The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD (Japanese: ゼルダの伝説 風のタクト HD Hepburn: Zeruda no Densetsu: Kaze no Takuto HD?) is a 2013 action-adventure game in the The Legend of Zelda series for the Wii U home video game console. Developed and published by Nintendo, it is a remastered version of the 2002 GameCube game, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.
The Wind Waker HD expands on the original by introducing native 1080p resolution, an alternative lighting engine, as well as new gameplay features and modifications. The release of the game marked the ten-year anniversary of the international release of the original, and was the first game in the series released on the Wii U.
The gameplay is largely the same as the original version of The Wind Waker on the GameCube; however, the game offers graphical modifications and various new features from the original.
The Wii U GamePad's touchscreen serves as a map and inventory, eliminating the need to toggle between gameplay and the menu interface. Players can use motion controls to control the Wind Waker. Some weapons, like the bow, can be aimed using the GamePad's gyroscope, as in Ocarina of Time 3D. The game offers Off-TV Play which enables the player to play the game solely on the Wii U GamePad. The game can also be played on the Wii U Pro Controller, a controller similar to the one used in the original game.
