I know im another random bloke popping in to say it... But this makes me bummed if it dosnt keep the cel shading of the original as an option.
It just looks like a large chunk of the original intent of the GC release is missing.
Well that's the end of my bitching... Just had to say it.

this is where I'm at currently.
I think the world itself looks fine, just the character models are a bit sketchy.

The more I think about it, I prefer the older look although I'm excited about this HD remake.
The reason being is that the old look was built with the GC in mind, so it had a charm to it that felt timeless. This HD remake just feels like every other cel-shaded current gen console game.
It's still cool though.

It is pretty funny how its now it's the Celda fans who are bitching about a new artstyle
Sincerely even considering that most of the work is already done because it's a remake i think that a period of 6 months to be too short to change drastically the way game looks... they first had to consider the change, then they have to approve it and they have to do it...
to me seems way too much work to do this overnight, but it's also true that i know nothing about game development so...
Of course i'm not talking of only reducing the bloom but to make it look more like the original.
The circle is complete.It is pretty funny how its now it's the Celda fans who are bitching about a new artstyle

Lol you should check out the Nintendo Direct thread, at around page 90 and onwards to 110 or so. It's like opening a flood gate of positivity and hype talk. The negative people are still there, you see them every ither 100 post or so.
So yeah, there are definitely plenty of happy people on GAF. It's just that the negative people keeps on posting so when the positive people settle down and goes away to do something else with a happy smile on their face all you see here are the negative people that still keep on posting. A person I can't remember the name of said it best in the middle of all the "HYYYYYYYYYYYYYPE!!!!!" in the ND thread when he said:
"I give GAF 3 hours to find a way to shit on WWHD".
He nailed it.
So, just don't read "old" threads about awesome news and you'll leave GAF happy.
Edit: Further explanation
Well it's a good thing they have several months then.

Nintendo has really shot themselves in the foot.
I don't know how much the rest of you know about Japanese culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in Japan, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is the japanese public, after seeing this change in art-style, is not going to want to purchase WWHD for either system, nor will they purchase any of Nintendo's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Nintendo has alienated an entire market with this move.
Nintendo, publicly apologize and cancel WWHD for Wii U or you can kiss your business goodbye.

Don't know if anyone already noticed but why is there brown-sleeved Link in the screenshots?
The final version in the original WW had bright-green sleeves, only Beta WW-Link had brown sleeves :O

You must've missed the time where it was said that this are screenshots from an experimental phase. These screenshots are up to one year old, basically.

Expected this:
Got this
Technically it's better. Artistically it's a downgrade.
To me it's still better looking than Twilight Princess.

Why does everyone love TWW now? I remember a LOT of criticism because of the uninspired dungeons save 2 or 3, the stupid overworld, the wind thing, the boring and lazy triforce "quest", the run-of-the-mill zelda mechanic/item rehash and the suspensionless finale build-up. Now it's the best Zelda ever?

I'm willing to bet that the gameplay upgrades are similar to OoT 3D's, with your items being toggled to the Game Pad and such. Maybe they'll even allow for a "HUDless mode" where the HUD is on the Game Pad, giving you a clutter-free screen.

I arways riked it.
But then again, I've found things to like in all the Zelda games. I guess I'm just not jaded enough yet.

Perfect.
Dude, you're trying too hard.
The only Zelda games I have ever found myself not liking were the two DS titles, and even those had redeeming qualities. Of all the games WW is one of my favorites, if not my favorite, MM is the only one I might like more.
I for one love all the Zelda games (aside Majora, i really don't like it [and the DS's games of course, i don't even consider them Zelda]) but it's at least 3-4 years since WW love highly rose... since the dolphin became at least functional to do screenshots i would say.
But there is still a lot of people who doesn't like it but obviously they aren't very vocal in a WW thread.

How to remake a game: remove all the graphical charm from the original
But then again, I suppose this was to be expected
The Wii U is simply doing what the 360 and the ps3 did when they were new
Nintendo's finally going next gen with bloom and blur. It's gotta catch up somewhere.

The only other site I've seen more negativity is N4g. But that is most likely the large amount of trolling. Lol
Anyway, I like what Ninty has done with Wind Waker HD including the lighting and characters.

I don't think they've redone many of the assets, if at all.
And they are under no threat from Dolphin users (all one thousand of them).

haha, awesome.
lol this is an occurring thing bro.
You get people who hated WW finally realising it wasn't that bad and people who loved it been more vocal about there been a rerelease.
The issues the game had are still there but its the last whymiscal Zelda. TP was alright, but it was cold, it had no wonder or ambition other then been OoT 2.0. As for Skyward Sword it could end up been loved at some point in the future by the haters, but that doesn't change it too has many issues, its not whymiscal, its story foces itself at you, and the overall game has flow issues, with the everything is an dungeon idea been badly implemented.
Mario Sunshine HD with moar bloomy Fludd
Hmm It would be double the current bloom in those WW after a certain number of shines are collected XD.
Mario does have that sunglasses outfit tho thankfully lol.
You joke but Mario Sunshine could be the only game to benefit of the superbloom
Back when it was released it was the follow up to OOT and MM.
Now, it's the predecessor of TP and SS.
There is no Zelda cycle, the series has got progressively worse with every new game since Majora's Mask
Well, for those who don't like the HD style they seem to be adopting, maybe that, with a bit of luck, we'll get a feature to turn some kind of 'classic look' on/off.
wow
Wow... So... I can't be the only one who's just now realizing that Wind Waker wasn't even actually 'cell shaded', am I?
It was toon shaded.

What? Of course it was, that's why it's looking that much better than the new version, which has all kinds of other shaders applied.
!!
Also, Cel shading and Toon shading is the same.
Also also, just in case someone comes up with black outlines, those are done with border detection which isn't part of the shading.
