Wind Waker on the 3DS would've been fantastic

So I was lying there in my sofa, with a fever and realizing how much I would've enjoyed to play Wind Waker then and there.

Since I don't have my Wii or Gamecube here, and since I don't like playing Wii-games on my HDTV, I just thought that it would've been amazing to have it on the 3DS.

I actually do think that Nintendo's on to something with the Wii U as long as it's accesible just picking up the controller and starting a game.

And also, of course I want Majoras Mask 3DS too, since I consider it the best Zelda game, so don't fret, I wont stop your petition.

Also, RTTP Wind Waker or something.

That Windfall Island. <3
 
Personally, I'm holding out for a HD Zelda Wii U Collection with Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, and Skyward Sword.

Hell, I'd buy any of those games individually for a reasonable price (~$20) if they were HDified by Nintendo themselves.

Yes, I'm aware of Dolphin.
 
"would've been"?

the 3DS will still be out for the next 5 years. That's plenty of time for Wind Waker to head on over there. I prefer a Wii U release myself though.
 
When I first read this title I was about to flip.

While wind waker is an awesome console game, an awesome handheld game it would not make without some radical changes. Yes, on the 3DS (and especially 3DS XL) screen in 3D, this game would look absolutely gorgeous, and feel so immersive, but gameplay wise, this game is too big. It has that feeling of not wanting to quit while you're playing, but with battery life and what not, you will have to. They'd have to make something like the owl statues from Majora's Mask, where it'll save at the EXACT spot you're at, and put them throughout all temples. Next, the islands would have to be closer, the sea in WW is HUGE, takes a while to get from one island to another, so shrinking them would make it so that you're battery doesn't die while you're on the sea as often.
 
I'd rather have Majora's Mask over Wind Waker on 3DS.

It would be cool if they made 3D remakes of Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons, too.
 
Yeah yeah, new Zelda. After Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks I have such faith in... oh just give me Wind Waker you bastards. I will buy two copies and swallow the extra if that's what it takes. Just let me have it.
 
I'd prefer it on the next handheld (if there is one); bit more power.
Never know - Gamecube is the N64 - Windwaker might get a DD release :o on WiiU!

Agree on the 'accessible' angle; its why I love handhelds. Other games first for me :)
(Still, wouldn't say no to a new 3DS Zelda with Windwaker Style - wouldn't say no at all :D)
 
On the subject, I'm thinking of trading in my 3DS and buying a 3DS XL tomorrow, and I wonder if I can just take out the SD Card and put it in the new one and have all of my Ambassador games transferred?

You need to have both systems and go to 'system transfer' in settings and transfer all the data across. The games will still be on the SD card but the info allowing you to 'use' them is now on the new system.

Some shops will allow you to do a transfer in store I believe.

Well the store I'm planning on trading it in has the best offering but the most expensive XL.

I thought I could go there, trade it in, use the money and buy it for maybe 25$ less on the internet.

Well that's a shame.

Too bad Nintendo haven't catched up with the whole infrastructure of the internet.
 
This reminds me ...

Once I heard legends about Dolphin enabling 3D for games that Nintendo started having the idea for the 3DS ... like Metroid Prime.

So ... this means that it might be possible to have Wind Waker screenshots in 3D... I guess

It is a possibility they are either making Majora 3D or a new sequel to Link to the Past for the next 3DS game.

I thought Miyamoto's idea was for an ALttP remake, not sequel? Can't say I'm interested in either, or Majora 3D (I've made an argument for why the game wouldn't be better served by an OoT3D style upgrade, but I generally get laughed out the thread, so I'll save my breath here).

The idea of making a new game out of remains of an old one is so interesting to me, though, so I would love for them to go down that path again. Majora's Mask is my favourite game ever, mind, so my expectations would be sky high.
 
Wind Waker is popular on twitch right now, would be the perfect time to release a port if they had it under wraps but I doubt they do.

No, miyamoto and aonuma were saying they were considering making another title in the same style as ALttP it was neither meant to be a remake or sequel. There were two or three interviews where he has stated as such. People thought he meant a remake due to the translation.

Oh, OK, buggered by mistranslation once again. Thanks for clearing that up.

I'm still not interested in a "new" ALttP though, I could never get into that game. I guess I just suck. :lol

Majora's Mask 3DS it is then!

The only reason I actually do want them to revisit Wind Waker is so they can put in those extra dungeons and modify the triforce hunt, making it officially the greatest 3D Zelda ever and putting to bed that argument once and for all

Pretty much. That said, I think Wind Waker graphics should come back to home consoles. I think it's a shame using them on handhelds, they can really shine on something with bigger capabilities.

With the 3DS, I bet it'd be powerful enough to do that visual style justice. The DS games though... *vomit*

The incredible demand for Majora always astounds me. Intensely average game.

In the parallel universe where the only games that exist are Majora's Mask and Link's Awakening?

The DS games' failure to replicate the visual style was by no means their biggest problem.

And how dare you put Link's Awakening, the best game ever, in the same category as Majora's Mask :P
