I’m sure this game is fantastic, but for 40 dollars (20 dollars over the $19.99 Nintendo Select Retail Price) I expect to receive the correct packaging.
Now I will have to go though a process to return this.
Once again, I played the GameCube version of this game, and it was 5/5.... and amazon has been helpful..... Adler Deals has a misleading photo and is capitalizing on knowing that gamers will pay more for original packaging.

But the pointless backtracking and tedium of travel sends this to near bottom of the pack for me as far as Zelda games go. For instance, there's a part near the end of the game (no spoilers, I promise) where you're asked to sail to the edge of the map to enter a dungeon. Fine. But when you get there, there's no way to get on the island. Talking to the map fish (this game is ridiculous, I know) reveals that you have to go to another location halfway across the world to get the item you need to land on the island. So you go to that location, and hopefully you chanced into getting the item you need to get on THAT island, since it's not a dungeon reward and there's no indication that you should get it before then. Well, let's assume you got it. You get your item and head back to the dungeon location, and great, now you can get on the island. Except that you can't open the door to the dungeon until you go to ANOTHER location clear across the map (but frustratingly close to where you get the item) in order to pick up the person you need to let you into the dungeon. That's three separate visits just to get into this one dang dungeon.
Thankfully, the Wii U remake has added some things to make travel faster. The swift sail you can win both speeds up your boat and automatically changes the wind direction when you're sailing. This helps since, while I'm glad the warp points exist, they're often one or two map squares from where you need to be. But in true Zelda fashion, there's very little indication that the swift sail exists. I heard about it from one of the map fish, again...but there are 49 of them, and talking to them all is extremely tedious, especially if you don't have the swift sail.
In fact, a lot of this game kind of weaponizes tedium for no other reason than to make the game longer and more annoying. 95% of the platforms in the game are either: a millimeter too high for Link to climb up, so you have to walk around for a bit to find the exact spot he can climb; or, just high enough so that Link does have to climb up, which takes way too long and involves constant repetition of Link's struggling grunts. Why are there so few changes in elevation that can simply be walked up? And the fact that the same sound cue is used for every enemy within sight of Link becomes pretty annoying after about an hour. Finally, there's a guy in your home town where you practice your sword skills in order to receive rewards. Minor spoiler, one of the rewards is a piece of heart, which is awesome. However, that requires you to hit him THREE HUNDRED times with your sword before he can hit you three times. And since you can only get about six hits on him before having to retreat and re-approach, this would take approximately forever to do. Why 300? That's an insane amount of time to ask a player to do a mundane task. Actually, it might be 500. I don't know, I was bored to tears after about 120 hits.
That said, the combat in this one is pretty good, and a big improvement over Ocarina and Majora's Mask. And the constant interruption from your fairy/demon/sword companion, who tells you pointless things you already know, or just makes annoying noises ("HEY LISTEN! WATCH OUT! LOOK!"), is largely absent from this one. You do have an interrupting companion (your boat...it makes more sense later on), but it generally leaves you alone.
So yeah, if you don't value your time all that much and are willing to be bounced around a largely empty map, there's fun to be had. It is a Zelda game after all, so you'll find some fun puzzles, good boss fights, interesting items. But just be warned that this game is pretty dang annoying. 3.5 stars.
I love it.
I absolutely love it. The graphics are beautiful and the story is great and I am so sad that I spent so many years disliking this game because, man, was I missing out. I've played every 3D Zelda game to date, and a few others including LBW, ALTTP, and Minish Cap, but Wind Waker ranks in my top 3 of all time (along with Majora and Skyward Sword) now that I've played it through.
If you're considering purchasing this game, then I think you should go for it, especially if you're a Zelda fan. It's so worth it. This is such a gorgeous game, and it is so much fun!

I kept wondering "what did they change?" "is it going to be the same?" "is it better?"
IT'S GREAT! My favourite thing is that they took the items board and put it (and the map) on the controller screen, it makes it much easier to change Items. The only flaw, is the aiming, you either have to use the camera stick (located about the buttons you need to use, so annoying) or move your controller to aim before you shoot (arrows, boomerang, bombs, etc.) and it doesn't always respond well. That's literally the ONLY problem.
If you have never played this game before DO IT! it's so much fun.
Lots of puzzles to solve and plenty of actions, there are side adventures as well to keep busy and it’s not so hard you have to cheat and look online for tips. They do have a special stone in the game that will give you tips in game which is nice 👍
Pros:
- HD resolution and smooth framerate (mostly)
- Shortened repetative actions (using any wind waker song more than once becomes instant)
- Controls feel more natural (Better mapping)
- Faster sailing
- Revamped soundtrack sounds better than ever!
- Hero mode adds difficulty and replayability
- Easier locations for certain items, mainly triforce pieces
- Cheaper than most games (I consider this a big plus since I buy many games)
Cons:
- Frame rate sometimes dips when there is alot happening on screen.
Overall this is a great game whether you have never played it before or have played the original many times like myself! Its definitely shelf worthy for any Wii U owner because anyone can play it and have fun.
