Nintendo acknowledged that it is working on a new Zelda title during its Nintendo Direct conference this morning, but the more exciting news is the full-fledged HD remake of Wind Waker for Wii U coming this Fall.

The game will be playable both on the TV, and off-screen on the Wii U Game Pad, and will have MiiVerse functionality.

In regard to the brand-new Zelda title, series producer Eiji Aonuma said that the mission for the new game is to rethink Zelda's conventions and start fresh.

You can check out the gallery of images from Wind Waker's HD remake below.

Ooh. Although, they've passed over Majora's Mask for the time being. Either way, starting fresh sounds promising.

I was just going to start a Wind Waker play through on my old Wii because it remains the only Zelda game I've never finished. Looks like I will be putting off those plans until Fall :)
by bioshocker Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 09:02 AM

Hell yes! I never got to experience Wind Waker the first time around, and I've always wanted to. I'll finally get my chance this Fall, and in HD! :D

Hate it or love it, the underdog's on top......

My head exploded with all this amazing Nintendo news, it was a great direct to watch, really the first one that made my hear beat faster for a bit lol. Also didn't anyone else get the vibe that the next Zelda game will be open world? They said they were re-thinking the conventions of its' linearility (if that's how it's spelled) so I just assumed HUGE open world Zelda.

Why can't I hold all this excitement?!
by Caleb Albert Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 09:05 AM

Best Nintendo Direct ever!
by The Brain Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 09:07 AM

I think I'm gonna cry after hearing this. This is the best news I've heard in a long time.
by MasteRMerF Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 09:08 AM

Wind Waker is one of my favorite games of all time. Can't believe it's getting an HD remake. I might cry.
by Jack Treese Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 09:09 AM

As someone who completely missed out on Wind Waker during the GameCube era (because I didn't have one back then) I am beyond excited for the HD remake.
by LOZFAN1 Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 09:10 AM

This will be my must have game this summer. August cant come soon enough!!!
by gamerguy54 Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 09:10 AM

just simply awesome..never got to play wind waker, now this will be my perfect chance to do so
by EventualPyre Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 09:11 AM

OMG it's beautiful!! OMG it's soooo beautiful... I want to see more, I need to see an HD source in action. OMG. I think I take back what I said yesterday in that Ni No Kuni is how I want all games to look, Wind Waker Wii U is how I want all games too look! Ok maybe not, both are stunning and I'm soooo happy to see more and more games looking like this, to me realism doesn't capture my imagination in the same way as games styled like this.
by Beastchild29 Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 09:11 AM

Loved this game so much, but I'm not gonna get the wii u just for it
by Zachary Pligge Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 09:12 AM

Wow, great news! Looks like I really need to pick up a Wii U soon.
by Joseph Breen Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 09:14 AM

If it looks anything like that picture, it's going to be beautiful. A pity, though, that I do not own a Wii U.
by nightcrawlerash13 Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 09:16 AM

:D It looks beautiful!!!! I can't wait to hear more about the new Title!!! But my first objective is..Get a Wii U!!!!
by BimboPetejob Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 09:16 AM

Hopefully they can get it out over the summer. Wind Waker is the perfect summer game.
