The game has to actually be seen in motion to be believed, as still images won't do its stark, yet subtle, beauty justice. "The Wind Waker HD looks incredible, and it is the perfect HD realization of the original game's visual style. The result is a modern classic that remains as charming and atmospheric to play as ever, but feels like a bit of a missed opportunity, considering how some parts of the core design stick out like a sore thumb today. For whatever reason, Nintendo have done the exact opposite, polishing the visual and audio side of Wind Waker, while interfering with the gameplay as little as possible. In a remake of the game, therefore, you would expect Nintendo to not focus on the presentation aspects of Wind Waker’s design as much- they’ve held up so well, after all- and instead to concentrate on bringing the gameplay and structural portions of title up to speed. A lot of its faults were excusable back then- today, the game doesn’t hold up nearly half as well because of said issues. Before the release of Skyward Sword, The Wind Waker was indisputably the weakest of the mainline Zelda games in terms of game structure, pacing, and dungeon design. What has not held up all that well in The Wind Waker, ironically enough especially for a Nintendo game, is its actual core game design. "The result is a modern classic that remains as charming and atmospheric to play as ever, but feels like a bit of a missed opportunity, considering how some parts of the core design stick out like a sore thumb today." It is not uncommon to hear refrains of ‘The Wind Waker is the best Zelda game ever,’ or, ‘The Wind Waker is the greatest game ever.’

This, coupled with its incredible soundtrack (arguably the best soundtrack in a series known for its excellent music), as well as the charming characters, great atmosphere, and the wonderful story, have all led to the game being held in incredibly high regard today. Time has been extremely kind to the game, which polarized popular opinion upon release- the art style, which was instantly dismissed by an industry in the throes of the growing pains of adolescence, has come to be widely regarded as timeless and stunning, and graphically, the game holds its own even today, ten years later. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker is a modern classic.
