Wind Waker HD's $49.99 price tag is $10 lower than the $59.99 price currently listed on the websites for retailers like GameStop and Best Buy. It's also $10 lower than the launch price of many of Nintendo's other Wii U titles, including New Super Mario Bros. U and Pikmin 3.A lower price for an HD re-release might make sense on the surface, but there are indications more effort is going into Wind Waker HD than previously indicated.The same Amazon listing mentions "a more challenging difficulty level" as being among the game's features -- something we had not heard about before now. It's possible this could effectively be the Wind Waker version of Master Quest, which was a reworked version of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time that included more difficult dungeons originally released as a bonus alongside Wind Waker on GameCube. More recently, Master Quest was included as part of the Ocarina of Time 3D release on 3DS.IGN has contacted Nintendo for confirmation regarding Wind Waker's price and new difficulty setting but has yet to receive a response.If there is indeed a new difficulty mode for The Wind Waker HD, what sort of changes would you like to see implemented?
