The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD Review
The Wind Waker HD soars above most other titles this year in terms of art direction, level design and gameplay, taking the incredible foundations of the original and building upon them to create a extremely refined – and entirely unmatched – experience.
Cons:
- Minor slowdown when a lot of enemies are on screen

The Legend Of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD review – Celda returns
A bad Zelda is still a good game by any other standard but this does frustrating little to improve its standing, beyond making the graphics look even more stunning.
Pros:
- Absolutely gorgeous visuals, updated with obvious love and care
- Equally good soundtrack
- Some great moments, including two classic set pieces that are amongst the best in the series
Cons:
- The game was always a lesser entry in the franchise and this does almost nothing to improve it
- Very expensive given the lack of changes
- Strange omission of the Tingle Tuner

Ocean breathes salty - The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD review
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker is not the game you remember. You probably remember the fantastic cartoon aesthetic, how full of emotion Link's eyes were, how absolutely blue that ocean was.
Pros:
- Absolutely stunning in HD
- Charm to spare
- Wii U additions help alleviate some of its problems
Cons:
- Still crippled by pacing issues
- A few graphical hiccups

Off the Charts
It's funny how different The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker 's notoriously cartoonish style looks now that we've stopped being frustrated with Nintendo's refusal to shift away from their family-friendly image.
Pros:
- Holy crap
- this game still looks good
Cons:
- The Triforce hunt
- and being fooled into believing that it'd been severely overhauled

A lovingly updated version of a timeless, though flawed, adventure.
It's strange to think how the elegance of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker's bold, thick strokes, endearingly stumpy protagonist, and lusciously saturated palette ever caused so much controversy back in 2003, but even a decade later, the game's legacy remains defined by its visuals.
Pros:
- The new aesthetic is different but still beautiful
- An evocative soundtrack
- Fantastic cast of characters
- Filled with great moments
- Puzzle-packed dungeons
Cons:
- The second half of the game still drags
- Tingle's quest is irredeemably boring

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD
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.

Review: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD
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.
Pros:
- A wonderful graphic style updated with HD visuals
- Fantastic audio
- Still as fun to play as it was ten years ago
- Faster sailing
Cons:
- Although you're stuck with slow sailing for quite a while
- Full price RRP is arguably steep
