Fiquei muito feliz em não ter jogado a versão original e ter aproveitado essa versão em HD. A possibilidade de iniciar já no modo difícil, bem como a vela de navegação rápida tornaram a experiência mais completa.

I'm really glad they made the Triforce quest better

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

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

i miss tingle bottles every day of my life

The Great Sea has to be one of the worst over worlds ever put in a video game. Anything cool that is there is in the middle of vast seas where you can legit put your controller down and go to the bathroom with no consequences. The dungeons are nothing special from what I've played either (Tower of the Gods). That being said this game has a very nice art style so if that's why you play games, go for it but there really isn't anything else here.

It's a good remake of a good game! Technically not cel-shaded but still amazing looking.

This is the better best one.

It's like Windwaker but with copious amounts of bloom

It's Windwaker, of course it's good. Shame about the Tingle Bottles, though...

A really fun Zelda game, just easy to get lost sometimes haha.

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!

a game so good it's the best game on two separate platforms.

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.

Such a fantastic game! I have very little experience with gaming and it really made me start getting more interested in video games. It was really great also because it was neither too easy or too difficult. There were challenges but I never felt like giving up out of frustration.

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.

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.

A true classic. This was the first Zelda game I ever played, and I had some trouble at first, but after a year of being stuck at Forsaken Fortress, I got past it and started really enjoying myself. Now I replayed it with a friend in the HD version, and I must say that it is basically a straight upgrade in just about every way. Positives are everywhere. There is a sail that lets you change the direction of the wind AND go faster with your boat, which removes having to change the wind manually all the time and makes you travel the sea faster. The triforce hunt has been largely redesigned to still capture the feeling of exploring the sea that the original had, but also removing some of the charts required, making it a whole lot less tedious. There is actually just one thing that I would mention as both a positive and a negative: by jump attacking and then immediately inputting a spin attack, your damage doubles for the spin attack. This turns out to be incredibly overpowered, killing most enemies a lot easier than it would have been otherwise. Otherwise the game is much the same, and here are some opinions on the game in general. I love the music in The Wind Waker! Not only is it highly nostalgic to me, but some more experimental tunes have sneaked their way in there, like the song playing in Hyrule Castle before getting the Master Sword, which sounds incredibly broken, distorted and has a very relaxed relationship to silence which I absolutely love. My absolute favourite of these experimental tunes has to be the Illusory Room in Ganon's Castle near the end. Everything about it is odd: odd rhythms, odd instrumentations, etc. I especially love how one part of the mix is delayed by an eighth note, making it sound different the more time passes. And because it is a modern Zelda game, every dungeon and boss music is incredible, with the highlights being Wind Temple, Forbidden Woods, Tower of the Gods and Forsaken Fortress for the dungeons, and Helmaroc King, Gohdan, all Ganon related boss tunes and Molgera. I also love how open the world is in this game. You are stuck for a bit in the beginning, but after the first two dungeons, you are free to go basically wherever you like. And there is just so much to explore, and it feels so natural to explore it because you are on the sea! I think that too is awesome, the fact that you are on the sea. And the final section rivals the final sections of my more appreciated Zelda games like Twilight Princess and Ocarina of Time. I think the bosses toward the end are the best in the game, and that's exactly how it should be. This game would have been an 8 if it was the original version, but thanks to all the improvements I cannot justify giving this anything less than a 9!

the best fucking zelda game

Red-sailed boat goes zooooooooooooom.

Puzzles aren’t my thing anymore...


the sea may be empty but my heart is full

Travelling around the sea is just a fun gamellay mechanic. Not a lot of dungeons but they're pretty good.

Mid dungeons and pacing, and it's rushed development definitely shows at times, but it has fun exploration, combat and story with some good Zelda music.

Remaster just straight up anal butt shits all over the art style of the original. This is not what the game needed. Doesn't help that it's a bad remaster of one of the weaker parts of the 3D games.
