This review comes from Digitally Downloaded Since its unveiling at Nintendo Direct in January, I couldn't help but feel a remake of Nintendo's Game Cube classic, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, was a bit pointless.

Easy on the Eyes
So I suppose there's a story on this game for me. To start off I never even finished the original. Even with the expensive component cable I just couldn't get into the game. It was full screen and pixelated! Now, because the games in high definition, I gave it a better chance.

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD makes a masterpiece even better (review)
Nintendo may have cheated, but its struggling Wii U system has its first great game. Of course, that game originally came out back in 2003 for the GameCube. I'm talking about The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, a fan-favorite installment in Nintendo's famous series of swordplay and fantasy.
Pros:
- A masterpiece revisited Bring up The Wind Waker, and most people will first think of its gorgeous, cel-shaded art style
- Even before the HD upgrade, The Wind Waker was an incredibly handsome adventure.
Cons:
- MIDI music While the visuals have received a noticeable upgrade, the music sounds very much like it did back in 2003
- Instead of a symphonic score, digital instruments make up every song
- The compositions themselves are great, but the MIDI quality sounds cheap.

The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD (Wii U) Review – Now This is How You Remake a Game
Back in the early days of the GameCube I didn't have access to the Internet and often found myself purchasing games blindly off the shelf taking a gamble without any knowledge of what I was about to play.

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD
When the original Wind Waker released I was incredibly excited to try a Zelda game in a brand new setting. When I got it as a Christmas present I ended up playing it that same day and didn't do much else for the next few days until a realization struck me. I hated the game.
Pros:
- Amazing graphics
- gameplay improvements make the game infinitely better than before
- all of the things that made Wind Waker great
Cons:
- Boat travel is still a bit tedious
- camera sidequest still induces rage
- still has Tingle

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD review
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker is as good now as it was on the GameCube ten years ago. With charming characters, imaginative puzzles and a vibrant style that was always destined for high definition, its unequivocally the best HD remake I've ever played.
Pros:
- HD remake looks amazing
- Gameplay has stood the test of time
- New Hero Mode
- GamePad or Pro Controller
Cons:
- Motion controls are a waste of time

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD (WiiU) - Review
The Wind Waker didn't get a fair shake when it was first revealed in 2002. Many fans decried the game for its "cartoon" graphics, moving away from the more "realistic" graphical style found in Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask (and Nintendo's GameCube tech demo shown at Spaceworld).

Link's no stranger to remasters and remakes. For what are his adventures but repeat tales of a young boy awakening old magics, or restoring swords to their former glory? Okay, so Zelda producer, Eiji Aonuma, didn't collect three magic orbs/metals/songs in order to port
