Screen Shot 2013-08-22 at 4.43.57 PMNot too long ago, we were given the details that there would be a more challenging difficulty level in The Wind Waker HD. Upon confirmation, Hero Mode can be playable from the start! You can also count on more difficult enemies that to do twice the damage and test the threat of losing hearts quicker, as they can only be recovered with potions. That’s right: no hearts can be found in the environment in this more challenging mode!

Hit the jump for more!

In addition to Hero Mode being available to play from the beginning, the difficulty can be turned off at anytime on the selection screen.

To my surprise, these new challenges seem promising for a new level of difficulty in The Wind Waker HD. Looking forward to a new play through in this Hero Mode? Or would you have preferred additional difficulties like we’ve seen in the past with the Master Quest?
