It's not long now until the world gets to experience The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD on the Wii U, so to ensure that your anticipation levels remain at maximum we've cooked up some gameplay footage taken from our first few hours with the epic adventure.
If you've played Wind Waker on the GameCube then it will all look very familiar, if a little less fuzzy. If you're a complete newcomer to the title, then hopefully you'll see some stuff which will make you even more keen to get your grubby hands on it.
Wind Waker HD launches in North America and Europe on October 4th.

I can't handle the gorgeous visuals.
the image was a bit much, sorry :3 — TBD
5:00 ~ thats what you get for breaking other people's vases... lolz
I really need the review to force my hand with this buying decision. I never thought this was the best Zelda, the sailing and lack of land disappointed me. I really enjoyed the combat and subsequent Zelda games have made me appreciate the side quests in this one but do I really need to play it again?
8 more sleeps!!! Weeooop
To me, this Zelda has the best soundtrack. I used to boot up Brawl just to listen to those songs.
@Nintendojoe64, I share your chain of thought, for this one I might need to be persuaded by Nintendo lifes review to consider replaying this one
Wonderful game
Despite a few little niggles with how they've handed the visuals in this HD update it is still a beautiful game.
Makes me want to play it again and actually complete it this time.
This will be my first dowload game (due to the small file size). I've not played this game for ten years now!
Looks beautiful. I wish more games would strive for vivid art styles, instead of realistic all the time.
So gorgeous~
WOW! I can't wait to play this gorgeous game!!!!!!!! Link looks so cool without his hat on!
Still thinking of buying this game since I have the gamecube version plus the hd version too expensive for a remake!!!
Have gamcub version already...
Pass. But maybe it will sell a few dozen more Wii U's.
I know the game is huge, but I really hope they added some new dungeon or islands.
So beautiful can't wait to get my Wii U bundled with it.
@SilentHunter382
This is awesome and all, but... you just HAD to post that gif, didn't you.
@Emaan (so shiny!)
I'm glad this is a REAL HD remake and not a fake one were they just brighten the game and don't re do textures and characters -_-
Hope it sells at a lower price point.
@Dogpigfish
Just so you don't get your hopes up, there are no new dungeons or islands and unless they add DLC which I seriously doubt, there won't be.
CANNOT WAIT TO PLAY THIS BEAUTY! Even though I still need to wait 3 more weeks since I pre-ordered the Ganon figure edition. I would not touch Miiverse once the digital version releases or I will be tempted to download it right away! haha
I'm sure it's great, but I'm not going to watch it. I'm waiting for the game itself. I've been teased enough already.
Preordered my bundle yesterday, can't wait to pick it up next friday. Never played Wind Waker before.. kind of glad I waited now.
I forgot how good this is. My kids are going to go crazy.
Arguably, the least of all Zeldas in need of a face lift.
Not complaining. Just stating the obvious.
@iMii #4 ''8 more sleeps!!! Weeooop''
8 nights to what?
graphics look great in HD as do the new textures but there're lots of sharp edges and landscapes with flat inclines and surfaces. Seems like it'll be great for alot of zelda fans and people who want nintendo to succeed but doesn't quite bring the game to the expectations that gamers have for next generation (or even the current one really).
