A beautiful game that sometimes leaves you adrift.

User Rating: 8 | The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD WIIU

I love the Zelda series. I also love that Nintendo released a HD version of this game. I don't think a ton of people got to experience this the first time around on the good ol' cube. It really is a beautiful game with its crisp artwork style. The HD really makes it look even more stunning. My main problem with the game is that the boat traveling is still tedious. I'm glad they added the swift sail for easier travels but man I just don't enjoy all the fetch quests and the amount of traveling you have to do. The dungeons are really cool, albeit frustrating at times. I also wish the hookshot and the bow and arrow were a little easier to aim with. I would play this game on hero mode next... the game is a bit too easy. I never died once through the whole game collecting everything.

Best gaming moment: Stepping onto the green grass on Outset Island and just soaking up the beautiful artwork on display on this HD remake. The Wii U truly can make games shine.

Worst gaming moment: Getting hit by a Peahat enemy and falling down a deep dark hole and having to start a room over in the final castle.

Final Judgement: If you've never played it. PLAY IT. It really is a good Zelda (with some minor problems). If you have played it then I would suggest Hero mode so you at least have more of a challenge since they didn't change much in the game.
