I'm glad to hear that Wind Waker HD has fan support like this. It was always a bummer to me that the best versions of Wind Waker and Skyward Sword were trapped on the Wii U, given the incredible preservation that Dolphin provides for their original versions.

Edit: I own a Wii U, I'm not trying to be a hater. For years, it really was the ultimate Zelda box.






I found the Wii U joystick too springy to win OOT or even play much of Twilight Princess. I was able to compensate for the springiness until the penultimate fight with Ganondorf at the top of the castle in OOT, at which point it got too annoying and I just gave up, but with Twilight Princess, I hit that threshold in the fire temple's boss fight. Possibly even just a miniboss.

It's possible I just had a Wii U with an unusually tight joystick or something.

Does cemu not provide comparable preservation for the HD versions? I played through both WW:HD and TP:HD on my Steam Deck using cemu and found it a great experience.


I slightly disagree, but only because Skyward Sword HD on the Switch is a pretty big improvement.

The Wii U was indeed a fantastic Zelda box though.
