QA testers really do have it rough
Just lower your expectations some and you'll see it. Most Nintendo games aren't very overachieving right now. They're all heavily rooted in some prior game and Zelda U looks like it is clinging to WW HD as a foundation. I expect it to be more of an ambitious DLC pack for this game right here, Majora's Mask style. Obviously it'll probably do some stuff to differentiate itself and no one will probably be able to tell unless they look close enough. Remove the boat, add a horse and land instead. Maybe re-texture Toon Link into Puppet/Plushie/Claymation/Toy Link.
But at least Nintendo's has the cool name of Mario Club!
I have a feeling you couldn't be more wrong about what's in store.
I'm the opposite. It's a little too clear and sterile for me.
Well we can rest assured that the game is probably not going to look much like Wind Waker HD since we know they were going to show it last E3 and that'd just be weird if it looked the same. People build up some crazy high expectations for the Zelda series to shake-up constantly and I wouldn't expect it now that they are unstable and resources are thin.

Is there no option to go HUDless?

Do we know if the heroes mode is unlocked from the beginning or do we have to play it once and then it unlocks?

HUD can be moved to gamepad.
Available from beginning. Can be turned On/Off at any time in the File Select Screen.

Finally :O took them long enough to have options in a nintendo game
I never played past the beginning of the game, so this year I have WWHD, TP,SS, ALBW and OoT. None of wich I played more then a few hours on
Year of Zelda, baby!no bass in the dragon roost theme
This. This has me really worried, I hope it kicks in later at some point..

Wait, is that in the GameCube version? I heard it just now when I looked it up but don't recall it in the game itself. Does it only appear at certain points?
I've just started replaying it recently and it holds up surprisingly well on my TV than online stills/vids led me to believe. Sure, some textures are noticeably bad, but overall the game still looks beautiful.
HD upscale would look incredible, but I have a feeling Zelda U will look similar to the 2011 tech demo which was essentially TP in HD, so they either won't do TP HD in a long while or not at all. I'd bet they''ve already have MM 3DS in the planning so releasing another remake of game but this time one you can still play on your wii u, would seem a bit lazy.
I think twilight princess has less flaws than windwaker that they would adress in a remake gameplay wise, and with the artstyle upgrading to HD would probably make less of a difference.
And also I think there is a big chance Wii U Zelda will have the artstyle of the tech demo because everyone loved that demo and Nintendo needs this to sell well and probably wont afford the risk to go with an unconventional artstyle.

It looks amazing. Such a timeless art style, 2 gens later and it still looks absolutely stunning. Makes me wish Nintendo used that style in more games, this is the kind of art style that makes games impressive visually even on lower spec hardware. Realistic graphics will always end up looking outdated, the right stylized graphics will always look good.
And Toon Link is so kawaii.

Agree. With WW, they've addressed tons of minor issues that improve the experience as a whole. I'd have to fully replay TP again to see if there's room for any gameplay improvements or overall fine tuning but I can definitely see them trying to appease the TP crowd with Zelda U. They need to attract the biggest possible audience in Wii U's situation so creating TP 2.0 on steroids inspired game would be their best option.
If you watch this vid as an indicator to compare a high res texture pack to the original, it looks good but not a huge improvement. I'd rather see ninty putt all their resources into making Zelda U in a similar style TP to than spending time on TP HD.

Tetra does, surely
No matter how good a realistic game looks at the time, it will look outdated in a few years.

Farther along than we think.
Also, it's not gonna look like the tech demo. Nintendo might not say much but they actually tell us a lot spread over tons of interviews.
But then Aonuma says this a few days after. We're getting mixed messages on this.
Let's be real here, this game is bound to be nintendo's biggest project to date, after Skyward sword. It'll be revealed between january-june next year, aiming for a holiday 2014 release, then it'll get delayed to holiday 2015. However given nintendo's situation with the wii U they might push to get it out as early as possible, but that not like them to release an unpolished, unfinished zelda

Hm, I hadn't seen that LA Times interview before.
Miyamoto always makes games sound closer to being done, Aonuma is always careful and says things are very early. Iwata must be going crazy with those two
I've never played it. I never had a Gamecube.
Yup, I never had a Gamecube so haven't. Pretty excited to though!

Is this orchestra trailer old? Don't remember seeing it before but I haven't kept up with Wind Waker HD too much.

You should play Skyward Sword.Finally :O took them long enough to have options in a nintendo game
ugh don't like the new one.
If they didn't use the orchestrated version of the final boss battle from the 25th Anniversary CD, I'll be sad. It fit so well =(
Also, since the game is done, I think it's finally safe to ask. Do we know if zombie hovering, storage, super swim and all the other speed running glitches are still in the game?
No, we don't. Well, except zombie hovering was working for one of the demo units in June from Best Buy. The Helmaroc setup still worked too (able to Deku leaf past him and etc).
We probably will not know until Cosmo plays it next week (he's going to stream it day 1).

Is he still? I know he said he ordered a Japanese Wii U to be able to play it ASAP but then the NA version got announced as being earlier. The Japanese version won't be out until the 26th.

I like how there's no slowdown here unlike the GameCube version.

There never was a bass in the GC version, either. Only the OST.no bass in the dragon roost theme

I suspect Miyamoto is the more up front of the two. Miyamoto said Zelda Wii U was at a stage they could have shown it at E3 but opted not too. That means its a lot further along then Aonuma is saying.
Aonuma is the cautious guy who doesn't want to get people too hyped in case Miyamoto upends a table and slows everything down a year.
