    Wind Waker was always my favorite Zelda of all time. Some people might say that it looks childish, but the bright, colorful graphics are more vibrant than any other game today. The sword-fighting combat is also a lot more complex than any other Zelda. The story and the characters just give this adventure more life than any others that came after it.

    The boss battles are a lot of fun, the story is great, and there's lots to explore. I just don't really care for the triforce pieces because of Tingle and how much he charges to translate the maps.

    Nintendo updated a classic Legend of Zelda game to full HD.

    It's like your usual HD remake, only with actual effort and improvements included. Besides the obvious resolution bump, graphics and lighting were rebuilt from the ground up. New elements were added, such as the GamePad's use as a map and inventory management, and most importantly, problems with the original product were fixed. Objects now appear earlier on the horizon, a tedious mid-game fetch quest has been made shorter and funner, and certain items can be found to reward curious and returning players.

    Not all remakes are equal. Wind Waker HD, like Metroid Zero Mission and Pokemon HeartGold, belongs to the top tier of remakes that made already great games even better.

    The Legend of Zelda has always tried to present players with a large, open world. In The Wind Waker, you're given a vast sea to explore, covered with islands which each hold their own attractions and secrets to discover. The HD re-release is the same as the core game but, with upgrades such as being able to keep an eye on the map in real time, as you sail. There's even a more effective sail that can be found, purchased and, used that keeps players from having to constantly stop and change the wind's direction manually. This is by far my favorite of the 3D Zelda games, even if it wasn't one that needed to be remade in HD.

    This is the first 3D Zelda game I have ever played and I liked it. Even though I had a hard time getting used to the gameplay, I went through it and it was worth it. The graphics are good and the soundtrack is outstanding. Exploration is key in this game, there is so much to do that I spent over 50 hours getting most of the treasures and pieces of hearts. For a beginner like me, the dungeons were incredibly hard. Especially the puzzle-solving was intense. I had to ask my online friends about 20 times to complete these dungeons. In contrary to that, combat is easy most of the time - except the last boss fight. All in all, this is a great game even for people who aren't avid Zelda fans. I highly recommend getting this game using the Mario Kart 8 promotion.

    Worst endboss fight in video game history -.-
    I invested four blue potions and 5000 rupees in combination with the magic armor to defeat Ganondorf - and got a Game Over. Now I have 0 rupees and no potions and can start over again. Fuck this. Zelda has the dumbest AI I have ever seen in a video game. This is really frustrating.
