Wind Waker HD's extra hard Hero Mode detailed

[Administrator]

If you're anything like me you probably love The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker to bits, but had one niggling issue with what's probably the best-looking Zelda game to date: It was too darn easy. Well rest assured that won't be a problem in its HD remake if you select its optional Hero Mode.
As detailed by USGamer, Hero Mode will be available from the start and it contains an extra difficult variant of The Wind Waker in which hearts aren't found in the environment or even by fallen foes. Instead, the only way to heal will be through potions and fairies. Additionally, enemies will deal double damage. Hardcore! Now let's hope Nintendo has finally implemented an option to disable that incessant beeping when you're low on health. A guy can dream, right?
Another new addition is the ability to move and shoot in first-person, unlike in the original game where your feet remained locked in place when aiming. You'll also be able to fine-tune your aim with the Wii U Gamepad's gyroscopic controls.
