The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD now offers Hero Mode, selfies with Picto Box
As the launch of The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD creeps closer, more details about how the game has been changed and what’s been added are being revealed.
The biggest news out of Gamescom is that ‘Hero Mode’ has been added to the game and is available from the start. There’s no need to unlock it like Skyward Sword. Hero Mode makes the game tougher, something that people have been crying out for the it was announced.
New details of the changes made to the Triforce quest have been revealed too. Out of the eight total Triforce pieces, five can now be grabbed directly with the remaining three still need translation by Tingle.
The Picto Box continues to be updated, along with the ability to upload to Miiverse the action can now be reversed and Link can take selfies with up to three expressions. Who says Nintendo doesn’t keep up with the times?
The games first person view has also been expanded, you can now move around fully while in the first person mode and shoot arrows and play the game as if it was a first person shooter. Optionally of course.
The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD will be released in Australia on October 5th.

OMG! Well I was umming and ahhing about whether to get this again as I played through it just over a year ago, but the hero mode is reason enough for me. Excited to try out the other changes, and it does look beautiful in HD!
Oh my god YES! THEY LISTENED! I’m so happy about this 😀 I wonder what hero mode will entail. If it’s anything like skyward sword was I’m super excited. Also, unlocked at the start? YES, saves me an unnecessary playthrough :p
I was planning to get this, since I’ve never played windwaker before, and it’s looking more appealing all the time
