Tag: The Wind Waker HD

Zelda games have been around for 28 years and counting, spanning every single Nintendo handheld and home console. They frequently set a benchmark for graphics and sound for their time. Ocarina of Time brought the series into 3D, and both it and its sequel, Majora’s Mask, are still some of the best looking N64 games. The upcoming Zelda game for the Wii U looks to continue that trend, with eye-popping graphical detail everywhere you look…

Calling all avid speedrunners! The YouTube show Son of a Glitch, a series showcasing several glitches from a variety of games, has made an episode about The Wind Waker, and there is a lot to see. The Wind Waker, both the Gamecube version and the modern HD version, is filled with glitches usable simply for fun or for speedrunning purposes, so there are a lot to cover. This episode will cover ones from the Wii U game. Check out the…

The Wind Waker HD is currently the only mainline Zelda game released at retail on the Wii U, but what’s more important than the fact the game was remade is the glitches that are possible. Son of a Glitch, a show that is part of YouTube channel A+Start, decided to tackle The Wind Waker HD and show us 27 different glitches… and how to actually perform them. They are also going to do a second part where they go over glitches in the original The Wind Waker for GameCube, as each game has things exclusive to their versions for glitching. Here’s a list of the glitches covered in this episode…

When it comes to remastering old games, there’s often a very big argument about whether it’s “too soon” to make it, if the game is too new for a remake; we saw all kinds of arguments like this last year, back when The Wind Waker HD was released, and it’s become a really big issue with other remakes like the new Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

Within the Zelda community, and at Zelda Informer especially, we’re constantly arguing about this kind of issue; should a Majora’s Mask remake be put into production, or is the game too new to do so? Should the next remake instead be for something like…

Wow, I can’t believe it’s been almost a year since The Wind Waker HD came out.

As you can see here, the game is now selling for only $40 on Amazon, a great mark down from the original $50, so if you haven’t already, now is the perfect time to buy the game.

The bundle that comes with the Zelda-themed Wii U and a digital copy of Hyrule Historia (which I proudly bought for myself last year) is actually selling for over $450 on Amazon, as there are only a few left in stock…

Welcome to a brand new series, one which aims to make a counter argument or counter point to editorials and authors from another land. What I mean to say is, this is a series that does exactly what it says it does: it makes a counterpoint to someone else’s thoughts and ideas on the internet. Sometimes this may simply be a well-respected fan’s thoughts in the comments – other times it will be full blown editorial responses. Today, I am going to make a counterpoint to Alex Plant’s latest editorial, which states rather plainly that “Zelda Should Embrace Traditional Fantasy Visuals”. It’s a good read for those who haven’t had a chance to see it yet.
