The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD

Welcome Wind Waker Strategy Guide

Introduction

By Daniel Chaviers

Welcome to the 2004/2013 cel-shaded (re)adventure for Link as he straps on his sea legs and fares out into the open waters. Originally released on the Nintendo GameCube to much critique (you either love or hate the graphics); it was remastered for the Nintendo Wii U in 2013 and now boasts some seriously good looking visuals at the full HD resolution of 1080p.

Combined with some, much requested, gameplay tweaks, the HD-edition makes for a welcome return for Link (especially for many gamers who were too young to enjoy it in the GameCube-era).

Our guide was originally designed for the GC version; but it has been updated and adapted to be just as helpful for the Wii U version. We hope that it provides all the help you need and if you’ve got any feedback on it then we’d love to hear it!

Set hundreds of years after the events of Ocarina of Time, The Wind Waker finds the hero Link in a sea scattered with 49 islands, which necessitates frequent sailing and naval combat. Link lives with his grandmother and younger sister Aryll on Outset Island, one of the few inhabited islands in the Great Sea. The people of the Great Sea pass down a legend of a prosperous kingdom with a hidden golden power. An evil man found and stole this power, using it to spread darkness until a young boy dressed in green sealed the evil with the Blade of Evil’s Bane. The boy became known as the Hero of Time and passed into legend. One day the sealed evil began to return, but the Hero of Time did not reappear. The inhabitants of the Great Sea are unsure of the kingdom’s fate, but it is clear that this legend is the story of Ocarina of Time where the Hero of Time, Link, fought Ganondorf. Can you emerge as the new Hero of Time?
