On top of all of the news in regards to the Breath of the Wild sequel and Link’s Awakening Switch remake, The Wind Waker has been popping up a bit more often nowadays. Now while I wish the news about my favorite Zelda game of all-time was about an eventual Switch port, it’s been mostly about things in the speed running community. So take it from me how my curiosity was raised a bit when I saw YouTube’s SwankyBox specifically talk about the ending scene to The Wind Waker.

Now while you may believe the video’s all about the lore aspect of the finale, it’s actually focused on the differences in the ending scene between The Wind Waker and The Wind Waker HD. With the help of MelonSpeedruns, they looked at how the GCN version’s ending was done, in comparison to how the Wii U’s version unfolds. While the original ending was just a straight-up video file (that took up half of the GCN disk), the HD remake’s ending was actually created and is running in-game.

What do you think of this video? Do you believe we’re getting a Switch port of The Wind Waker HD sooner, rather than later? Let us know in the comments below!
