The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD Review

Putting the wind in the Wii U’s sail.

The Wii U has been struggling in the absence of a system seller, and a Legend of Zelda game would normally do the trick and turn the tides in favor of Nintendo’s new console. But these aren’t normal circumstances, and this Legend of Zelda game isn’t a new entry but a HD remastering…

  • Cartoony, cel-shaded visuals look absolutely gorgeous in HD
  • Link’s quest here is more fun and a lot more light-hearted than other Zelda games
  • Inventory awesomely accessible through the GamePad’s screen
  • Epic boss fights, especially the final showdown with Ganondorf
  • Tons of exploration…
  • ...by way of the sea, which is tedious and time-consuming
  • Too much back and forth during the later quests in the game
  • Clunky camera and a targeting system that gets in the way of itself
