The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD

Wind Waker is one of the series' most adored games, proving that a brilliant visual can always outperform realism. Set in a version of Hyrule long buried by a massive body of water, the last remnants of civilisation live on islands dotting the ocean. You'll cross the canals with the help of a magical talking boat, experience some of the series' finest dungeons, and discover the hidden connections between its plot and the Ocarina of Time.

Several late-game padding keeps it from ranking higher on this list, although most of it is alleviated by some useful improvements and tweaks in the Wii U's HD port. Wind Waker, on the other hand, was the greatest 3D Zelda game in the series' 14-year existence.
