An ode to the past, and the hope of building a better future, this is what Zelda Wind Waker is.

After 10 years from playing Wind Waker (Gamecube version), i found myself with a sudden urge to replay this game, and out of all the new games I had started I said "Why not?", and so i jumped right in, but this time I chose the Wii U version.

The Wii U version does a great job upon the original game, it brings better graphics, better lightings and textures, while preserving the beautiful amd unique artstyle that got WW to receive the recognition it had obtained in the past, improving so much into the feeling and imersion on the exploration of the game.

I really love all this game has to offer, its vast open-sea to explore, full of islands that are remains of an old world, there's so much story and background around all of that, that people who played Ocarina of Time will understand it very well, it really amazes me this kinda of "world building" approach they decided to take.

Besides being so much fun in everything, Zelda Wind Waker honors an important predecessor, not only through its soundtrack, but in its world, its characters and the roles they must accept to ensure the safety of that new world, no matter how fractured it is, even thus, it is important that we let the sea wash away the past, so that we can sail, in search of building a new future and new lands.
