Wind Waker struck a divide in the Zelda community with it's cell shaded graphics. But does giving it a modern refresh and some tweaks enough to patch some of that damage? We'll find out in my Legend of Zelda Wind Waker HD review! It's Link and pirates! What's not to like? Everything looks like a charming cartoon, and this game has aged extremely well.

Let me know what you thought about my Zelda Wind Waker review somewhere below!

If you could sail anywhere in the world, where would you sail to and from?

I really wish Nintendo would port this to Switch. Being able to play this anywhere would be absolute bliss.

Kinda weird growing up when I did because I didn’t really know Nintendo much as a kid and when I found out about Wind Waker I just thought it looked cool. It’s sorta really hard to believe people cared about just the graphics that much, but I guess it would be weird if the next Animal Crossing looked like Fallout or something drastic like that.

WindWaker is my ALL TIME favorite game. I grew up playing it and it was the only game i had for the first half of my childhood, so the nostalgia is there to the max! Nintendo please port it to the switch.

[ShigKirby]

Honestly Wind Waker is absolutely delightful. If there is any Zelda game I would revisit over and over again it would be Wind Waker. The items, explorations, side quests, beautiful cell shaded art style, gorgeous music, fluid combat, clever puzzles and funny characters are infectious.

The HD additions make this personally not just my favorite of the Zelda remasters but of any game updated. The streamlining saves time, makes everything smoother and obviously the graphics/performance updates make the presentation pop with so much life.

Going from the skeptical reception of its direction when it was announced, I can honestly say Wind Waker is an essential play for any Zelda fan and I think it's world was for many years the most fleshed out Zelda has seen, even if all rewards aren't super necessary or the game doesn't have quite as many dungeons despite the many extra challenges found throughout the world. It's great to see Jirard has finally got around to it and remind me of my love for this charming adventure.

As the legendary PBG said: *"ADVENTURE!!!

Jirard getting PAID.
Glad you got a Blue Apron sponsor.
Props to the Beardman.

Wind Waker is one of my all-time favorites. With how much Jirard loves pirates AND Zelda, I'm amazed it took him this long to play it.

[Jambunctious]

You could say... *He went overboard on the puns...*

"Work on a tan, my dude."

Ganondorf: "Bro, I grew up in a desert. I'd have to set myself on fire to get any darker."

Valoo: "Did someone say

I was a big fan of Zelda games when I was younger, (Link's Awakening was the first game I remember beating) but when Windwaker initially came out I was one of the people that hated the art direction. Years later, when it got an HD remake on the Wii U it instantly became my favorite LOZ game, and I hate the negative view I gave it before. Love this game! Glad you had a good time Jirard!

[SalsaSeth]

As I continue to watch Jirard, I become more and more impressed with how good his writing can be, and how well he's able to articulate his opinion, but also describe the objectivity of a game in such a detailed way.

[wuebboltc]

"Link spends boatloads of this game sailing around on his little ship...."

I see what you did there....

[HandmadeGoose]

oh no he mentioned the cartoon, well if no one else is going to do this then I have to right? EXCUUUUSE ME PRINCESS

[MysteriousJojo]

Welcome to Episode 29, I think, I’m too lazy to go back and check, of me asking Jirard to complete Yakuza 0.

Please complete Yakuza 0.

[Xinsama]

Mate, thank you so much for making this. Someone recommended your channel to me and I just thought I'd have a quick scroll through your videos when I saw this. Wind Waker is one of my favourite games of all time, and I found it super hard to pause or quit watching until the end of your video. I loved everything you said, I found you really funny and engaging, and your critique was thorough and fair. You've gotten me hooked, and I'm definitely going to watch more of your stuff!

[Halrondo]

Saw the thumbnail: instant click. So hyped for this.

[ChosenOne]

This game's beautiful art style is what got me into Zelda in the first place. I would love to see this re-released on the switch as I never bought a Wii U.

[Truekidorange]

Honestly I did tear up a bit when you rated this Complete It. It was the first game I finished and it seemed like such an impossible yet cathartic experience to sit through the end credits of the game after taking two years from the age of 8 to 10 to play through the entire story. This admiration for the game coupled with the fact that I don't know the last time you ranked a game so high on The Completionist scale really hit me for some reason. Really glad you finally decided to play this one, thanks for your amazing content! Keep up the good work!

[YoungAvJoe]

You don't understand how long I have waited for Jirad to complete this game! Your gonna love this one.😀
