That's a big loss. It's partly why I've always had a strong preference for the Wii version of Twilight Princess.
Does third-person aiming work with gyroscope controls?
This. Any enthusiasm I had for this announcement died the moment they confirmed no Wiimote support.

If they make improvements to some of the myriad of problems that plague TP, I will give it more respect.

The use of the bow is all gyro, fyi.

Really? I thought that was in Skyward Sword whenever you use the bow or dousing. If I recall correctly, when aiming, the Wii version fixed Link in place, but allowed turning the camera left or right via analog stick. As for third-person aiming, I believe so.

Along with much crisper textures too. Seriously, the original game had some glaringly blurry-looking environments.
Refer to the video in the aforementioned link in this post.
...it's okay, usually nobody remembers me.I don't actually remember who I'm referring to specifically

Holding down the Z button while aiming in Twilight Princess (Wii) allows you to control Link's movement instead of the camera. Just don't get too close to an enemy or else it'll switch to the lock-on view.
Wait, maybe moving while aiming is still possible with the gyroscope and ZL button in the Wii U version, but first you have to activate the over-the-shoulder camera in the options?

Always liked how the chain parts closest to the body get incandescent red while he's ignated and then cool down some time after you hit the eye.
It is also a really clever way to beat the boss and a nice combination of two items.
It would be interesting to have a direct comparsion of this temple against the Wii version, since this is one of the places that have decent texture work in the original.
I could try to do a comparison of that dungeon, though it'd have to be a walkthrough of it as I don't have a save file prior to completing it. I had originally intended to stream that dungeon, but my connection was subpar and kept dropping in quality. I may try to stream the Zora stuff later this evening.
Yeah, I really hope Zelda U has at least some of that increased mobility.
That boss always looked so cool before release, then you fight him and he's a pushover. A problem with most of the game's bosses, really.

While i fully agree, TP is the only game besides Skyward that at least has a dash button. Of course it is a middle ground solution since it's only for the wolf form, but i remember using it quite often when you get the ability to transform at will.

Of course.
I linked to two wikis covering all of these things.

According to OP they removed it... As sad as it sounds. I put his quotted his post in the first page.
It has motion aiming like Splatoon, though, so it's not far off.

no, it has motion aiming like Wind Waker HD, the baseline everyone should compare it to in terms of features
What the hell? Doesn't that fight take place over a pit of lava with the platform tilting?
EDIT: Ahh, that's the miniboss. Huh. I had combined them in my head.
New duo of videos - one from GX and one from Direct-Feed.

That is a crime. That was one of the best post title screen intros of all time.
It looks great. Thanks to NateDrake for sharing loads of gameplay videos. Too bad it seems the intro was left untouched and they didn't add any enhancements to accelerate it or something. It's such a loooong and boring as hell intro IMO. It's one of the reasons I've never finished this Zelda. 5 or 6 hours in and I gave up.

The CD contains remastered music, so hopefully that's a quasi-confirmation that the music in-game will also get the same treatment.
EDIT: To clarify, the music isn't being orchestrated ala Wind Waker HD. You'll take your remastered MIDI and you'll like it!

I am so excited. The game looks like what I was expecting.
I hope the changes make the game even better. The change I wanted most is an increase in climbing speed.

That's where the confusion is coming from, mon ami. The CD music may or may not be present in the game. Nate's got the game but AFAIK we don't have confirmation yet of whether it was for the CD only, as the comment from Nintendo about the CD kinda made it sound that way. I'd be delighted with any musical improvements, though. So I will gladly take that *and* like it!

WWHD had no orchestrated music.

WWHD was still MIDI, they just used improved sampled and changed the mixing. I hope that TPHD has gotten the same treatment.
Disappointingly in the same video he confirms Midna's Lament is still overridden by enemy encounter music (a question I asked).
Here's the link to the video with both confirmations and other questions asked, for folks wondering: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmfXNIu76zk
Edit: He also confirmed the loading zones in Hyrule Field have not been changed, they are still there. Damn. What a shame. :/

They took out the intro gameplay video at the title screen? Lame. I actually like watching that.

They remastered the music with new instruments, however.

Its about less then 2 hours, how did it take 5 or 6?
Anyways I love the intro, I like taking it slow and getting to know my surroundings, I still think Wind Waker did it best, buts that bias for my love of Wind Waker.

Don't forget the Majora's Mask in Link's house in ALBW. Skyward Sword also had OoT and Wind Waker easter eggs if I'm not wrong
Maybe I'm crazy, but I have memories of Twilight Princess being one of my favorite Zelda games. At least, of the 3D ones. It had some legit amazing dungeons. I'm super excited for this, and see if I can recapture the magic in a bottle, or realize it was a fluke. I guess it has been 10 years since I last played it. Which is fucking crazy, by the way.

Weird that the 'Twilight Princess Retrospective' video Nintendo uploaded got me hyped for the game when footage didn't. Looking forward to this now, and only a week away!
The thirst is real, lol... I need new info and media not now, yesterday... -_-

About the Midna Music: For real? What a missed opportunity.
