I think it takes the best elements of the first 2 games (and got rid of those caves - yay!) and just made everything so much more fluid to play.
And Wind Waker HD is as amazing as the game has ever been. It's gorgeous and the graphics just do not age. The animation style is so brilliant and I just love Link's expressions! I mean, compare it to other HD upgrades of previous gen games, and this one looks as if it were a new game.
Definitely glad about this. Pikmin 2 completely changed the focus of the game to dealing with enemies rather than exploring, multitasking and solving puzzles. Some of the enmies were just totally unfair too (anything that exploded, anything that used electricity, and anything that shot you). All of those types of enemies now are either gone, or weakened (electricity no longer instant kills).
Wind Waker HD is a game I plan to get for Christmas or my birthday. I thought about picking it up before then, but Layton 6, Link Between Worlds and possibly Mario & Luigi 4 are calling before then, mainly because I haven't already played those before.
