Kick Ass.

Go to the minute-forty mark.

Yeeehaaaw! I'm betting on the Triforce Hunt to be redone. It really does look beautiful!

I certainly didn't expect this!

We saw an HD Zelda demo. Of Course Windwaker was sure to follow this is tradition now.
But yeah the Triforce hunt is really the only reason I didn't beat Windwaker. I will say that if they redo that part it be worth it.

UncleBob, broodwars, Oblivion, Aero Leviathan, bustin98 and 9 Guests are viewing this topic.

Nintendo - We are ready.

I'd like to see what the actual characters look like in this version, because the environments seemed to indicate that the cel shading art style was being downplayed. I hope that's not the case, because I actually thought the GameCube footage looked better than their HD environment screenshots. I REALLY hope they've cut that godawful Triforce Scavenger Hunt and replaced it with the two missing dungeons.

Otherwise...meh? (or should I say "shmeeh?"). It's Wind Waker again. I liked Wind Waker on the GameCube, but I can't say I'm thrilled at the prospect of playing it again just yet. Maybe I'll be more interested in the Fall when this thing supposedly releases.

Eh.

I've got original and it plays fine as it is. Why should i plow through the same dungeons all over again?

It's probably targeted at newcomers.

Adrock · « **Reply #8 on:** January 23, 2013, 10:07:41 AM »

I'm glad this is on Wii U instead of 3DS if only for the gorgeous HD visuals. I'd love both GamePad (like Ocarina of Time 3D) and Wii Remote (similar to Twilight Princess) control schemes.

I hope the Triforce hunt is redone. It should really be on islands with mini-dungeons. In any case, I was hoping for a remake which would encourage me to replay the game. Again, I know this is backwards.

UncleBob · « **Reply #9 on:** January 23, 2013, 10:10:59 AM »

I do have to wonder if they'll still have some method of Tingle Tuner in it. I would assume using the GamePad... but what if you're using off-TV play? Perhaps this'll be the first 3DS Connectivity title?

Caterkiller · « **Reply #10 on:** January 23, 2013, 10:58:01 AM »

Hopefully we can change wind direction on the fly. As a matter of fact I have a feeling they will make it so you play the song once and then just use a stick or something initiate the wind direction automatically.

Man, that would eliminate so much unnecessary tedium from that game. One of the big reasons I disliked sailing in Wind Waker was constantly having to stop & play the Song of Winds to change Wind Direction every time I wasn't moving exactly where I wanted to at a given moment.

Adrock · « **Reply #12 on:** January 23, 2013, 11:05:44 AM »

Or swipe the map on the GamePad screen to make the wind go in that direction.

That would be excellent. Streamlining sailing would be a great thing.

UncleBob · « **Reply #14 on:** January 23, 2013, 11:53:21 AM »

I'm a dirty cheat.

A few years ago, I replayed Wind Waker... but I used an Action Replay.
It has a cheat code that allows you to pull up the map, select an area, push a button and warp right to it.

That made the game so much more enjoyable for me.

EasyCure · « **Reply #15 on:** January 23, 2013, 12:47:18 PM »

I usually hate double dipping but.. I am pretty excited for this. If they confirm additional content, like the dungeons supposedly left out of the original release AND confirm that the triforce hunt IS STILL IN THE GAME than this will be a day one purchase.

If it's kept as is but with a graphics over-haul, I'll pass but get it down the line for cheaper, just to have it.

Definitely wasn't expecting that one, but that piece of news made my day. That's my favorite Zelda after OoT, and seeing it in HD and with Miiverse support, the triforce hunt just got better.

Caterkiller · « **Reply #17 on:** January 23, 2013, 01:26:05 PM »

So things that need to be definite do overs:

1 - Controlling wind direction, making it much easier and instantaneous. Like the Iron Boot in OoT3D.

2 - The missing dungeons we were told about after the game was released. if I recall some of those dungeon ideas went into TP, so we should be expecting something completely new...ish.

3 - Tingle Tuner getting an upgrade.

4 - Possibly slightly faster sailing speeds.

5 - Not happening, but I would love at least half of those grape sized islands to get bigger with something to actually explore.

6 - Triforce pieces gathered in a much more fun less tedious way.

ah Tingle Tuner... I hope that is an option for the Gamepad so you can play with others.

Stogi · « **Reply #19 on:** January 23, 2013, 02:00:56 PM »

Why did they do this? Why are they giving something we have been asking for? I blame the Dolphin Emulator.

bustin98 · « **Reply #20 on:** January 23, 2013, 03:04:59 PM »

I haven't been asking for this. I haven't even finished the game the first time around. Too much ocean.

I thought everyone was asking for Majora's Mask.

EasyCure · « **Reply #21 on:** January 23, 2013, 03:13:18 PM »

I never asked for HD WW remake or MM.. ALttP however.... next 3DS zelda maybe?

Traveller · « **Reply #22 on:** January 23, 2013, 03:15:02 PM »

The screens look kinda disappointing at the moment. I am sure it will be better by release though.
The main thing they need to do is add in the dropped content. At least add in a temple for the third jewel/spiritual stone thing.

Only people who like bad Zelda games.

Almost everyone has been asking for HD Wind Waker (the much superior game in every way).

Louieturkey · « **Reply #24 on:** January 23, 2013, 06:03:35 PM »

When I heard this, I was ecstatic. I love this game and the visuals have me saying they are really doing a proper HD upgrade. I have a feeling I will have a Wii U before this year is done now.
