The same could be asked for the Giant Pig in Wind Waker

Never had any issues with that. It should be optional along with the new controls.
Really the least they can do after blocking off game content with toys.

Giant Pig is where the Ganon transformation went.

It's a HD remaster, how much better do you expect it to look? It already looks better than what people originally thought it looked.
Do we have confirmation that Hero Mode is definitely a separate thing from Ganondorf? And if so, that it will double the damage in Hero Mode?

I don't think it's possible for them to make it too hard. TP's melee combat controls are almost flawless.

That is when the real dark souls happens.
Famitsu has been accurate so far, no reason to doubt them now.
Level 1 nude Dark Souls maybe, and that's assuming Hero Mode is only 2x damage and not something like 4x damage. Can you imagine 8x the damage? You'd get hit by a random arrow and instantly just fall over dead.
You DON'T. There is a Hero Mode in the game by default which makes you take 2x the damage. The Ganondorf amiibo is if you want 4x the damage
"New challenge levels"
I played those on the Gamecube.
Also, I dislike how outside of the UI and screen resolution, the game looks identical to the Gamecube version as well. Both WWHD and this are huge missed opportunities since they are on hardware that could do the concept art justice for those games.

It has new textures too.
No you didn't. The Cave of Ordeals is still in the game, this is a new challenge area with 40 floors featuring the Twilight enemies and whatever else didn't get used in the Cave of Ordeals + gimmick stuff like lava tiles.
Yes, it's reusing stuff already in the game but it's still new content as it wasn't there before.

I'm honestly cool with all of the Amiibo functionality in this game, beside maybe Zelda/Sheik, since they give probably too much health back, but I can see why they would decide on these as their functions. The least fun part of Zelda for me is when I'm about to die and I have to go cut every piece of grass so I can get my magic/heath/bombs/arrows to a spot where I feel comfortable going forward.

You people should try Palace of Twilight on Hero Mode with like 3 hearts or something. It wont end well for you.
Isn't Zelda/Sheik limited to once per day? I think it'd be cooler if it was maybe useless in dungeons/important areas, but worked just about all the time in the field.

OH, it's once a day? I thought it was like once every 30 minutes or something. I guess that's fine.

The new cave is Wolf Link only? Yuck, Wolf Link was way less fun to play as.

Still silly as hell. ALBW features enemies that do 4x right out of the box, no extra peripherals needed.
It's an extremely gimmicky and gross way to incentivize people to cough up cash for their toyline, imo. The only way I can play the hardest difficulty is if I buy their toy.

So what you're saying is "he does"?

Yea, I don't see how people can defend this. It's gross as shit.
It's not exactly difficult to code additional given damage or anything. Not worth $15.

I said this in the previous topic that mentioned the cave being wolf form only. How can they stretch a 40 floor cave with nothing but enemy encounters when the wolf is inferior to use in combat?
Pretty sure it's gonna stack.
But ALBW didn't take away getting hearts from grass or the other stuff WWHD's Hero Mode does that TPHD will almost surely copy (though not confirmed yet obviously).
I don't agree with it either (them locking another multiplier behind an amiibo) but saying that the game doesn't include a difficulty option just because it isn't as hard as you'd like it to be is a fallacy. The fact is Hero Mode even with a 2x multiplier is a difficulty option. It is a harder version of the game. Just not as hard as it should be without an amiibo. :/
Now, you could make the argument that it's like a Very Hard option and sure I'd agree with that.

Totally disagree, outside the intro TP has the best pacing. finish a dungeon and you are thrust into another overworld quest basically right away. Nearly Every mini game is part of the main quest, it hurts the side quests but it means the main quest is extremely varied and always has something to do. That leads right to the next dungeon, there is almost no down time.

But Wind Waker HD looked a lot better than the original while TPHD looks kinda the same except for a few high res textures here and there. I was just hoping they updated the lighting like they did on WWHD but it seems it's the same as the original wich makes everything have that yellowish muddy tint that doesn't look that good IMO. Will buy anyways just so I can finish this Zelda once and for all

Eh, it might be for the better. I didn't like the new lighting in TWW and still prefer playing my Gamecube copy with Dolphin. I understand it's a preference and others prefer the newer lighting, though.
Lol ikr that dude took off like 5 hearts
It does look really slick love the improvements
I thought the same thing, the bow and arrow scene def looked like gyro aiming with the gamepad

I'm really happy with the way this game looks. They made a mistake showing the scenes and areas they did in the reveal, they were too drab.

They had incentive to do a "remake" for that game.
Not much incentive to do one for this title this late in a poorly played game.
Found my new wallpaper
Fuck, I love this game's art style so much. Easily the best Zelda style.
Well it's a good thing Ganondorf also can be used in eight other games to improve his value proposition. Or is everyone here buying a Wii U just for Twilight Princess HD without buying any other Wii U games?
BTW, he costs about $11 after tax with GCU or Amazon Prime. And you're not just buying DLC, you're also buying a detailed, well-painted, displayable figure of a cool character that probably could have been sold for $9.99 just as a figure without the NFC stuff.
I sure am glad for that amiibo tap(tm) functionality.
Honestly Twilight Princess needs a lot of changes to it to be a great game. It was my most disappointing game ever. I thought it was truly going to be as good as Ocarina or Majora's Mask was but it was pretty average and had a lot of flaws. I'll just keep on playing my Gamecube copy.

If you ignore the worst offending NPC designs, sure. Many people in Ordon look gross compared to the 64 designs.
I think you're misunderstanding what I am saying.
They can put this in there and I can choose to use it or not. That's fine by me.
But doesn't Nintendo care that they're basically saying "Yeah this game was made with careful consideration to the damage done and how many potions you can carry etc. to give players a challenge that when they overcome will give them a great amount of satisfaction. But give us $15 for this toy and you can just keep giving yourself health."
Like what's next? Tap the amiibo and have AI control your character for you.
Seems disrespectful to the act of game design and the reason people play games in the first place. That's all I meant.
