This game combined with Wii U's vibrant and excellent output quality will just look amazing. I can't wait to play it again.

Yeeeeees!
The last Zelda game I've actually enjoyed and found great value in is getting an update.
I will be purchasing this without question, of course.

I just love what the lighting adds to the environments. I cannot wait to play this.
Vignetting, bad SSAO. WW Nextgen indeed
Will continue to enjoy in Dolphin, myself.
Indeed, the Dolphin version looks way better, mainly because it keeps the original art intect while adding all the extra crispner and detail/smoothness
This new one seems like a bad joke visually TBH, all the bloom and changed art/colors, plus the rendered look that destroys the original cartoon style
Dont like it at all
You lazy assholes Nintendo. That sign texture is clearly just a low res texture gone through a photoshop filter
Also eww they look 3D
Where's my cel shading? .______.
And they don't even have appeared to updated the actual level mesh, just the dynamic meshes.
Also too much bloom.
Having said all that I hope Zelda U goes with this style. It doesn't suit WW but it could look great used in it's own game.

They said they wanna update more than the graphics, no? And Aonuma is very well aware everyone hated that part. Just like the water temple, which they also fixed in OoT 3D.
KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH

I like that bloom lighting.
Must be the last person on earth, who doesn't all the time complain about "too much bloom, lol".

I'm surprisingly numb to this announcement... if not a little worse.
Wind Waker already looks amazing, still. Why put it in HD? From the screens, I can't honestly say it looks better than the original version. In a way, it looks worse, as it doesn't have as much charm to me.
Hopefully the "remake" addresses some of the issues with the gameplay at least. And this is yet another time I'm upset that Nintendo doesn't have some sort of achievement system, even if just for social purposes.

If not, then maybe F-Zero GX. Looks like we won't be getting a proper sequel anytime soon so that's the least they could do. /wishful thinking
Galaxy-esque HD WW looks great! It'll give me an excuse to wait a little longer to play it since I've been thinking about firing up the GCN version again recently.
Pointing out that the bloom looks bad is now being bitter

I think those would benefit more than WW given the HD treatment.
I, along with everybody else, hope they address the triforce fetch quest AND also give us more content at the same time.
I'm reserving judgement on the visuals until they are further along in development. These look really early to me. Link's eyes are all grainy in one of the higher res images... which is like a no-no for a final build lol.
But yeah, THIS IS how you do an HD Remastering. Actually try to improve the graphics with the new technology rather than just upres'ing the game.

What, how did they manage to make it look like shit? You almost had me too, Nintendo.

What a weird thing to do to such a highly stylized art style. Still looks great, but... why not just make it HD? Why fuck with the art?
Just lol.

It's not as big of an upgrade compared to Dolphin shots, yeah.
I imagine someone who only knows the GC game would be much more impressed with this graphical update.
Many people, myself included, still dislike Twilight Princess. I think the same thing will hold true for Skyward Sword in a few years.

Give it to me now.
I hope they price it right. Although Zelda OoT on 3DS tells me this is a $40-$50 game.

The bloom is too overwhelming and detracts from the rest. Looks good, but to me the skyboxes definitely look worse the way they do now. Hope they put in new content like those scrapped dungeons and find a way to fix the drudgery that is the Triforce quest near endgame.

Agreed, it also loses some of the charm.
If I sound bitter I don't really care. Wind Waker is one of my favourite games of all time and it deserves the best remake in the world.
Not a remake that throws out it's unique art style in favour of fancier shading techniques.

I dislike WW to this day but I adore TP. Beautiful sprawling overworld and great atmosphere. I also very much disliked SS.

Looks great although it doesn't look like a cartoon anymore :[ (also too much bloom)
I don't know, man. I'm not sure I like the way this "looks" even as much as the Gamecube original. Polygon counts aren't everything. Neither is bloom, as much as Nintendo seems to want to make that not the case.

But look at that bloom!! And those artifact ridden shadows, that horrible SSAO, that shading already overused by Nintendo. :|

It worries me that most of these textures look like they were run through a filter. Remake the textures the right way please.
Except you know, everything?
