Nintendo's Solis details The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker for Wii U

Coming out this October for Wii U is a game that came out for the GameCube more than ten years ago.

That game is The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker and in addition to having 1080p HD-quality graphics, this new Wii U version of the game will have a number of new features. Many of them are centered around the console's GamePad.

This is one of only a few Zelda games that never appealed to me.

FinalFantasyFan3971d ago

It sounded good on paper, but the execution was poor. It had very tiny islands and was very repetitive and boring. But F*** me, right? Rapid-hit the dislike button!

PigPen3971d ago

I can't wait to get this HD gem. While not for everyone, it's definitely for me. I never beat the Gamecube original.

Kevlar0093971d ago

Same here, TriForce collecting was far too repetitve and at times confusing, dragged out too long

A gem that was never got the respect it deserved when it was released

Was a price mentioned yet? I hope it is at least ten dollars less then the normal wiiu games.

I'd put Street Fighter 2 over 3. 2 and all its different versions dominated the arcade scene back in the day in a way that 3 never did.

Abear21201d ago

Agreed, Same with Metal Gear Solid imo. Came for Bioshock and was not disappointed. Would easily put Burger Time or Space Taxi over tempest. Also, OG Sim City and Oregon Trail. Mario 64 as well. Just too many!

Abear21201d ago

Never played it I gotta get on this one

Double_O_Revan201d ago

Me too. I didn't have a GC until way later and never played it. I've been waiting on Nintendo to release the HD edition on the Switch for forever, but they just won't!

FinalFantasyFanatic201d ago

I never bought a Gamecube, I've always had an urge to play this game, maybe it'll get a remaster in the future.

LoveSpuds200d ago

I played it on WiiU for the first time and it remains my fave Zelda game to date. So much character and a real sense of exploration without the open world bloat.

Ms Pacman?
Robotron?
SSF2 Turbo over 3 simply by the 10000000000's ports of the game we're still having
Castlevania SOTN?
Zelda Link to the Past over Wind Waker
Super Mario Bros 3?
Chrono Trigger?
Resident evil4?
COD MW2 (the original)?
Uncharted 2
Metal Gear Solid?

Here's my reasoning for all of them versus the list proposed in the article.
They are still quite enjoyable from start to finish on their original platform, unlike some Wind Waker or Okami that are fun when you play the remastered version (unless you call: forced to watch a 20-minute cutscene or have to blow for wind chance constantly fun).
Some of them are the pinnacle of what the console could do (MGS, Chrono, MGS)
Lots of them are still considered the go-to-go game for their genre.

Said it before but Heart of Darkness is truly a timeless gem.
