Support NeoGAF

[leroidys]

Thank god, it looks like they are using higher res textures. Do we know if this is 1080p60 like WWHD?

Wind Waker is 1080p 30

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Im still gonna play the regular, screw that ganondorf functionality lol

 

[KingBroly]

WWHD was 1080/30


I sure hope that isn't Hero Mode footage. 12 hearts of damage per hit.

 

[Ridley327]

So wolf-link will also be supported in the next real zelda game? (according to the subtitle of the video)

Yes. That was something they confirmed when they first revealed the game. Given that Wolf Link is the first of the Zelda series, there's sure to be more revealed once Zelda U gets its proper unveiling later this year.

 

[leroidys]

Wind Waker is 1080p 30

Ah, my bad. And then when you use the cannon it's 1080p 15

 

[Ahnez]

It was already confirmed before.

That 6 heart damage was not just a 2x damage..

 

[Arzehn]

The ones that restore health and arrows can only be used once a day I believe.

I think it's a once per day use

No. Famitsu mentioned you can use them only once a day.

I see... not a fan of gameplay advantages.

Thanks.

 

[Kriken]

Nah. Pretty much the same.

AND THERE'S NO WAY THAT'S ONLY 2X DAMAGE FROM THE GANON AMIIBO.

It is

 

[WarAdept]

YEEEEES. Ganondorf amiibo + Hero Mode = greatest Zelda ever made.

I adored Hero Mode in Wind Waker. Now everything is a one shot? I'M READY.

 

[Vidiot]

Err... am I understanding correctly or can you basically just have infinite life and arrows if you have the Amiibos?

Once a day I heard.

 

[Kouriozan]

I have a feeling that the Wolf Link Amiibo will give you a giant wolf to mount in Zelda U.

 

[Portugeezer]

He took 6 hearts of damage with one hit from King Moblin.

INSANE.

Zelda Souls

 

[BY2K]

It is

...

Why the HELL would this guy do more damage than the FINAL BOSS!?

 

[Ahnez]

I have a feeling that the Wolf Link Amiibo will give you a giant wolf to mount in Zelda U.

Someone quick post a Mononoke Hime image

 

[Trace]

Still confused as to why this game is literally just using Amiibos as cheat codes.

I miss real cheat codes.

 

[Rodin]

do i spot a new lighting system in that footage?

Nope, but they're using hd textures.

And holy shit at that Ganondorf amiibo damage

 

[Richie]

In case any of you wanna secure a Ganondorf amiibo ahead of time, Amazon themselves still have about a dozen in stock; 9.99 if you're a Prime Member.

 

[Silent_Ocarina]

If they did anything substantial, people would complain about how Nintendo is locking content behind cheap, plastic toys.

It's a damned if they do, damned if they don't situation.

 

[EhoaVash]

Good luck to anyone who is planning on doing the cave of ordeals with ganon amiibo

imagine fighting 4 darknuts @_@

 

[SalvaPot]

Wolf Only extra Challenge levels, a nice little extra for the Amiibo fans.

 

[Scrawnton]

Now my only decision is to figure out if I should play hero mode and Ganondorf rebuff the whole time...

 

[WarAdept]

Good luck to anyone who is planning on doing the cave of ordeals with ganon amiibo

I'm salivating at the prospect. The adrenaline rush is going to be so good.

Spoiler

There's always the Magic Armour.

 

[Toparaman]

I can't watch with sound right now. What's the music situation?

pls no midi

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Man this just doesn't look like as visually striking as the Wind Waker remake.

Then again, Wind Waker was made for HD.

 

[CaptainLoveline]

Aesthetically it looks worse than the original imho. The soft glowy look in the twilight areas seem to be less pronounced now, and everything looks much more vibrant.

But damn, I want that Wolf Link amiibo though.

 

[joms5]

Am I the only person who thinks all the amiibo functionality in this game just breaks all the careful design and balancing that went into it?

You're basically buying cheats.

 

[Pinky]

That's nice, is there a release date for the HD version?

March 4th, I believe. Not sure if that's worldwide.

 

[Mr-Joker]

Looks like I am getting the Ganondorf amiibo.

 

[ElectricKaibutsu]

I will never own an Amiibo. That's for sure.

I also wish they put a smidge more effort in upgrading this game's graphics.

 

[maxcriden]

Whoa, nice find!

Also, for those interested--
cross-posting--

Come on, nobody translated yet the Famitsu article? The screenshots surely look pretty good.

Yes, there's a (partial?) translation:

http://nintendoeverything.com/more-on-amiibo-support-in-zelda-twilight-princess-hd/

Tons of amiibo info here.

Quoting part:

In this area, you cannot revert back to human, so you can’t use the sword, bow, shield or even any healing items, which means this is like a survival challenge. There are 40 basement floors, and when you clear the final floor while having the Giant Wallet, you’ll obtain the Bottomless Wallet. Each floor will have enemies that appear. Depending on the floor, there might be not only enemies, but some gimmicks as well such as tiles that spout lava. The lower you progress, the stronger the enemies will become. And finally about the Bottomless Wallet, the screenshot notes how you can use the Magic Armor for a much longer time with the Rupee limit increase.

Change too much and people complain like Wind Waker HD. Don't change enough and people complain it looks the same.

I don't think Zelda fans even know what they want these days. Where's that Zelda/Miyamoto JPEG?

Personally speaking, I think it looks like a faithful remaster. The Twilight Princess artstyle was never as striking as the Wind Waker to begin with.

Anyway, it's been almost 10 years since I played Twilight Princess from begining to end. Looking forward to it.

I was more than fine with all the changes in WW. TP is not on WW's level. It has severe pacing issues, and is overall so poorly structured. Alot of these problems carried over to Skyward Sword.

 

[Novum_Veritas]

March 4th, I believe. Not sure if that's worldwide.

Thanks, I looked it up 4th March is for Europe and the US as I've seen.

I've always felt the opposite. Wind Waker feels like its missing stuff and sometimes grinds to a halt.

Twilight Princess may have had a long intro but it had a solid structure flowing from one sequence to the next and a lot more cinematic events before the time between dungeons got shorter.

I thought the original WW's lighting was perfect and was somewhat lessened by what was done in WW HD. By contrast, I think TP HD could benefit from more modern lighting.

So I do know what I want, it's just that they did the opposite of what I wanted.

 

[Xav]

It takes forever to get going and the last two dungeons are kind of rubbish but overall I found Twilight Princess to be a stronger game than Wind Waker.

Pacing in all 3D Zelda games could use some work. Hopefully Zelda Wii U/NX learns from A Link Between Worlds with the "Do whatever, go where ever and don't waste time explaining stuff" mentality.

You basically buying cheats.

No, because like cheats and cheat codes they are entirely optional. My goodness half of you guys dont even have the amiibo so why even care?

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

...

Why the HELL would this guy do more damage than the FINAL BOSS!?

Why? Because Zelda games have been an unbalanced mess when it comes to the difficulty levels. It's been that way for a while now.

 

[Movalpolos]

GC controller support for this game please...

 

[Ridley327]

GC controller support for this game please...

Why would you want to play this game on a controller with less buttons?

 

[Pinky]

Thanks, I looked it up 4th March is for Europe and the US as I've seen.

I looked on play-asia and they have the Japanese date set for March 10th.

 

[Solid SOAP]

This amiibo shit is annoying as fuck! I don't wanna have to buy some $15+ toy just to have a reasonably challenging difficulty.

 

[IfAllElseFales]

picked up a Ganondorf Amiibo just in case, can't wait to play this game in Hero Mode with it

 

[Movalpolos]

Why would you want to play this game on a controller with less buttons?

It feels better on a GC controller. Same with WW.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Found my new wallpaper

Same

 

[Ulysses 31]

It feels better on a GC controller. Same with WW.

Aiming and inventory management sure don't feel better with a GC controller.

 

[BetterWorldz]

It does look better to me compared to my initial impressions of the reveal...

Pretty good amiibo implementation I'd say, makes me pretty happy to have my Zelda ones and not really regret having no interest in the wolf one.

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

I looked on play-asia and they have the Japanese date set for March 10th.

This probably doesn't deserve a new thread, but AmiAmi has an exclusive bonus for both TPHD SKUs.

...

In Wind Waker, those big pigs did 3 hearts of damage while Ganondorf did only 1 heart.
