Season 9 Episode 12

This week I’m going to talk about the changes between The Wind Waker, and The Wind Waker HD. I’ve covered some of these through the season – but I’m hoping to provide a conscience, and fuller rundown of the differences between the two versions of the game here – including talking about some things I didn’t get to in the main season proper; and providing some of my opinions on these changes.
