I haven't played the WiiU version, but doesn't it also have a sail you can get that doesn't require you to constantly change the wind direction?

    There is. There are a few roms available for the GC version that add the swift sail with identical behavior, but it's only native in the Wii U version.

    And to clarify a comment above, there are also still 8 triforce pieces, but 5 of them are found directly in locations that used to yield only triforce charts, with only 3 still requiring charts to find on the open ocean.

    But the one best feature that I think cannot be replicated is the Wii U Gamepad menu. It was so convenient to simply have your inventory open at all times and hotswap equipment without having to pause.

    Edit: I stand corrected in that last point. If you use a Steam Deck it looks like you're in luck:

    It has been a while and I've only played the WiiU version once, but I've played the GameCube version many times because that's the one I grew up with. There are probably more changes but the only one I remember is the triforce charts since that always feels like you're pulling teeth on the GameCube
