==Changes==
==Differences from original==
===New Features===
{{rewrite-expand|add some small details}}
*The [[Tingle Tuner]] has been replaced with the [[Tingle Bottle]]. Players write messages in it and send them to [[Miiverse]], where they would get responses from other players online. The [[Picto Box]] now has a front facing mode to take self portraits. [[Link]] has several different expressions that can be cycled through with various inputs.
By virtue of being in HD, the game is now in wide screen with a higher resolution and improved textures and lighting. The game overall is brighter with more vibrant colors. While the GameCube controller is not compatible with this game, the Wii U gamepad and pro controller are, which is reflected in the UI on screen and in menus.
*After completing the [[Dragon Roost Cavern]] dungeon, players are able to purchase the [[Swift Sail]] at the [[Auction House]] on [[Windfall Island]]. This item is exclusive to The Wind Waker HD and operates 50% more quickly than the regular sail. The Swift Sail also automatically changes the direction of the wind, which allows the player to sail at full speed all the time without having to do so manually.
*Hard Mode has been added and is available from the beginning. In this mode, Link will recieving twice as much damage from every attack and hearts will not appear anywhere in the overworld. The mode can freely be turned on and off at any point.


===Gameplay===
The menu is always on the gamepad while playing and can be accessed at anytime without pausing and disrupting the flow of the game. Both the gamepad and the pro controller use their built in gyroscopes for aiming, similar to ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D]]''. The entire game is also playable on the gamepad through the Off-TV Play feature.
