Fight the power, Aonuma!

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD almost faced internal pushback because it was believed internally that people did not like "that Link."
Eiji Aonuma stated in a recent interview that when he began trying to move forward with Wind Waker HD, there was "a lot of pushback," because it was believed that fans of the series didn't like the young, cel-shaded version of Link. After speaking with U.S. counterparts, that idea was put to rest.
Additionally, Aonuma said that Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword were also tested for high definition remakes. However, the results of testing those games in HD "weren't really surprising," and Wind Waker stood out as the title that benefited most from the HD treatment.

I still going to buy this. When it's a little discounted. BUT
What really worries me is that I was hoping (and I'm not alone in this, I'm sure) that Gamecube games would be released at some point on the Wii U Virtual Console. This HD re-release seems to make this somewhat unlikely. And what in the WORLD is the reason that they're limiting Wii U VC to only NES and SNES?

GBA games are coming to Wii U later this year, and it was confirmed long ago that GameCube games are as well (I think they said N64 games will be soon too).

I remember hearing about this a few months back, but wasn't sure if it was true or not. I also remember being very upset by it because I had heard that this meant GBA games were unlikely to be released on 3DS.
If true, that would be a baffling decision in my books.

Why would it? Nintendo has been releasing NES and SNES games on the 3DS Virtual Console even though some of the same games are on the Wii and Wii U Virtual Console. I'd imagine they'll be releasing GBA games on the 3DS as well.
You mean besides the fact that for over 2 years they have been saying GBA games would NOT be coming to 3DS, and have NEVER indicated they have changed their stance on that?
Iwata confirmed that Nintendo has no idea what the differences between consoles and handhelds are back at a January Nintendo
Direct.

thats called classic nintendo PRYou mean besides the fact that for over 2 years they have been saying GBA games would NOT be coming to 3DS, and have NEVER indicated they have changed their stance on that?
Except that we've been over and over this and Nintendo NEVER said that. Ever.
"no plans" does not mean "not happening". By any definition.
I don't know if I could disagree more with any statement (huge exaggeration). Majora's Mask was one of the best games on the N64, and is one of the best Zeldas.*cough* Majora's Mask 3D *cough*
Re-make the worst 3D Zelda? Great idea : ::) :
If this is the case, wouldn't that make it a good candidate for a remake, so that they can fix the game's issues and make it better?*cough* Majora's Mask 3D *cough*

But that would require actually remaking the game whereas Wind Waker is mostly just (lazy) uprezzing and a bit of GamePad functionality.
