Its missing the hard lines. Everything looks like a cheap CGI movie when put together.The missing hard lines don't affect the enviorment as that does look great, but the characters look SUPER bad now. Holy crap something is wrong.

Yeah... ummm guys that is still "cel-shading" which in itself is just a marketing term. But with vastly higher poly counts and more realistic lighting that might not be a perfect fit.
Until I see lava I can't decide if it's acceptable or not.
Unless you just mean the stark contrasts between shaded and lighted I'm not sure what you mean with that.

Might as well get ready for that premium price with no foreseeable drop. The only way Nintendo does it.

Got really excited at the title but they've somehow managed to make it look worse judging from those screens.

You what it reminds me of? When students recreate their favourite game (usually Zelda) in the Unreal Engine, but don't know quite enough about the tools to not make it look generic and bland. The textures and geometry are all there, but the 'secret sauce' is missing. I do wonder if this is a project intended for the Zelda team to get an eye for next-gen (well, current-gen) development.

If Nintendo starts porting some of their classics to HD, I might actually have to buy a Wii U! Now bring the OoT remake to the system, too.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
What have they done to the best looking cel-shaded game of all time 
Thick layer of HDR shit everywhere. Criminal.

You could just buy like five regular doughnuts for less than one krispy kreme though...
Is it me or does Link's model look slightly off. It's bit like how the imported model looked in GMod.
Also I doubt they'll remove content because of the storyline. Additional features will be tacked on most likely like the Four Sword dungeon in the GBA remake of aLttP.

I wanted Majora's Mask HD.
I still think Majora's Mask is just going to be on 3DS. Would have prefered HD myself. =(

Dat nuclear bloom, someone over there loved Hitman: Absolution.
Still, goddamn that is gorgeous. Getting closer to considering that Wii U purchase, Nintendo.

Err, dunno...
Wind Waker is probably my favourite recent Zelda and one of the things I loved the most was the exaggerated Cel-Shaded. The remake looks a bit weird, the environments look nice, too much post-procressing perhaps but the characters look weird, I will have to see it in motion.

If its the original but with better graphics. Then I wouldn't play this game if you paid me. The 2nd half of WW is easily the worst gaming experience I've ever had in my life. Unlike other bad games where I could stop playing, I couldn't not finish a Zelda, it was sacriligious (This was before the even worse DS ones).
Now make the 2nd half of the game just as fun as the first half.(add dungeons) Fix sailing. Add warp to every square of the map and add some content in the empty ocean then this would easily be the best Zelda game since lttp.

this game is NOT canon
completely ignoring Tetra hanging out with Link on Windfall being equally weird

Cel-Shading is just a marketing term? THIS is Cel Shaded? lol. No, it's not.
It feels like they used INSANE lighting settings to get the strong light and the extremely hard shadows.

I'm actually glad it's not just literally Wind Waker in 1080p.

My only concern is that if the new Zelda in development (not WWHD) is going to look like this:
or like this:
or like this:
Pretty much this, hopefully it is early.
Oh... wow. This screen actually looks pretty damn awesome. If that's how it manages to look ingame than we have a winner right here.
But the shadows and lighting all look too clean so I have my doubts.
If that screenshot is the actual render resolution, it won't be hard to achieve that.

Something looks off about it. Need to see it in motion.
Wind Waker in Dolphin probably colored my expectations a certain way.

I'm hoping they have the original game remade, and then a "Master Quest" of sorts that evens out the Triforce quest at the end and maybe throws in 2 extra dungeons or something.
Either way, this looks fantastic and I'd be happy just to play WW in HD.

It would have benefited more than WW, but I guess we will get that one on 3DS.I wanted Majora's Mask HD.

Me too we have dolphin for that so why would people want it? This looks like it could be a Pixar movie and this is exactly what I expect Nintendo HD games to look like.
