The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD is “a triple-A new release” for Nintendo. That’s according to Roger Langford, Nintendo UK’s product manager.
With Wind Waker’s launch, Nintendo is hoping to reach the same success as Ocarina of Time 3D obtained on the 3DS.
Langford told MCV:
“It is the perfect time for Zelda fans to discover Wii U. For many Zelda fans, this is the first time that they’ll discover Wind Waker and we’re treating the game as a triple-A new release. Ocarina of Time 3D performed positively on Nintendo 3DS and we’re looking to replicate this success with The Wind Waker HD.”
