The game doesn't release at retail till early October, but gamers can begin playing this title soon if they buy a special edition Wii U next week. That said, Welcome to the official discussion thread for The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD! Whether you're someone who played and beat this game back in 2003, or maybe you're new and eager to get your Link wet, come here to discuss the game! IGN.com just released their review and I believe that makes it the first review score for the title. What did they give it? You might not be surprised, but you can look at their review here. For the lazy,... 9.8/10 I have fond memories of picking the original game up from my non-standard Gamestop the night before release. They opened the doors at 10pm and let us get the game early just as the box literally arrived. I don't understand why things went down like that but I was always proud that I was nerdy enough to have been the first person to leave that Gamestop with Zelda that night. Now, I have it pre-ordered at another Gamestop, my normal one, because I want that badass statue offer. As Carlosrox continues to point out, the game looks beautiful and now that I've had an awesome Samsung HDTV for a little less than a year now, I am excited to finally embrace HD with Zelda and see how beautiful this game is at 40 inches and 1080p. Bring it on Nintendo. I have what it takes.URL to share (right click and copy)

Game beaten! The ending was quite good, as I remembered. Puppet Ganon really is weird. I remember when I originally played I was so hyped at that moment thinking he was turning into regular Ganon only to be disappointed. I guess I appreciate it more now, as it's interesting, but there's still really no explanation.
Gotta love the final blow of the game. Loved that the first time through, and still do. I remember finding it pretty shocking in a Nintendo game.
End credit music is sublime, of course.
I must say, the more I think about it, I really think this game would have worked well and perhaps even better as a stand alone game rather than a Zelda game. I know it's a sequel to Ocarina of Time in a sense, but it doesn't really have to be to work. And Link is quite different in this game from others, the whole sea theme doesn't really fit the rest of the series, and something about the story makes me feel like it would stand really well on its own. Of course, Nintendo loves to slap their brands on everything and the whole video game world is so horny for sequels that it would never have happened. Oh well. Still a great game and this version is a definite improvement. Glad I got it for free because I probably wouldn't have bothered with it otherwise.
P.S. Tetra never learned how to wink properly. |

P.S. Tetra never learned how to wink properly. I dunno, that game spawned multiple games in that style afterwards. I suppose it could have all been a new series, but there were some big impact moments that really depended on the Ocarina lineage to work. |
