The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker makes its glorious return on
the Wii U console with gorgeous HD graphics and enhanced game features.
In this timeless classic with a unique and colorful "toon-shaded" art

islands, fight fearsome enemies, take on mighty bosses, and seek out the
legendary Triforce.

New Features:

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD features 1080p visuals
that will immerse players in the game like never before.

With the Wii U GamePad controller, it’s easy to manage your inventory

bringing them to their next destination and action-packed adventure
that much faster.

Once players receive the "Tingle Bottle" item, they can connect with
others by posting comments to Miiverse. Through this new feature,
comments or screen shots posted on Miiverse will wash up on the shores
of other players’ games. It’s like finding a message in a bottle.

Players can also take and store more pictures with an improved
Pictograph and then post them on Miiverse.
