The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD will be available for Wii U on October 4, 2013 across the UK and Europe, Nintendo has confirmed.
The HD update was shown again during the Nintendo Direct stream today, in which Nintendo president Satoru Iwata detailed some of the changes Nintendo has made to the original game.

Wind Waker HD will feature a "retuning" of the collection event which happens during the last half of the game, faster sailing and quicker Wind Waker actions, Iwata said.
"With these adjustments I hope that you can enjoy the game all the way to the end without losing your sense or immersion."
Another of the new features is an update to the Tingle Tuner, which allowed the GameCube version of the title to connect to GBAs for assisted play.
A new item called 'Tingle Bottle' allows players to interact with the Miiverse community from within the game. Messages can be typed or drawn, put in a bottle and then thrown into the sea. They'll then appear in other players' games.
