luckily it's not the same thing, it's an improved version of the old thing.

They have a new Zelda for 3ds in development . Hopefully a remake plus new game for Zelda 3ds .

Those came years after the system launch and were minor releases among a packed schedule of brand new games. Nintendo is doing a poor job managing their properties.
My initial impressions were that the environments look good, but models look bad.
After seeing the direct feed shots, I've flipped. Models look glorious, though the environments need some work. There needs to be more of a balance, since a realistic lighting model doesn't seem to work well with low poly models and textures made for a completely different artstyle.
I need to see this in motion.

fair point. thank you.
i said lol
They do tend to forget it.
But I imagine it will be fixed as part of that "tuning up the overall gameplay experience" bulletpoint.
People like and defend the fetch quest, it made me give up on gamers.
So glad to see they finally gave a name to SAILING SIMULATOR 2013.
I knew it was a project Nintendo was working on, but didn't think they'd rope it into a full fledged Zelda game.

Still - I'll purchase because Wind Waker was awesome the first time around, and I'd love to enjoy it in 1080p.

God... i just want MM to play it again for the next 10 years. I cant play MM with those graphics anymore. And i hated the OoT anime style of the 3DS remake... i want it in HD

When they said this, I immediately though of the Triforce Quest. I wonder how they'll do it though.
Pretty much.

GMers are a fickle bunch. Game looks great. Cant wait to see how the whole gMe translates. Day one. Wiiu purchase confirmed.
Grabbed the higher res pics from Nintendo's press site

I don't understand why they took such a vibrant game and gave it such a sickly pallor
Day one anyway, but I mean, what the hell is going on here
It's like that unlockable joke filter in Uncharted

Hmm, no, thanks. It'll be good for people who play it only for the artstyle (like absolute majority of WW fans do), but it won't change WW is a very tedious game.

Given the likely marginal budget I really doubt the 360 would have too much trouble running it.
But I also don't think that matters much. WiiU is give or take at parity with the 360. Now just shut up and look at the pretties specialguy.

Vignetting, bad SSAO. WW Nextgen indeed
Will continue to enjoy in Dolphin, myself.

I'll say one thing- Nintendo skipping Majora's Mask in the remake cycle means they know it's already perfect.

The first half of Wind Waker is sublime, the second half I find weak by comparison whicg drags the game down, I can only hope that "tuning up the overall game experience" is them doing more than the bare minimum because it could take WW into being a great but flawed game into being pure distilled awesome.
I'm pretty sure it's still early days for the visuals, i'll wait until we have some more footage to go by as opposed to what seemed to be more of the Zelda team dicking around with HD visuals.

Yes! That's it. This has the "brawlified" toon character feel to an extent. I want the hard shadows from the original game on the character models.

As ever, wait until you see it in motion before passing judgement.
there is also the fact that remakes introduce a game to audience that would otherwise never play it. they dont make games just for the same generation of people to play over and over again.
Yeah, this kind of upgrade would be MINDBLOWING... on Twilight Princess. It'd be a straight up upgrade there, no debating it.
Here? Uhh, I hope it's a toggle, because at best it's like moving from cel animation to CGI, at worst clearly doesn't look right as they try to add modern bloom and lightning to a game that's supposed to be cel shaded. The appeal of WW's look was that it was timeless and resistant to aging, it can be improved but that'd be more by throwing more polygons on to eliminate any unintended blockiness, not by dumping bloom on.

Really excited for this but as this game is pretty much a stopgap I can't help but worry how far off the new Zelda will be, I'm assuming 3-5 years :/.
I seriously don't get at all what the hell you people are talking about, the original never looked "2D" like, maybe in screenshots, if anything. And that's stretching it.

Like it? I bloody LOVE IT! Wind Waker is my favorite Zelda with TP a close second
I'm a bit burnt out on MM and OoT to be honest.

Yeah, I hope that's what it is. He said that they were messing around with WW's style as we saw in the pictures and then they realized that they should make an HD Wind Waker. It could go either way really...

I played it in higher than HD already . Hopefully they improved the assets.
. Hopefully they improved the assets.Classic Zelda reactions:
*Game is announced*
"HOLY SHIT FUCK, OH MY GOD DAY ONE FOR SURE, OH MY GOD HHHNNNGGG!!"
*Later that day*
"Yeah, it seems pretty bland compared to the last game. That one was a timeless classic, for sure. I wish they remained true to their origins, but oh well. It's a Zelda game, so I'll give in, I guess..."

Would be cool if its rendering at 1080p... but really I don't care. I'll await the next zelda announcement before I buy a wii-u.
Or they hate us
