If you've never played the original, you should still play this. It's my #2 favorite Zelda game, and one of my top favorite GameCube games. A lot of people complained about the sailing, but I didn't mind it since I actually like the sailing. I plan on buying this tomorrow since hey, Wind Waker in HD, and so I get more use out of my Wii U. It should keep my busy until Super Mario 3D World.
I highly recommend this. The excuse of "slow boat travel" should not be an excuse anymore since they give you an option to go faster now.
Last I checked this still leaves you at the mercy of the RNG gods, and even then if you're not one of those people who played the original and used no walkthroughs you'd quite possibly miss it.
Still though, looks like a damn amazing remake. If it didn't require buying a Wii-u I'd consider it. And I hate the look of Windwaker.
I can't wait to see what other GC/PS2/XBOX games will be rereleased.
Re-releases happen all the time. Sure, annoying, but if the marketing see's more money they can make from a product that's more than 10 years old, then by goodness they will try to sell it.
Also, we must be lucky, most re-releases tend to be nothing more but some slight texture upgrade and having widescreen available for a game that never was designed for widescreen. This one actually went out of it's way to revamp the graphic engine powering Wind Waker while adding some new mechanics to make the game more interesting.
