  On September 20, 2013 the game was released in North America. In addition to updated graphics The Wind Waker HD includes the swift sail, an updated Triforce quest, and a hero mode like the one in Skyward Sword.  The Wind Waker HD's hero mode adds a certain level of difficulty to the game by doubling the amount of damage that you take from enemies and removing recovery hearts from the game.  A few minor changes made to the game were the change to the pictobox to allow it to hold 12 pictures at a time, the abitlity to take pictures of link, and the addition of the tingle bottle(this replaced the tingle tuner).

The Wind Waker is set in The Great Sea which is the flooded land of Hyrule.  There are 49 islands in The Great Sea to explore along with enemy subs and lookout towers. In the game there are few times where link visits the original land of Hyrule which is now buried beneath the ocean.  These visitations occur towards the middle and the end of the game.  In order to travel across The Great Sea, Link uses a boat which can talk and is named "The King of Red Lions".  Link can use The Wind Waker to control the flow of the winds which allows him to set his course without dependence on the wild nature of the winds of the ocean.
