; Link's quest here is more fun and a lot more light-hearted than other Zelda games; Inventory awesomely accessible through the GamePad's screen; Epic boss fights; especially the final showdown with Ganondorf; Tons of exploration

Too much back and forth during the later quests in the game; Clunky camera and a targeting system that gets in the way of itself; Tags

Few Nintendo games have been met by such a mixed reaction as The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, and while those feelings don't run as high now as they did ten years ago, that's still the case today.

Fantastic cartoon graphics given a new HD sheen; Hours of mystery and adventure; Many oddballs to meet and islands to explore; Some sensible changes make the game even better

No abandoned material restored; Minor glitches and gameplay issues
