I really hope this version will include the cut content. I also wonder if the gamepad is going to be the tingle tuner for this game.

will they add the dungeons they supposedly ran out of time for?
if so, that + faster sailing would be one hell of a game. easily best 3D zelda.

Hmm looked better in small screens.
Truly is halfway between a full-blown remake and a simple HD port. Seems it's using the same texture and model assets as the original. Textures obviously have less compression this time.doctordoak

I was looking at WW images last night for my kid's bday party, and was thinking about how great a remake would be. This is awesome. Not sure about the bloom though.

I agree. They really shat all over the original look.

Wow. Original looked pretty awesome but it looks even more beautiful in HD.
I'm looking forward to this, seeing as I didn't really play much of the original.

They said they were reworking some of the gameplay, but that might just be minor stuff. 3 more dungeons would be a dream, but I doubt that would happen, especially since it is coming out this year.
Urgh, they need to fix the lighting, and actually make it look like Wind Waker. It's like someone managed to puke bloom all over it.
They need to make the gamepad work as the Tingle Tuner. Fix that camera while they're at it, fuck three photos at any one time.
Add in the missing dungeons. I want at least a dungeon for the blue pearl, and another one for the Master Sword.
Then two mini-dungeons for the arrows. Then a proper dungeon for Ganon's Tower.
I'm actually okay with the Triforce hunt for the most part, but they need to do something about Tingle's involvement with it, and instead of just picking up a chest with the shard in there should be a mini-dungeon in old Hyrule that you have work through to earn it.

We know nothing about it yet.

I have mixed feelings about this, I really want to replay WWHD but I want to play Majora's Mask much more :/
This is all thanks to Theophany - the Majoras Mask sound track remix

Agreed. Rereleasing the same exact game in 1080p would've been lame.
This is very much welcome.
They've already announced MM3D, for 3DS. If you read between the lines. It's coming after New Legend of Zelda.

I guess the problem is that the environments were never really cel shaded, they had hard lines like you said. It was the characters that had round bodies which needed the effect added artificially. Hopefully they'll go back and do that - I don't see why the cel look can't work with the new lighting etc.
While the idea of "Wind Waker HD" is great and exciting, this looks like shit so far.
The game doesn't need all that bullshit lighting. It needs to be cel-shaded. It just looks awkward without it. And that's way too much bloom for any game of any style.
All the game needs is higher resolution textures and higher polycounts. That's it.
Also it sounds like they put this together and will be releasing it with only a year's worth of development. I highly doubt they add dungeons but I'll be pleasantly surprised if they do.

The lighting/shadowing on the character models, perhaps?
Indeed and without all that strange bloom
But is nice for those that only played it on GC/Wii i guess
So, where is the new Zelda ?
Also really want a Wind Walker version for 3DS with the 3D effect and old cartoon like graphics without the rendered look
It's SPLIIIIIIIISH

The environments look fantastic, but something is a little bit off about the character models. I think I need to see more before I call them "off" but we'll see.

Yeah, there will be some new gimmick like hold the pad controller up to the screen to use as a telescope.

Im a bit disspointed because its Wind Waker... MM would have been better but okay some of you may like it.
I'd guess more like the latter. By reissuing WW, they satisfy the Cel Shading whores and so the new game can be more like skyward sword HD.
MM is probably going to be remade for the 3DS.
I came in here to post pretty much everything you just said. Looking at screens now, they need to get cel shaded characters in there still. Also, fully explorable underwater Hyrule. I'm in the school that didn't mind the Triforce hunt, but it's no secret it was added to replace the missing dungeons - I wouldn't mind having to hunt one or two pieces.
Also, I take it you meant "Fix that camera" to mean "Make the color camera available from the start of the game as a default item, and let me use the Gamepad as a camera."

I will actually buy this (new) if they 1) finish the game and add the missing dungeons, and 2) remove the triforce hunt.
Wouldn't hurt if they added real swimming and underwater dungeons too (stupid, stupid omission from the og game)

Please no more remakes or HD ports Nintendo. Give us brand new titles in these series.

wow looks nice. still not entirely sure it looks better than what a 360 could do, but very nice.
I'm with you.
I'm done with the Zelda fanbase, they are insufferable. We could get every single wish about the series ever made, they somehow will still complain.
And I loved Aunoma struggling with English just so he could introduce himself to us.

yeah, sounds like a bummer. Missed opportunity though. Still interested.
