Nintendo’s announcement for The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD Limited Edition listed a MSRP of $54.99. However, GameStop ended up charging consumers $59.99.

Some fans were curious about the discrepancy, and therefore decided to write in to the retailer’s customer service center for answers. GameStop did respond, and noted that its pricing is “based on many factors including current demand, features and availability.” While it’s true that MSRP usually indicates pricing, the message indicated that this isn’t always so.

The message in full states:

Zelda: Wind Waker HD’s updated visuals aren’t the only presentation aspect that has been reworked. It seems that Nintendo has enhanced the game’s audio as well, making subtle changes to some of the game’s sound effects and in some cases, reworking entire pieces of music.

First, listen to the following sound effect comparisons – first is the original GameCube version, and then the HD version:


As you’ve noticed by this point, the opening chests jingle is renewed, along with the jungle for changing the wind direction. The Gohdan clip as well as the percussion in the Forsaken Fortress track also contain small differences.

Arguably the biggest change concerns the file select/fairy fountain theme. Over at the Japanese Wind Waker HD site, select “sound 3” and you’ll be able to hear the difference.
