Yesterday, Zelda Universe received a review copy of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD, and since then I have been “working diligently” to complete the game. I started the game using the new “Hero Mode”, and I have actually been surprised by the challenge it offers (but I haven’t died yet!). After one…
During The Wind Waker’s original release, the concept of cel shaded graphics was just emerging and received heavy criticism from fans who were hoping to see a title with improved graphics from the Nintendo 64 era.

Sad news for US fans who missed out on the GameStop-exclusive Limited Edition of The Wind Waker HD bundled with a Ganondorf statue, as the retailer has already sold out of the bundles.

Nintendo is addressing one of the most common complaints about The Wind Waker, stating that a complete overhaul of the tedious, late-game quest for the Triforce of Courage shards would be a key change in The Wind Waker HD. More info after the jump about how the hunt for the Triforce will be streamlined in The…
A couple of weeks ago, the official Japanese product information page for The Wind Waker HD on Nintendo’s website revealed that the file size will be 2.6GB. For whatever reason, Europe’s digital file size for the digital eShop reason is significantly smaller at 1.75GB, or more specifically, 1794MB. That’s close to a whole gigabyte less! The was…
