Zelda: Wind Waker HD will offer a number of improvements to the original GameCube title. As revealed by Eiji Aonuma through a Miiverse message, the ship will now always be full of wind, which allows players to move in any direction without using the Wind Waker to change the wind’s direction. This is in addition to the Swift Sail for faster travel.
Wind Waker HD will also include a “nautical chart” – displayed on the GamePad – during sailing segments. Aonuma noted how it “works like a car nav”, making it “much easier to travel to the small islands and salvage points scattered around the great sea.”
You can find Aonuma’s full message below:
