Zelda: Wind Waker HD features enhanced audio
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.
