The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD

Date played: June 1st
Platform: Wii U
Session fun rating: 6/10

Nintendo had a stroke of genius when they came up with a promotion that grants users a free downloaded game when they bought Mario Kart 8. The choices were Wii Party U, New Super Mario Bros U, Pikmin 3 and Wind Waker HD. I already own and beat Mario and Pikmin and Wii Party U doesn't interest me, so I went with the Zelda game. I played this one back when it first released on the Gamecube and absolutely loved it. It was my favorite in the series until I played A Link Between Worlds earlier this year.

I only wanted to take a quick look at the game and only played it for a few minutes. It does look amazing though, the high resolution, beautiful lighting effects and timeless animation make it very easy on the eyes. I'm definitely going to play it sometime.
