meh, going by those pics it looks worse

[AGITΩ]

Nintendo Reminded me why I bought this Wii U at launch. Wind Waker on the Can. LOVE IT

[bigtroyjon]

I'm a bit confused. The first pictures they showed were for the brand new Zelda, right? Then the stuff they showed later was the remake?

He said they don't even know what the visual style of the new Zelda is going to be yet, everything was remake.

[FearMyWrench]

I honestly never thought they would do this.

But they are.

And I couldn't be happier. I really couldn't.

[TriGen]

When they didn't mention GC at all during th VC stuff, I felt like that meant they'd jump on the HD train. And even better with this it sounds and looks like it is more than an upress, it's a total remastering.

[Anth0ny]

Yeah, it looks kinda bad compared to the original.

hope they fix that.

and the triforce quest.

and boss rush.

and lack of dungeons.

[SenseiJinx]

Those graphics look awful. Why are they introducing that kind of lighting in a cell shaded game? It completely kills the art style.

Agreed, playing WW on Dolphin looks so much better than those shots, in my opinion...of course, the finished product may make it better, and it may be better in motion.

[Smellycat]

The Wind Waker was my first Zelda game, and this news makes me happy!! The HD update looks like it removed some of the vibrant colors, but we only had still images to work with.

[solarus]

Please add in the dungeons that didn't make it in the first time around

This. I've always been hoping for this, they have no reason not to now.

[Lulubop]

Official title is Wind Waker reborn I'm pretty sure.

[balladofwindfishes]

Out of all Nintendo games, no one justified an HD remake as much as this one.

Yep. The game would have looked lovely just with some cleaner textures and some AA. This went above and beyond into something magical.

Wind Waker has aged so beautifully too, and HD remake just puts it over the top.

[GulAtiCa]

:D

Maybe I'll actually finish it this time. :D

[Slayer-33]

God damn God damn God damn

[f0rk]

They don't even have video yet?

[Lord-Audie]

What's wrong with the colors?

[Elfish]

Please add in the dungeons that didn't make it in the first time around

I was going to post the same thing, let's hope so.
Really looking forward to it and maybe I will buy the WiiU next fall.

[olimpia84]

Looks fucking beautiful. Day one here

[RyanReedyMusic]

Finally Nintendo delivered some goodness. Stoked to play this bad boy. If that screen is any indication. They are going for gold on alot of these titles.

[Hot Coldman]

Holy bloom, Batman.

Eh, the original looked perfect. I think they tinkered too much. Reminds me too much of Toon Link in Brawl.

[DashReindeer]

I'm freaking out. Ten years ago, Wind Waker gave me one of the most mind-bendingly insane experiences of all time. This Fall is gonna be crazy.

[Lyphen]

Versus.

I'm surprised they could make a timeless style look worse.

[FalconSabre]

Wow. Totally did not expect that announcement. One of my favorite games ever. I was gonna pull it out and replay it soon, but I guess I should wait now.

[Kamek]

YES!!!! I haven't played Windwaker in years holding out hopes that they'd put it on 3DS but now THIS? I WISHED the NEW zelda would look like this. This is just AMAZING fan service. Thank you based Aounuma. :'( BibleThump

[axisofweevils]

No doubt, the Gamepad will be used as the Tingle Tuner.

[cyberheater]

hnnnnnnnggggg All Zelda games should look like this.

No they shouldn't. I hate the cell style. On the other hand. I'm really enjoying playing Skyward Sword via Dolphin at the minute. That's a great art style. I'd be quite happy if Ninty went down that path.

[jokkir]

It looks like a mix between Wind Waker and Skyward Sword.

[Codeblue]

Here's hoping they finish up the last dungeons.

In any case, it looks pretty incredible.

[ape2man]

YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

shit

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!! must buy WIIU

[Jarsonot]

Tuned gameplay = better boat control I hope!

[Screamapillar]

Remember that time they banked on an HD rerelease to push sales of hardware? Shut up, Nintendo. Bring me something new.

Did you not watch the segment directly after when Iwata said they're releasing Wind Waker HD in the fall to tide people over while the main Zelda team works on the Wii U Zelda?

It happened like... right after that, dude.

[McBradders]

This looks wrong. Characters aren't cel-shaded anymore.

Oh man you ruined it :(

[jett]

Holy bloom, Batman. Eh, the original looked perfect. I think they tinkered too much. Reminds me too much of Toon Link in Brawl.

babby's first use of HDR

jk it looks nice, but it has deviated a lot from the original game's look, unfortunately.

[CorrisD]

Remember that time they banked on an HD rerelease to push sales of hardware? Shut up, Nintendo. Bring me something new.

I remember people being over the moon with OoT for the 3DS, but for all the fuss over the announcement an release it didn't do much for the 3DS at the time.

So I would have to agree, I loved WindWake and it looks awesome in HD regardless of a slight loss in style the original had, but I want new games to get me to buy their system, give me HD remakes/rereleases running up to a new game or afterwards, not as a stop gap because they haven't managed to plan ahead well for a new system.

[thomasmahler]

So they removed the cel shading and added tons of bloom?

[TheBatman]

I never played Normal Wind Waker so this is very exciting for me.

[Regulus Tera]

I don't like how the graphics look now. :/

[AtomicShroom]

Hey Nintendo, here's the fix list:

- Add much, much more land.
- Make travel less tedious (ie. not having to play that song every time I want to change wind direction).
- Fix that tedious Triforce quest.

Just make the non-land non-dungeon parts less tedious overall!

[Cannon Goose]

The lack of cel-shading doesn't really improve the look at all in my opinion.

[Alrus]

It's nice that it's actually a remake and not an HD port. I'm excited.

[RawkHawk2010]

[StriKeVillain]

Reserving my judgment until we get some actual gameplay. I didn't really like how different those shots were to the original. Plenty of development time though.

[Kajiba]

Definitely getting it.

[LiK]

MINE

[Wolves Evolve]

Why would you remake a cel-shaded game without the cel-shading? I mean.. is it just resolution I'm supposed to care about?

[Thunder Monkey]

Apparently I'll need a WiiU.

[Regulus Tera]

No seriously the lighting work in the GCN game looks vastly superior, not to mention the colours look less vibrant now. What the shit.

[Beaniedude]

"Tuned up overall game experience."

So.... are they going to fix the pacing issues?

[Ydahs]

I like the look of the environments, but prefer the original cel shaded character models.

It seems to be early in development since we saw no footage at all. Hopefully improvements and tweaks to the visual style aren't finalized just yet.

[Neiteio]

Something really looks off here. :-\ And somehow I can't help but think they won't seize this opportunity to add dungeons like they should.

[Hot Coldman]

babby's first use of HDR jk it looks nice, but it has deviated a lot from the original game's look, unfortunately.

I think they're currently sitting on the fine line between a HD upressing and a significant graphical overhaul- they need to pick a side. I'd prefer the former, but the latter also makes a great deal of sense. This half-way house doesn't real interest me either way.
