The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD wasn’t a completely internal Nintendo project. HexaDrive also worked on the game, according to the studio’s website.
HexaDrive is well-known for developing remakes and HD versions of games. The company was involved with Okami HD, Rez HD, and Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D.
We should mention that Hexadrive also worked on another recent Wii U release. The studio helped out Platinum Games for the creation of The Wonderful 101, too.
