Nintendo Feels Zelda: The Wind Waker HD is a Wii U System Seller on Nintendo gaming news, videos and discussion

Nintendo is confident that The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD will be a system seller during this holiday season.

It's a very important few months for Nintendo, with the Wii U in desperate need to regain momentum as Sony and Microsoft launch their latest hardware offerings. One of the contenders for the coming months is the HD, Wii U remake of the critically acclaimed GameCube Zelda tale, The Wind Waker. The game was rated a solid gold 9/10 score in our review.

Speaking to MVC, Nintendo product manager Roger Langford feels that it's the "perfect time" for fans of the franchise to discover the Wii U, and that Nintendo are treating the game as a "triple-A new release" rather than a straight-forward re-release.

Langford hopes that the game will have the same success that Ocarina of Time 3D has had on the Nintendo 3DS.

Great game for sure but there is a heck of a lot of great new games as well as the new hardware that are coming out creating a massive battle to be noticed! I hope it does make a difference though and gets some more WiiU's into people's hands! I love the system! 

When in doubt....Whip it out!

I hope it'll have a lot of success too, not just for Nintendo's sake but also because more people need to experience this amazing game.

It is a great game no doubt...but pinning their hopes on a game that came out 10 years ago for a similar fated console doesnt to me seem like a massive system seller. The masses won't be too swayed by this and there are too many still sitting on the fence about the Wii U.

Great game indeed but if they really want the system to sell well then they need a landmark game. If anything the 3DS will outsell the Wii U 10:1 this holiday season simply because of Pokemon. I bet the 2DS will outstrip the Wii U by 5:1!
