The Amazon listing for the long-awaited The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD states that there will be an added difficulty setting for veterans of the Gamecube classic.

First
Suck
Uhh hello! this is not good news :( games r 2 hard all redy .. i cant even get pased the first levle in super mario bros. on the nintendo entertanment sistem! Im gonna have 2 pas on this 1.
GTFO, n00b
Uhh hello! he iz rite im not bieng te game now iz to hard and it costed to much.
Your loss, Mr. Pig Face Sanders.
Uhh hello! mother says i look like a duk!
Because you do
TAKE ME MONEYS PLS
Sweet. *Chooses hardest difficulty*
Oh oh, same here.
W00t! Go hard-game lovers! :D
Hope it’s not some hero mode where :
1 you have to complete the game to access it
2 just makes your damage doubled
Lol the damage you take should go up 8x if anything xD bombs and the majority of enemies only do 1/4 damage in wind waker
I completely agree with #1. I always like to play the hardest difficulty, but I when I beat the game, I don’t want to play it again immediately!
Though, sadly, I think this will be the case. In every Zelda game that’s had a hard mode, or “secondary mode” it always unlocks after beating it.
Well the hard mode will probably just be a revamped ‘pajama quest’ which you usually unlock after completing windwaker
oh yeah. I they’ll probably be paired with each other. Like a “pajama mode” or something :d
Ocarina of Time 3D’s Master Quest did more then that. Mirrored World, new puzzels in every dungeon.
Likewise. I almost always start all of my games on the most difficult settings. :3
*Fistbump*
Except in xcom :P
I actually did start XCOM: Enemy Unknown on Impossible mode. lol But the game is in my backlog now.
Challenge Accepted.
I also accept the challenge
I could never get past the castle where you are not supposed to be seen. Fairly in the beginning of the game.I suck at it so i will not buy this one. It bugs me because I really wanted to like this game. Oh well
Ever heard of easy mode?
come on man. that was extremely easy. no reason to give up on the whole game. give it another shot. look at playthroughs if you need help.
Yes, I think I will give that a try.
Really? This game is actually very easy. Not much of a gamer, are you?
Actually I do play a lot.
How old are you? That part of the game is supposed to be fairly simple. Did you ever try hiding under the barrels?
Yes, I hid under the barrels. And I’m a 47 year old female who loves Nintendo.
If it makes you feel better, I hated that part too – I was so relieved when I finally was past it! ;-)
Thank you for sharing, it helps :)
This is awesome!
Cool.
Something like challenge mode in Skyward Sword perhaps? Wouldn’t be complaining anyway, it’s nice to shake things up a bit
Sounds legit,love tv offplay.I plan on buying this.Never played original,but wonder what the harder difficulty entails..
Yes, all i can say is yessss
I just hope this isn’t Nintendo’s only HD remake for the Wii U *looks at Metroid Prime Trilogy*
*Looks at Majora’s Mask*
*Looks at Ocarina of Time*
…
…
Oh wait I forgot they already did that for EVERY CONSOLE EVER ;P
Ocarina of Time only has 1 remake, the 3DS one.
The Wii Virtual Console version and the Collector’s Edition GameCube versions are just ports. And the GameCube Master Quest edition is a port with a new difficulty level.
Yeah, I know haha. I was just joking. :d
It wont happen at least not on wiiu.
YEEESSSSS
Yea, that would be awesome, beacause i didn’t play the original and i’ve heard it’s really good.
Indeed, I have to avenge myself…
Anyway, if this higher difficulty only means the implementation of Hero Mode or Master Quest then I’m not interested by this news…
But if it means harder bosses with new attacks and so on, day one purchase for me because the only issue I have with Zelda games are the very easy bosses…
MM is the hardest 3D game by far but not very hard as a game although challenging enough…
Don’t you imagine, if you were the designers, that’s exactly what you’d love to do? …Use the horsepower to improve AI, animations… Giving your fans something that feels like it used to but plays even better.
Yes I would…
I was actually going to become a Game Artist but decided to skip it since I got into my dream program…
I wonder though if people would still think the Wii U to be underpowered if Xbox Done and PS4 were to be about the same…
However we still do not know the real power behind the Wii U no matter what all these “facts” tell us…
Until we’ve seen the final versions of, at the very least, this game, the next new 3d Zelda game, Pikmin 3, Smash Bros. 4, and (if they choose to make one) the next Mario game with a full overworld, we still won’t know what the system can actually do, in terms of graphics or game design.
*looks at zelda 2 the adventure of link
Yeah spoiler alert, Zelda U is actually a remake of Zelda II : the adventure of link
We need a new Metroid game in general.
How hard is normal difficulty in the Gamecube version compared to other 3D Zelda games? This is the only 3D Zelda I haven’t played yet.
Wind Waker is rather easy, I don’t remember being too chalenged by it.
Yup. Which makes it good that they put higher difficulties. :3
the game was very easy. the only slight challenges were the last battles against ganon and ganondorf.
I found it on the easier side. It doesn’t have the far too obnoxious and confusing water level thing going for it like some of the other 3D Zelda’s did.
only worthwhile new feature is the new difficulty. everything else is nonsensical crap.
yeep, miiverse support, off-tv support, and gamepad support, aren’t totally the reasons i bought a wii u! nonsensical!
Looking forward to this game as I missed the original. Nice to see they’re putting some new things in it. The message in a bottle Miiverse should be fun.
My my this is pretty interesting.
(Now the only Zelda that needs a proper remake is Majora’s Mask)
I felt that the challenge was perfectly blended in Wind Waker. But I would LOVE a super hard mode. Although sometimes when a game is TOO hard, it kills the fun. What frustrates me to no end is when a game has no different ending or unlockables for completing the hard mode. There’s no excuse for that.
The goal is not the purpose, only the journey is…
Maybe for YOU it’s not the purpose. There should be something to reward the gamer with for beating a game on hard mode. Not the same exact ending.
Aslong as it has big changes withing the game I will be glad…
Yes more challenge keeps it more interesting!
My body is ready!
i havnt played wind waker since it was released on GC. I’m looking forward to playing it on wii u!
I accept this burden with all that I am.
Aonuma’s statements contradict this. But I’m ready for a day when WW Link loses more than 1/4 heart from monsters and bombs
Yeah lol
Sounds great, playing hard mode first.
Wind waker is my fav Zelda Game!!!
After playing Skyward Sword on the dolphin emulator with HD and antialiasing I really want them to release an HD WiiU version. That game looks beautiful in HD maybe even more so than Windwaker. Screenshots: http://i2.minus.com/irY2U23qBZY7m.png
At first the texture looks muddy but if you see it in motion it looks like a painting. Very awesome graphical style but I prefer it to not be used again in the new zelda.
Nintendo should just make a dolphin emulator thats compatible to Wii U. It can’t be that hard, can it? Then they can put all of the Wii and Gamecube games on virtual console in HD.
they are putting there virtual console games on wiiu in hd
But they aren’t Gamecube/Wii games.
If this HD does well we can expect another next year but of what game? Sunshine? Double Dash? Mario Party HD collection? Budokai tenkaichi 3 HD?(I really hope we get it next year don’t care if its for PS4) That GC Animal crossing HD? Those 2 GC Pokemon game packed in one in HD? Sonic Riders HD(Or a this gen version of Gem collection?)
Riders HD????????? Didn’t that game blow
Well Zero G was actually a good game and plus it sold pretty well so hey we don’t know lol
wind waker wiiu looks vastly superior to wind waker on dolphin
What would make me completely lose it:
1. Hard mode available from the start
2. “You’ve beaten Hard mode! Congratulations: Very Hard mode unlocked! Dual-sword wielding unlocked!” :O
I’d like to take this opportunity to wave goodbye to Phil Fish, a guy who took a giant dump all over every single Japanese developer on the planet, and has now rage quit the industry after one person dared to criticise him.
God damn pretentious arsehole indie developers.
Yeah he’s such a twat
YES, I have been awaiting harder levels. DON’T DISAPPOINT ME NINTENDO! The harder it is, the more fun it will be…can’t say the same for others since they might get frustrated and quit.
Wasn’t there an article in the past stating that huge changes to difficulty and game structure weren’t in the works?
I don’t know, I know a rumor was around miiverse about how they were working wind waker and what changes they’ll make like the tingle tuner replaced with the tingle bottle and how the game will be for both hardcore and casual nintendo gamers alike. If I’m seeing this right, this is the only or 2/3 the answer of that rumor. Zelda OoT 3ds did make the game harder specially with the redeads taking more and quicker damage than they did before. If they are combining it with wind waker (second quest, pajamas link) and skyward sword double damage quest (hero mode), we are in for a good fight, which I may add makes me happy to hear reguardless if the ending is the same or not. It makes me feel better to accomplish what was ment to be in the first place. Harder Ganondorf fight, enemies give you more damage, the better the fights, the better the game, period.
Legend of Zelda Wind Waker Master Quest Edition
Now its price is more than respectable
I’m still kinda guttered that they didn’t use the 3DS and/or the gamepad for the tingle tuner the way it was on the gamecube version but oh well, it’s still gonna be a great game.
I’d love it if they either:
a) Finished the two additional dungeons they weren’t able to, or
b) did something more like Master Quest, with different puzzles and layouts (which were usually more challenging).
Otherwise, I can’t really see myself buying this.
wait, there was more dungeons? Q.Q AND NOT INCLUDED???
They weren’t included because those two dungeons were saved and used in a different Zelda game. They declined to tell us which ones, though.
TT~TT bastards…
It took this many years, to make a gamecube port. They had better make this mode very different from original ww, not some “you take twice damage”. They spend soo long to just port a gamecube title. They had better have used all that time to make the game a new experience for veterans. I hope the difficulty setting is available from the beginning.

Republicou isso em Curiosidades na internet.
..All true Zelda fans know that all the Zelda Games already have a hard mode included in the game, it’s called “3heart mode” you play the entire game using only the first three starting hearts you recieve at the begining of each game. When you defeat a Boss fight, you leave the heart container where it drops, and you do not collect enough heart pieces to gain a new heart container slot. Trust me it adds a whole new dimension to playing through all of the games, especially in Some of the older titles (Skyward Sword Hard Mode that you unlock after the first run through the game, is particularly difficult when attempting to obtain the final Shield Upgrade from the the challenge involving defeating all of the games bosses, with only three hearts..) But doesn’t every Zelda Fan aspire to be able to say they have played through all the content, completely finished all of the games? Play them all with only three hearts.. I can’t say I have done this, but it is fun..
i love the idea, ive been wanting them to make the Zelda games with settings like this for a while. Just my only issue would be the system, could you make it for other ones too, not just WiiU.
Wouldn’t happen.
The 3DS traditionally gets its own unique entries in the franchise, ports of old games not included.
If you meant systems outside of Nintendo systems, though, then you’re barking up the wrong Deku Tree.
Zelda isn’t a third party franchise.
