No it's not. Windwaker HD uses the same engine and code as the original, and therefore is a remaster. A remake would be OoT or MM 3D, which both use a different engine and code from their respective original.  Windwaker HD also took only 6 months to develop. 

So? It's a remake as assets were redone and all, the engine part just tells me how efficient and reliable the original coding is, TP is a straight up HD port.

Technically the same could be said for this, the textures were redone. The meshes remain the same in both cases. The only thing WWHD has that TPHD doesn't is a revamped lighting system with added shading effects. Almost everybody calls WWHD a remaster, not a remake, and it usually is for the reason that the source code and engine are the same as the original.
