I played this on the GameCube when it first came out, and it was the first Zelda game I ever beat. I'd played many others, but tended to get bored before finishing them. With Windwaker, I was engaged right to the end.
Windwaker HD repairs some of the less-fun aspects of the original game, such as replacing some "Triumph Fork" maps with the related pieces to reduce sailing time. It also gives you a fast sail that optimizes travel over the ocean, reducing the sometimes frustrating sail/change wind direction/sail cycles from the original game.
And gives the entire game a good High Definition polish.
This is perhaps my favorite Gannondorf, an introspective bad guy with a wistful monologue that makes him more than just a generic evil bad guy to defeat. His speech at the end of the game is a great example of making a relatable, but still evil, bad guy.
Sailing over the oceans, to me, was always a fun aspect of the game. A relaxing breather between islands and a clever way to hide disk data loading time; I'm glad the game found a way to clean up and optimize this aspect without ditching it too completely.

The multiplayer was kind of fun, for a little bit, but its... more Kanto. I can only enjoy so much Kanto, and this? This was too much Kanto. I got so bored, I couldn't even get to the second gym. It honest to god didn't feel worth my time at all. I'd rather just play Leaf Green.

Story was good. Concept was good. Played this on the non-VR version without knowing what it was -- it promised a Nikola Tesla murdery mystery for $5 -- how could I refuse? At any rate, I could see it being a lot more effective in VR, but even so the long stretches where not a lot happens and the ending that just kinda ends left me sour on it. If the promise of a Nikola Tesla murder mystery is as enticing to you as it is for me, probably would still recommend. And I do think that this kind of thing could work a lot better with some tweaks.
