Upon the announcement of Wind Waker HD for the Wii U, many were taken aback by the incredibly short window of time the title had for production.
Despite only taking 6 months to remaster the title, the game remains in 1080p, with re-worked graphics and several new supplements to the gameplay itself. In a recent interview with 4Gamer Zelda series Producer Eiji Aonuma backed up the knowledge over the games development.
“It took about 6 months. Development was still difficult. You had to consider the difference in hardware at the time. Additionally there is a technique known as toon shading, which gives the game a very animated look.
