The addition of the swift sail and reworked Triforce hunt are bandaid solutions to the underlying problems with Wind Waker. It's really pretty, though!

HD version is ugly and bad, but it's still wind waker, so it's pretty good

Uno de mis Zelda 3D favoritos. La libertad del barco, el estilo visual, la música, la historia... Y como nunca jugué al original a mí me da igual el cambio en iluminación, me encanta cómo se ve.

I find the bloom really gross and distasteful. Indoor environments are a lot better, but the QOL changes aren't enough to make me want to pick this up over the original for a replay.


i miss tingle bottles every day of my life

zelda cannot beat this game

This review contains spoilers

a tragically frustrating final third couldn't totally spoil the expressive and adventurous first two acts. loved the sailing, hated the command melody and fetch quests

This was my first Zelda and used to play it yearly, but it not being on Switch meant I haven't fully replayed it since around 2018. Still a masterpiece to me and remains in my Top 3 Zeldas. Fingers crossed this comes to Switch one day

fun but lacks a lot of substance and emotions. pretty

Remaster that improved the game by adding cloth that eliminates the need of changing wind all the time and slightly improves triforce quest. Graphics are deviseve, I slightly prefer GameCube look, but that's subjective. Really fun game.

(The adjustments to gameplay like the Swift Sail & greatly resuced Triforce shard quest make the game so much better. Seriously I never beat the original game as a kid becasue of the damn shard hunt. Game looks great in HD, and whether you like the bloom or not is up to preference.)

This game is still one of my favorite Zelda entries despite it's glaring flaws. Ironically it's artstyle is what has allowed it's visuals to age so well over the years despite the initial disdain from fans. Gameplay is solid, but unfortunatley the Great Sea as an overworld can be rather lacking compared to the side content in other entries. The Triforce Shard quest is also still as much of a pain as you remember, they definetley had to rush the ending to cover for the dungeons they weren't able to add (the gimped fire & ice dungeons).

Sailing still gets a little monotonous at points, but this remaster does smooth things out a bit. And the game itself is so charming and adorable that it's worth checking out.

C'est le meilleur zelda pour moi

C juego todo hermoso bello y majestuoso lo recomiendo demasiado el primer Zelda que me pase y no me arrepiento de nada

I'm really glad they made the Triforce quest better

I like this game a lot. The art direction, the music, the dungeons, the characters, this game has it all. I got the special edition Wii U that came with this game and played through it pretty fast. Definitely in my top three games in the series.

Wind Waker HD resolves pretty much all of the gameplay issues of the original (shortening the Triforce Shards quest) but its hyperbloom graphics actually reduce the overall charm compared to the original. Also being able to instantly swap between TV and Gamepad is A+ gamer shit that the Wii U was ahead of its time in implementing. Notice how the Switch lets you do that for every game? Wind Waker HD walked so the Switch could sprint, baby

Improved a lot on the GameCube original, and it looks beautiful to boot

Made a ton of improvements over the original but God the over reliance on bloom ruins the art style. Everything feels so flushed out by how bright it is. Ugh.

com toda certeza meu zelda favorito, o jogo esta no meu top 10 até hoje, o jogo é fantastico ele é super desafiador, e faz você ter que ser inteteligente e estar sempre atento no jogo, o jogo é extremamente bonita e é o zelda mais bonito do wii u, os personagens são super expresivos (principalmente o link) e isso tem o jogo cheio de carisma, o jogo ele tem muitos itens escodidos e isso faz você querer continuar jogando jogo por muito tempo, pois a progreção dele é muito boa.

This was my first Zelda game and it did
not disappoint. The story is much more linear, however, it is early in the game the world really opens up and you are able to explore pretty much everything. I find it
rewarding to get lost as this led to me finding many secrets. The variety of tools makes it so the game doesn’t feel like it’s being dragged on. The dungeons are clever, especially
the ones where you have to work with other characters. The vibrant colors, fun music, and funny characters make this game even more enjoyable. Despite knowing practically
nothing about Zelda games I still had a solid idea of what was going on.

very cute art style,nice gameplay,loved the ost,story is simple but cool,very good one.

I don’t have complaints.

I love Wind Waker, but don't play the original if you can opt for this. This one fixes most of it's problems and looks absolutely beautiful.


really good, feels very different from the other zelda games even though it has the same gameplay formula and mechanics. It's the artstyle and the setting that really separates it. It still has a few rough edges but I don't really care, I had fun. 100%-ing this game is super tedious though.

The game is fantastic whenever you're not sailing, but unfortunately about half the game is about sailing, and it's not very enjoyable. You mostly just watch your boat for 3-5 minutes while doing fetch quests. Too many of the islands or side paths you encounter just give you rupees you don't need. Shame, since the music and art are honestly the best of the entire series.

I like this game when you are playing it. (I don't like the ship stuff)
