Developer

During a Nintendo Direct presentation on January 23rd, 2013, Eiji Aonuma announced a remake of The Wind Waker on the Nintendo Wii U with updated HD graphics.[1] The updated graphics use textures instead of the cel-shading iconic of the original game for the Nintendo GameCube.

The title is confirmed to be The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD[2]

Development

At E3 in 2011, Nintendo presented a Zelda HD demo to promote the Wii U's capabilities. This demo used the more realistic graphics from Twilight Princess, and was part of a series of experiments with updating previous games' graphics for the new HD console. As a result of these experiments, The Wind Waker stood out to the developers as a brand-new experience, and they decided to make it into a game.[1]

The Wind Waker HD is planned for release in Fall of 2013 as a treat for fans as they wait for Zelda Wii U which is undergoing lengthy development.[1]

Minor changes have been made to the gameplay, such as the addition of a "fast" button while sailing. [2]
