That leads to the Forsaken Fortress, a talking boat called the King of Red Lions and a Great Sea dotted with islands. Dragon Roost Island, Forest Haven and the Tower of the Gods hold early challenges, and a flooded Hyrule waits beneath the waves. The Wind Waker baton lets Link change the wind, summon cyclones and control others with songs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:story --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-story\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat the HD version changes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNintendo released The Wind Waker HD in 2013 with new lighting and a widescreen HD picture on top of the original art style. Some changes speed things up. The Swift Sail, bought at the Auction House on Windfall Island, makes the boat much faster and keeps the wind at your back. The late-game Triforce hunt needs fewer charts, and Hero Mode, where enemies hit twice as hard and hearts do not drop, is available from the start. The GamePad shows your items and map, so swapping gear no longer stops the action.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:story --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-story\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing a used Wind Waker HD disc\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis disc needs a Wii U console and plays with the Wii U GamePad or a Wii U Pro Controller, and it supports off-TV play on the GamePad screen.
