Thought this was a neat video.

The game holds up remarkably well at higher resolutions

Nintendo, you know what you must do.

 

[ShadowFox08]

Tag for later

 

[John Kowalski]

Always interesting to see when games have texture that are far better than their resolution shows

 

[pretty done]

Insane what a resolution bump can do, that looks gorgeous.

Nintendo really should port both OoT 3D and MM 3D to Switch. Seems like it'd be easy money.

 

[10k]

Whew.

 

[Kayhan]

Holy shit that looks gorgeous.

 

[JershJopstin]

See, now I just want an HD Zelda collection for the Switch that I know isn't going to happen. Thanks.

Spoiler

But seriously, thanks for the vid. I'm always surprised to see just how high res some 3DS textures are.

 

[Jawbreaker]

PC is a beast.

It actually runs surprisingly well on Citra (as does Ocarina).

 

[James Scott]

Yeah, the 3DS remakes are quite good and some of the better looking titles for the system. I still think they could use with some touching up (the animations are rough at times, some low rez textures, etc) but it would be pretty great to get these at 1080p and maybe even 60fps on Switch eventually

 

[Rogue Agent]

That looks awesome.

 

[jett]

I said damn. All that texturework. Destroyed on the 3DS.

 

[Übermatik]

Remarkable how clear the textures become. Would love to see some later dungeons and environments like those captured by the panorama guy a while back.

 

[Nanashrew]

That texture work is really crazy.

 

[Forerunner]

Looks fucking fantastic.

 

[elguero]

Got damn!

 

[kristianity77]

This does look good and like others have said, a quick and dirty upres of majoras mask and ocarina would be printing money for Nintendo for minimal effort and they would surely both sell well on the switch.

 

[BigTnaples]

Holds up fantastically.

 

[Triforce141]

Hot damn, this game looks good in HD

 

[True Fire]

Please HD Remaster this Nintendo. It'll sell millions, and most of the work has already been done.

 

[Mister Wolf]

It would be a crime for the 3ds and Wii U Zelda titles to not be available on switch.

 

[E_Darkness]

Well if OoT3D and MM3D don't get ported eventually to Switch that sure would be a waste. They scale beautifully.

 

[Master Yoshi]

Damn, I'd kill for an HD bundle with OoT and MM.

 

[Timu]

I said damn. All that texturework. Destroyed on the 3DS.

That is amazing!

Makes me want to do 3DS emulation.

 

[robotrock]

the 3ds is a fucking piece of shit

 

[Dmax3901]

the 3ds is a fucking piece of shit

From 6 years ago lol.

 

[James Scott]

Good comparison, went to check out his others...but the Skyward Sword one is pretty terrible. Looks like those "OMG, Nintendo games in UE4!" fan made projects that look like garbage.

 

[HardRojo]

the 3ds is a fucking piece of shit

It truly is, hardware wise. A lot of detail is lost because of the absurdly low resolution.

 

[DVCY201]

Jeez. Nintendo, do a OoT and MM Double Pack for Switch, please. This is future-proof

 

[sixteen-bit]

Emulation is so cool

 

[Vital Tundra]

3DS did so many games a disservice.

 

[Kouriozan]

The 3DS really didn't do this game justice, those textures are pretty good but limited by that screen.

 

[Nanashrew]

Good comparison, went to check out his others...but the Skyward Sword one is pretty terrible. Looks like those "OMG, Nintendo games in UE4!" fan made projects that look like garbage.

IIRC, the screen filter or something in Skyward Sword doesn't work correctly in an emulator yet so it doesn't give the desired effect like you see on real hardware.

 

[RiverShell]

The game looks so much better there. Pokemon games have great textures at a higher res as well IIRC.

 

[Bluth54]

Wow the textures look amazing. Given the high quality of the textures it would be crazy for Nintendo not to port MM3D (and OoT 3D if the textures are the same high quality) to the Switch.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Rerelease on Switch.

RERELEASE ON SWITCH

 

[Madame M]

I love any excuse to replay Majora's Mask, bring it on

 

[13ruce]

I want those visuals from that fan made hd trailer

 

[James Scott]

Grezzo were pretty talented on 3DS. A bit of a bummer that Ever Oasis is stuck on 3DS. Hopefully that won't be their only shot at making original titles. Looks very pretty despite the stylized visuals and 3DS's resolution.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

That looks pretty.

 

[Friend of Sonic]

It's almost like they made these to be ported to the Switch... Yes I would double dip on a single collection for 40, Nintendo

 

[DonMigs85]

Similar to GameCube and Wii, some games used texture resolutions beyond the 480p or 240p standard.
N64 however still looked bad for the most part even at 240p

 

[LiK]

This is prime for Switch "Remaster". Damn, 3DS destroyed those textures.

 

[Huge Succeeded]

Boy, that game has an excellent art style, and those textures, wow.
These comparisons honestly just remind me of how underpowered the 3DS was, though. Not just the screen, the hardware, too. I can recall a number of PSP games that hold up nearly as well when up-rezzed, despite having half a decade on 3DS.

 

[SURGEdude]

It's really strange to me how much effort they put into these textures considering the hardware would just murder them. No I don't think the 3DS is trash, but this level of detail is so far beyond what was needed that it's kind of puzzling.

 

[Theswweet]

Lots of PSP games hide some great looking models and textures under that resolution. It's not surprising that the 3DS is the same way.

Anyone have those Type-0 PPSSPP pictures? Honestly looks better than the bloom and blur "HD" remaster IMO.

 

[alf717]

Would love to see this and the newer Ocarina on the Switch.

 

[Mohasus]

Looks good, but in that video I'd prefer to play the 3DS version.

 

[Ashby]

Why do they make the textures so good when they know how shitty of a system their game will be on?

 

[Caelus]

Ocarina and Majora 3D have the best artstyles of the series, a perfect 1:1 translation of the original art with all the vibrant colors and detail.

A Switch collection of these two would tide me over until the next Zelda mainline entry.

 

[Wamb0wneD]

It's really strange to me how much effort they put into these textures considering the hardware would just murder them. No I don't think the 3DS is trash, but this level of detail is so far beyond what was needed that it's kind of puzzling.

Maybe they made them to not have to do them again for future iterations on better hardware. I'd buy Ocarina and MM for Switch in a heartbeat if they looke even remotely like the 4k screens in 1080p.
