Wind Waker was the only major 3D Zelda I was not able to play through. Not because it was too difficult or boring. It was a time, I was not interested in Zelda that much. It was still the Importance of Ocarina of Time, made it hard for me to go through another Adventure. It was the release of Twilight Princes that made my return to the Series as a Fan.
In the past, I've sold my GameCube including Wind Waker. A few years ago, I've bought a used copy of The Wind Waker (got the GameCube equipment for my Wii) but I still did not managed it to play through the whole game.
So, enough Chitchat of the Past, I've bought Wind Waker HD, and played through the complete game. It is a Zelda with the Focus on exploration. I like that part. The Great See is an awesome "Open World Like" aspect and it was fun to sail through the various islands. I enjoyed it even more compared to the Dungeons. The few Dungeons in the Game, especially the last 2 Dungeons with Medli and Makar, were frustrating. I simply don't like the Design. Boss Fights were quite fun.
Overall, it still was a great Voyage. I like the Artstyle, the Soundtrack and the fight against Ganondorf at the Finale is one of the most epic in Zelda History (not when it comes to difficult, because it really wasn't a challenge). But I was missing something. I can't describe what it was, but I was overthinking my opinion about Skyward Sword. I mean, I liked Skyward Sword before may playthrough of Wind Waker HD, but I did not valued the Game that much as I did now.
I really can't tell you guys, why Skyward Sword was the better experience for me. But there is that little "Something" I can't explain. I really don't like the blurry Artstyle that much in Skyward Sword. But I think it is the atmosphere of Skyward Sword, the Story and the Dungeon Design that really impressed me (maybe even more as Twilight Princess).
It took me a playthrough of Wind Waker HD to realize that Skyward Sword was an awesome experience for me. With this opinion I may be pretty lonely here at Zelda Dungeon, but, did someone feel the same way? Anyway. Every comment is welcome
