I'm having a similar experience with Zelda: Wind Waker right now.

I played it for like 20 minutes at a friend's house when it first came out. I hated it. It was childish, cartoonish, and the controls were awkward.

I just got Wind Waker HD for free with Mario Cart 8, and it's not that bad. The cell shading looks better in HD, and the controls seem fine now.

There are things I like and dislike. I prefer Zelda games where Link is older, but I like the open-world feel.

Hard to say if my preferences have changed, or if it's better in HD on the Wii U. But overall, I'm enjoying it. Not my favorite Zelda game, but certainly worth playing.
