I woke up early yesterday morning. Reached for my phone, checked the site, saw the news that Wind Waker was being remade for the Wii U, laughed, thought it was a dream then went back to sleep. It's only a couple of hours later, when I woke up again and noticed it was still there, that I realized the news was true.

Relive the golden age of gaming with these timeless video games. From Wind Waker to Monkey Island, get ready for a nostalgia-filled ride.
I'd put Street Fighter 2 over 3. 2 and all its different versions dominated the arcade scene back in the day in a way that 3 never did.
Ms Pacman?
Robotron?
SSF2 Turbo over 3 simply by the 10000000000's ports of the game we're still having
Castlevania SOTN?
Zelda Link to the Past over Wind Waker
Super Mario Bros 3?
Chrono Trigger?
Resident evil4?
COD MW2 (the original)?
Uncharted 2
Metal Gear Solid?
Here's my reasoning for all of them versus the list proposed in the article.
They are still quite enjoyable from start to finish on their original platform, unlike some Wind Waker or Okami that are fun when you play the remastered version (unless you call: forced to watch a 20-minute cutscene or have to blow for wind chance constantly fun).
Some of them are the pinnacle of what the console could do (MGS, Chrono, MGS)
Lots of them are still considered the go-to-go game for their genre.
Major 2023 game anniversaries include The World Ends With You, Mario Kart Wii, and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, among many others
20 years later, The Wind Waker’s Ganondorf is still The Legend of Zelda’s best villain.
I think i'll trust Nintendo and going off the graphics it looks awesome.
I've finished Windwaker 4 times Since I bought it , One of which was mid 2012. Regardless I am still really happy to be playing an overhauled version , which hopefully has more than Just graphics to refresh the overall experience.
I have the original Collectors Edition Windwaker from Day which has Ocarina/Masterquest on it. But that didn't stop me from buying Ocarina 3D and putting 124 hours into that and the same Applies to Windwaker reborn.
@Kaibatsu - You serious ? It looks 10 times nicer than the original Windwaker , and people still complain , lol. If you don't like it stick to the old Windwaker.
Ocarina 3D looks much better than the original Ocarina and no doubt this will be a similar upgrade.
I am a bit worried about the graphics. I hope they don't try to do anything fancy and mess them up.
so far im loving the graphics. Cant wait to see how some of the temples look like, just thinking about how the temple in dragonroost island will look like makes me drool
I would like to see some gamepad implementation to navigation at sea, especially if we could easily adjust the wind direction from there without having to constantly pull out the baton
Gorgeous game to begin with and a lovely adventure, but one that was incredibly easy to the point of being disappointing and even insulting. The bird boss you fight for example is so stupidly easy it makes you wonder if they had 4 year olds in mind, and one on one encounters too just aren't challenging in any way. Skyward Sword improves this aspect and I hope they have this in mind for WW
An adorable game though and a great shame when it came to end- too few dungeons being the the other issue despite the 4 in Majoras's Mask feeling just right. In fact it would be great to see those dungeons that never came to be that were on the disc in some form
Either way I'll buy this but I hope they allow something like a master mode
