Only sometimes? I've seen suckers hate on ALTTP and LA.
WHO DOES THAT? What kind of sick, twisted, ruined soul filled with hatred, bile, malice, and a general lack of love for all that is good and right do you have to have to feel like that?

ITT We learn everyone overreacts.
More like : "Add Maps to the gamepad, add aiming with the bow with the gamepad" ect.
there's a chance. at least, i hope that's what they refer to by 'tune up the overall game experience'

It looks nice but honestly I was expecting the toon shading to be better, maybe it works nicer in motion then in stills.
I quite like the filter they have run the textures through, maybe a little too mushed in places like bricks.

I can't wait to play this! It will be my first time playing Wind Waker.
What about it do you not like? I think it keeps the same cel shaded style enough to resemble the original.
and it looks like bloom is kept to a minimum. Maybe it has too many polygons?

Why do I keep seeing this type of posts? Can't you people even see the screenshots on the OP?

Can't wait to see that "final blow" again in glorious HD.

I personally like both the Dolphin HD version and this HD version.
I know many people expected Dolphin Wind Waker, but I think it looks great (just a little bright and saturated). I get Zelda: Battle Quest vibes from this for some reason, particularly in the models. I do miss the cartoon look, though.

I read the thread tittle and was about to order a Wii U but then I entered here and saw those screenshots.
Only Nintendo would be able to ruin the charm and awesome graphic style of WW, I don't like how the game looks in those screensots, I hope that this is just an early version and that the final game will look more like the original, if not, I think I'll pass unless they add some new content.

whine whine complain criticize a graphics demo never satisfied etc. etc.
didn't miyamoto himself express dismay towards the triforce fetch quests? I can almost bet my avatar that they will do something about that.
I also think they will play with the inventory system & the wind waker.
Other than that. Maybe use the tingle tuner as a default, up the graphics, sprinkle some bonus features and easter eggs, add more interesting islands, add WM+ compatablity, more side quests, and an overhauled soundtrack and there you go!
EDIT: Somewhere in this post I feel like I went from making a realistic prediction to listing my wishlist :S

I am positive there is a quote out there about Wind Waker's missing dungeons making it in to Twilight Princess.
So, no, I doubt they're going to move those back to Wind Waker/make new dungeons.
Tuning the experience probably means more items at your disposal (since you have more buttons) and making sailing faster.

I will pay a full 60 bucks for it...hope they pack it with goodies...
maybe they'll clean up the triforce hunt at least. it wasn't so bad until you had to pay to translate each map and go back out to the overworld again. if it was just the first maps leading to triforce pieces (instead of charts), it would have been just fine.
that makes sense about the missing dungeons when you consider the water temple in tp being kinda light on swimming.
Sadly, tuning the experience will be nothing but making the ocean less big, and/or increasing the speed of the boat indeed.
Remember that the main con Nintendo noted from gamers about TWW was the boring ocean and the time needed to travel throught the islands.
Personnal opinion: Frak those gamers, the slow pace, alone on the ocean, is completely part of the experience!
They tried to change that in Phantom Hourglass, and I think this is still the thing they will try to work on.

Is it me or do the characters look like they're straight out of a 'New Super Mario Bros.' game?
Maybe it'll look better in motion...
Really love the look of the game world though!
Loved the original so this will be a day one purchase for me!

Man, I was happy with this Nintendo Direct when the live stream died on me during the Wonderful 101 trailer. I finally come back to the internet just now to see THIS.
Just wow.
Its like Nintendo has been peeking into my dreams.

That's interesting, because I am pretty sure that TP was the ugliest Zelda of all.

I think it is because of the Dolphin version that we are getting something that looks drastically different than the original.

Apparently, I'm the only one that's actually digging these new graphics. =/

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
I think the original looks better, especially in Dolphin. This doesn't seem like a significant enough improvement in environment polycounts and detail levels and what not. I hope the look will improve a lot by the time it's done, especially in the cel shading if not the detail. But it's obvious it's not a primary effort at all, much like OoT 3D. Of course, I haven't played Wind Waker so I guess I'll get it if I ever get a Wii U, especially if they do improve on the gameplay complaints people have of the original.
Oh well, at least they will try to do more with it than most HD re-releases out there.

There really is a tonne of value in old games - it's titles like this that will convince me (have convinced me?) to buy a Wii U. A new coat of paint on a game I loved is apparently enough reason to buy into a new console.
Only now watching the Direct, already got spoiled because I read emails :|
But yeah I think it will be great, some will be disappointed its not Majoras Mask though. But I think that's 3DS anyway if its going to happen. Wonder if it will have the deleted dungons?
Yeah it has that werid gloss over it. It needed to be flat.

I wouldn't say that's confirmed. Although if it was true they would have most likely announced it. I'm staying hopeful.
Not at all.
I think it was actually 3. There clearly was supposed to a dungeon in place of Jabun just, well, GIVING you Nayru's Pearl.
But it feels like there were other areas the game was missing content, especially in the latter half of the game. Notably, retrieivng both the iron boots and the power bracelet one after hte other at fire mountain and ice ring isle, as well as the ewhole triforce hunt. Feelsl ike there should have been two dungeons there.

The 'tuning up' could be encouraging the player to hunt for the TriForce pieces during the main adventure, rather than right at the end. When I've replayed the game this is how I've done it, and I think this is how it was intended to be carried out, but obviously no one actually does it this way.
I doubt we'll see the lost dungeon(s), but it'd be nice to get some remixed and harder versions a la Master Quest. Bonus fun if it's available from the get go.

Good point. I wonder if they will change some aspects of the story progression.
You know.
Yeah.
why do I have a feeling they will only tune up the graphics
no tingle tuner
no new dungeons
triforce quest stays
maybe a master quest?
oot 3d was pretty bare bones.
I really don't see the need for this release. Playing Wind Waker off a Gamecube using standard RCA cords and a CRT TV looks beautiful. If someone used component cables from their Wii onto an HD TV it also looks good (better than most Wii games actually). I'm happy for the other game announcements but was anyone else a fan of this game around the time it came out like me? Everyone hated on it and now everyone on the internet overrates it like it was the best game ever. There is nothing wrong with appreciating a game later but people should at least be honest with the games actual flaws.
OOT is often regarded as the holy grail of the gaming industry.
WW didn't get the same reception.

That looks terrible.
Master Quest(and a boss rush) would be awesome and it would be even better if they mirrored the game like they did in OoT 3D. They will probablly use the touch screen to make item management and sailing easier along with a few tweaks that will be announced later.

Why the fuck is it not cel-shaded? I will seriously just stick to the GameCube version on dolphin if the final version looks like that, haha
