The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD Limited Ganondorf Edition

lovely set this seller sold it with the game disc unlike a skyward sword set i recently purchased and the little ornament is well cool

This game brought me back to my childhood and the graphic design is really amazing.

Great seller, amazing item. Although I'll never open it I assume it's an amazing figure

This is a joy to play and it's a timeless classic. The expressions on the faces are wonderful and it's so full of humour and can be enjoyed by all ages. I'm only part way through it and enjoying playing it again (when i can get my son off it), but my grandchildren also adore it and it's brand new to them. It's a real breath of fresh air compared to mainstream gaming. and the Ganondorf figure is now in my son's collection, pride of place alongside his guild wars. We went for this version as opposed to buying the console with the downloadable game as we prefer having the physical game, and the game and figure seemed a fair price against other limited collections.

Fantastic game, and the updated visuals really bring the game to life!The Ganon figure is exceptionally well made and the detailing is superb! My only qualm is the figure is quite small maybe 3/4 the height of the game case. Other than that it was fantastic!

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Wii U Exclusive Ganondorf Limited EditionWhat's in the BOXThe Legend of Zelda:The Wind Waker HD X1The Legend of Zelda Artwork x1Ganondorf Figurine x1The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD,is a Wii U Remake it is also a video game in The Legend of Zelda series for the Wii U. Developed by Nintendo EAD, it is a remake of the 2003 Nintendo GameCube game The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.The Wind Waker HD expands on the original with updated 1080p-resolution graphics,an alternative lighting engine, as well as new gameplay features and modifications. The release of the game marks the ten-year anniversary of the international release of the original, and the first game in The Legend of Zelda series released on the Wii U.The gameplay is largely the same as the original version of The Wind Waker on the GameCube. However, the game offers graphical modifications and various new features from the original.The game is updated with 1080p high-definition graphics. The Mysterious Castle has more of a sepia tint, rather than black and white.The Wii U GamePad's touchscreen serves as a map and inventory, eliminating the need to toggle between gameplay and the menu interface. Players will be able to use motion controls to control the Wind Waker. Some weapons, like the bow, can be aimed using the GamePad's gyroscope, as in Ocarina of Time 3D. The game offers Off-TV Play which enables the player to play the game solely on the Wii U gamepad. The game can also be played on the Wii U Pro Controller, a controller similar to the one used in the original game.The Tingle Tuner item (which utilized the Game Boy Advance as a peripheral to the GameCube) in the original has been replaced with an item called the Tingle Bottle. The Tingle Bottle will be used to send messages to the game's Miiverse community if players are in need of help; players then receive replies containing hints as to current objectives. Using the Picto Box item in the game, players will be able to take screenshots, including self-portraits, switching between happy, sad, and surprised facial expressions for Link. They can then post these screenshots to Miiverse for other players to see them.The developers tuned the gameplay to make it less tedious. After completing the Dragon Roost Cavern dungeon, players are able to purchase the Swift Sail at the Auction House on Windfall Island. This red sail operates 50% more quickly than the regular sail. The Swift Sail automatically includes wind so the player can sail at full speed all the time, without changing the direction of the wind. This is intended to make sailing to small islands and salvage points more enjoyable. A shorter crane will speed up time digging for treasure. Animations such as those for the grappling hook are quicker.The game features a streamlined version of the Triforce Quest, a controversial aspect of the original game. Whereas in the original game players needed to collect a Triforce Chart for each shard of the Triforce of Courage, in the remake the player will be able to collect five Triforce of Courage shards directly from treasure chests and will only need three Triforce Charts to find the shards that are hidden beneath the Great Sea. Additionally, the player will start out with the ability to carry 500 rupees instead of 200 a 300% increase.A New mode has been added to the Wind Waker HD Hero Mode, a modified difficulty setting first featured in the 2011's Wii Game The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Hero Mode is available from the very start in the remake. In this mode there are certain differences in gameplay. Enemies do twice the regular damage and hearts will not appear anywhere in the game world (forcing players to use potions to heal).So it is not initially requiring the player to complete Normal Mode like in other titles of the series. It can also be toggled on or off at any point before entering the game.In a Nintendo Direct presentation released on January 23, 2013, a high-definition remake of The Wind Waker was announced for the Wii U, then slated for release in the fall of 2013. The remake came about as the development team experimented with art styles for the next main Zelda title, also in development for Wii U. HD remakes of the later Zelda games in the series, like Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword, were also tested during the planning stages, but the development team considered The Wind Waker's visuals to be the most improved. The music was updated by Kenta Nagata, Hajime Wakai, Asuka Hayazaki and Atsuko Asahi. While the game was developed in-house at EAD, high-resolution textures were produced with the help of a few external companies.A limited-edition console bundle that combines both a digital version of game and the Deluxe Wii U console was released on September 20, 2013 in North America. The black console features The Legend of Zelda styling; the GamePad include gold lettering, a gold Hyrule Crest, and gold symbols from The Wind Waker HD. A redemption code for a digital copy of The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia, which details the history and artwork of the series, was also included. GameStop offers a special edition copy of the game bundled with a Ganondorf figurine.The Wind Waker HD will be released in Japan on September 26, 2013, in Europe on October 4, 2013, and in Australia on October 5, 2013.The game was launched on the Nintendo eShop on September 20, 2013, and will be released at retail on October 4, 2013 in North America, with a gold foil package. Reggie Fils-Aime denied the early digital release as being part of any policy shift:"We saw an opportunity given the value change to make sure we had a strong product offering for Zelda loyalists, and to get them firmly in the Wii U franchise. This is not a policy change or some grand signal by launching the digital version a few days earlier than the physical version."The game, in both physical and digital varieties, will retail for $49.99 in North America, $10 less expensive than typical Wii U releases.In an early preview, IGN noted improved dynamic lighting and shading in the game's graphics engine. However, a later preview noted qualms about the graphic style, stating "The new HD art and bloom lighting look impressive, but they subtract some of the cel-shaded magic that made Wind Waker feel like a playable cartoon." Metro noted better shading, resulting in a "painterly quality", although it spotted some "rough edges" with some textures. In its preview, IGN noted significant differences from the original, saying the remake is "much better, smoother, and feels as capable as a brand new game.The Wind Waker HD has received mostly positive acclaim across the web. Aggregating review websites GameRankings and Metacritic rounded the game's reception as 91.02/100% and 90/100 respectively.Jose Otero of IGN rated the final game a 9.8 out of 10, stating that the HD version "offers the definitive way to experience a story that's both charming and elegant". Martin Gaston of GameSpot was slightly more critical in assigning a 8.0 out of 10, praising the "undeniably beautiful adaptation" but criticizing the lack of change in the final half of the game.The game's first week sales in Japan were 30,000 physical copies.

I bought this for my boyfriend for Christmas and he was extremely happy with the game and the figure. He is a big fan of Zelda so was pleased to get it.
