What does "The Yellow Debate" mean?

You can retain the original look while making outside areas a little more detailed. Water being a flat surface with a blue tiled texture at 50% alpha should be considered a crime nowadays. And some secondary characters still look almost directly taken from the N64 game.

Subjective opinions. Like in this thread, some people think it looks great, and some think it looks bad. Reviews will also reflect that, since each review is a subjective opinion on par with anyone posting on neogaf for example.

+ impressive 3d effect
+ pretty light effects
+ loveable characters (complete with funny facial expressions?)
Sound
+ familiar (grandiose) themes
+ very rich in variety
+ typical Zelda jingles and sound effects
Pros and Cons
+ long playtime
+ many side quests
+ varied dungeons and boss battles
+ perfect use of the touch screen
+ partial motion control (camera)
+ contains the unlockable master quest
+ the prettiest 3DS game to date (lol)
Bottom Line
brilliant remake of one of the most brilliant games of all time(TM)
Why would you do that?

Do you think that Master Quest can be unlocked by naming yourself ZELDA, similar to Zelda 1? If not, I don't care. I haven't played OoT in a little over a year, so I'm totally itching to play it.
I sincerely can't wait for this. That video actually made MQ look extremely crazy. It'll be like playing OoT fresh again, but on the 3DS.
I never actually played Master Quest past dungeon 2.khan said:

Wonder if this is what the cartridge will look like?

Nintendo released a screenshot that looked similar to one of the places Link goes to in the game's title-screen intro, and it had lots of yellow on it, as opposed to what people call the "dark, moody" intro of the N64 game, causing lots of controversy "the game's too bright!" "Why's it all yellow?!" "I'm never buying the game now!". Of course, it turns out that screenshot wasn't from the intro, and it was taken at sunrise when everything was given a yellow cast...Neuromancer said:

It also has a lot more red tint, and blue tint, and green tint and...Sage00 said:
It's just plain more saturated than the original.
Why would you do that?

I just thought about something.
I really want to see
falling at the end of the game. For some reason, I think it'll look really cool on the 3DS.

Because it will look cool! Can't wait to see this game in 3D. Rayman looked good in 3D, can't imagine how much better this will look with it.
I'm not gonna lie. I actually like the more colorful approach as it makes it feel fresh to me as we see Hyrule in a whole new way while remaining the same on 98% of things. I understand some people thinks it's going to change the mood of the game, but I think I like the new one more in the Jabu Jabu pic.Sage00 said:What? No, the entire game definitely has a more yellow tint than the original, and certain areas have been made a lot brighter than they were previously (outside Jabu Jabu for example).
I'm sure most of the adult locations will still be dreary and Hyrule will still feel creepy as hell, but I look at every other Zelda game and see a lot more color (even Majora's Mask) while still having that certain mood in areas so I'm sure OoT will be fine.
For all I know, they might have wanted OoT to look this colorful in the first place. The change between Majora's Mask and OoT was huge.
Edit: I'm quite medicated and only had 3 hours of sleep so sorry if some parts don't make sense. I'll put this disclaimer up just in case.

My problem with the yellow filter is it almost seems like they applied it to everything. Including the water. Blue+yellow=green. Hence the "radioactive water" or "neon green water" comments

The last shot in the video of the sun setting = :-)
God I can't wait for this, I just know it will render the Activity Log on the 3DS useless, as it will for the rest of time read:
Longest Played Title - OOT
Most Played Title - OOT
Highest Average Playtime - OOT
Heh.
Still have Spirit Tracks unplayed. Gonna start it tonight as the warm up to this beauty!

It's one of my favourite games ever made, remade, in 3D and portable.
I'm going to play the shit out of it, multiple run-throughs for sure.
It has nothing to do with having narrow horizons, I have 60+ DS games and 5 3DS games already patner
New preview video that contains lots of gameplay from throughout different points in the game. For everyone complaining about the graphics and "yellow filter" watch this video. The new lighting effects and very sharp textures really make the game look great. Also everything looks very fluid 30fps or whatever. As for the "yellow filter" check out the sections in the village, the sky is the exact same dull grey color as the original. The boss cave has more glow to it but its a green/blue-ish mood, definitely not yellow. Also check out the temple of time, looks great and no "yellow-filter" there. I think the game is gonna be really sharp. The video might have some spoiler elements if you'd rather relive some scenes yourself instead of seeing it now, so beware.

Holy shit, the opening sequence with Navi is uncannily perfect for 3D. It's as if they knew they'd be doing a 3D remake one day. :lol

I like how Ganon has individual fingers now. I wish they would have given ALL models that kind of treatment. Overall though, the game ain't looking bad at all.

I don't remember that. But you're likely right actually, because then it'd make sense that he is still the only one with individual fingers, lol.Chet Rippo said:

Speaking of which, didn't the jewel on the Master Sword used to be bigger? They got some polishing going on while we are waiting for the damn thing to come out.
EDIT: Actually, the whole sword looks much better than it did in some of the older screens.

The gaming press is in desperate need of 3DS capture devices. No more off-screen stuff.
I sort of wish the video showed the grown-up Link's market. But I also sort of want it to be a surprise.

Seriously, and Nintendo's failure to provide this irks me. It basically means that only media released by the developers themselves will ever look good. Everything else will be off cam shakey shit. Nintendo should of had this covered, if they cared.

Yea, seriously. I heard mid-April was the original rumored date for the capture devices, but obviously that's not the case. Really not looking forward to having to use cam footage for this game when it comes in.
