Aonuma shares Miiverse messages on The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds/Wind Waker HD
Aonuma on The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
One more thing, new information about The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds was also revealed in this Nintendo Direct.
We talked about how Link will be travelling between two worlds. And as you can see from the video, Link’s ability to transform into a drawing will play a huge role in the game.
The presence of two worlds like light and dark have been a recurring theme in Zelda games in the past, and this time, a kingdom exists in the other world in the way Hyrule exists in the main world. The story will revolve around the events that will unfold in that kingdom, and I think you’ll have fun experiencing the game’s distinctive world that is like no other in the series.
I also have a screenshot to show you today.
This shows the item shop that are common in Zelda games, and the character standing next to Link is looking very suspicious.
We’ll be talking about this character at a later time, but for now take a closer look at the items that are on sale. There’s the bow and arrow, the boomerang and the hookshot that are all familiar to the series.
If you noticed something strange with this picture, you’re quite the Zelda fanatic!
That’s right, shops in the past Zelda games sold things that would run out once you use them like arrows and bombs, items that needed replenishing. They have never sold an item that doesn’t go away after each use like the boomerang or the hookshot.
This shop is a very important place in this game, and we hope to talk more about it soon. Until then, I hope you’ll use your imagination wondering what this shop is all about.

Aonuma on The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD
Hello, members of the Zelda Community! This is Eiji Aonuma of Nintendo. It’s great to be posting here again.
In the Nintendo Direct video that aired today, we announced new information on the soon to be released The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD. I would like to take this opportunity to talk about things that we weren’t able to include in the announcement.
The Nintendo Direct video showed a glimpse of the Swift Sail (red sail) that allows the ship to go faster. Those of you who played the original may have noticed, but not only will this sail make the ship go faster, but it will always be full of wind, meaning you’re now able to control the ship to any direction you want, without having to use the Wind Waker to change direction of the wind.
…Some of you may wonder whether this can still be called a sailing ship, but along with this sail and the nautical chart displayed on the Wii U GamePad that works like a car nav, it’s now become much easier to travel to the small islands and salvage points scattered around the great sea. Even if you struggled with sea exploration in the original, I think you’ll have a blast exploring the great sea once more.
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD will launch this October.
The always energetic Toon Link and the great, open sea is waiting for all of you to set sail. Thank you!
Link, Link
