The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD makes a masterpiece even better (review)

Nintendo may have cheated, but its struggling Wii U system has its first great game. Of course, that game originally came out back in 2003 for the GameCube. I’m talking about The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, a fan-favorite installment in Nintendo’s famous series of swordplay and fantasy.

Now, The Wind Waker gets the HD treatment, but the Wii U version (out in the Wii U eShop on Sep. 20 and in stores Oct. 4) also gets a few new convenient features and enhancements. This classic now looks and plays better than ever.
