It only took about six months to create our five-star favori⭕te The Legend of Zelda: Th🔜e Wind Waker HD, series producer Eiji Aonuma told (translated by .) The remastered HD version of the g🎉ame came together quickly, though "development was still difficult" thanks to t🔥he difference of hardware.

Aonuma said scaling the game up♔ visually was much easier than getting it to work🦄 in the first place, as cel shading is much more familiar than it was in 2003.

"At that time, the teꦓchnique was established, but 🐼had not be used before by our staff, everyone had to do everything by hand," Aonuma said.

While Wind Waker HD is largely a graphical update, it does have a few changes to the gameplay like (optional) faster sailing and a streamlined hunt for the T⛄riforce pieces. Some cutscenes had to be re-framed to fit the 16:9 aspect ratio, as well.

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuinꦡg my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer 🌱for CVG, and now I'm a staff writer here at GamesRadar.
