Nice. This is the perfect time to add the stuff they cut in the gamecube version. This is what is going to sell Wii U's.
I thought the next Zelda game though was coming to 3DS? Did that get scrapped?

I really hope they put in the Nayru's Pearl dungeon.
And then some dungeons on the islands you visit to collect the Triforce pieces.
And then a few hundred more because you can never have enough dungeons.
What the hell did they do to it?
Dang that looks bad. What's up with that gross filter? It looked fine as it did without that shiny stuff. All they had to do is update it with sharper textures and cleaner cell shading. This isn't true to the style of the original at all.
The models also look rounded as opposed to 'flat' like in the original. Weeeeeeird.
smh

Always kind of figured that one of the most fantastic things about Wind Waker was that it wouldn't need something like this ten years down the line. Majora's Mask actually would have excited me though.
I'm just gonna go brood over there...

This is a remake, the next 3DS Zelda will be almost surely brand new, so why should they have scrapped it?

New version really does look like a college kid's Unreal tech demo.
Really need to see actual footage before I can really judge. I'm buying it anyways of course.

I don't think people are hating on the bloom lighting (though there is a bit much of it), it's the major change to the way the characters are presented. Just look at the shading on link in the above Dolphin shot vs. WiiU HD pics... just a really strange decision.

See now you're just underscoring how bad the remake looks.
They've complete removed the bold colour transitions and shading ): Ugh bloom. Why?
It looks like a completely different game rather than a remake.
I'm still going to buy it anyway

Cannot bloody wait. Changed it up to have that tf2 feel. Still my favourite princess Zelda as well.

You know what this game really needs? once you've used the command melody in the late game dungeons you should be able to instantly swap between the characters without having to play the bloody thing over and over, TUNE UP THE OVERALL GAME EXPERIENCE!
That statement alone bestows more hype upon me than the visuals.
And make the Ghost Ship like a mini dungeon, jeez that had to be the biggest anti climax in any Zelda game for me, I was intrigued ever since old beardo camera man first mentioned it to me and after all of my excitement it was like those subs filled with a few enemies, at least throw a mini boss in there or something.

This makes me very very very happy
Fucking unbelievable
The fuck is this?
Thinking about this now, Wind Waker is one of the last Gamecube games I would have personally chosen for a re-release just considering that it has a great art style and is cel shaded.
I just played through this game last year and it has held up and aged very well, I guess my point is that there are numerous other Gamecube games that could use a HD remaster/remake more than WW.

Would be neat if they have an option that lets you choose the look you prefer.
I like the new look but it's definitely quite different.

"Next-gen" filter for Uncharted 1. A joke graphical effect you can unlock.
Ohhh.
I thought you were like a butt-hurt Nintendo fan since people are posting these comparisons and that was like some sort of one. Lol

This makes me feel better about having sold my Gamecube copy of Wind Waker. When I eventually get around to actually playing through it (that won't be for a long time since I can't even muster the effort to play through Skyward Sword and Majora's Mask) I will have a superior option.
I guess everyone's ignoring the fact that these are just test renders.
I guess this should also go for people who love it as well? What are we suppose to judge it on? If they didn't want us to judge us, they wouldn't have released the damn things.

You know why they didn't show it in motion? Cause it's fucking overlit to hell and the bloom will go crazy if you don't show it from just the right angles, cause it simply picks up and overblows all the white values of the image.
THIS.
That first screenshots look pretty bad... or at the very best they don't look like the original but HD at all.

Had me at U pad support. Day one. Between this and X, Iwata delivered.

I knew my HD Wind Walker screens would be useful at some point.
How would animation change the amount of bloom or the rim lighting or the smoother shadow transitions? It would still look like a different game even if it looked better in motion.

Well, they announced a new Wii U Zelda in the Nintendo Direct too.

I actually think the HD jump looks really good.
No complaints from me.
