Wind Waker HD Discussion - What might be changing?

GameXplain: "The GameXplain crew discussed Nintendo's recent announcement that The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker is getting the HD treatment for the Wii U later this year. We discuss it's revamped artstyle, how much it might cost, and what changes we hope to see. All this and more in our discussion video!"

Why is everyone expecting changes. It is a HD remake. I think the art style change is just a natural consequence of making this game HD (like you said make it more HD). Apart from that it will be the same game. Some bugs and gameplay flaws will be tweaked but the game will not change because this is just a HD remake. This is just to fill the gap (Nintendo said this themselves). They are not going to much time because they might as well make a Wind Waker sequel

Because they explicitly said they're going to change some parts of the game.

" I think the art style change is just a natural consequence of making this game HD "

Actually the original had more of a flat style on the charracters. Giving it a cartoonish look. While in this version the shaders are completely different. In fact it looks like they used some of Mario galaxies shaders on the characters.

It's not a one on one remake, it has noticable changes.

Perhaps speed up the boat when the wind is right behind you to make travel slightly less tedious.
Make the enemies do more damage to increase the challenge that was lacking in the original.
Add in the dungeons scrapped from the original.
Make the triforce shard section less tedious.
I love Wind Waker and had actually begun replaying it when I heard about the remake, so I instantly stopped.

I'd put Street Fighter 2 over 3. 2 and all its different versions dominated the arcade scene back in the day in a way that 3 never did.

Abear21166d ago

Agreed, Same with Metal Gear Solid imo. Came for Bioshock and was not disappointed. Would easily put Burger Time or Space Taxi over tempest. Also, OG Sim City and Oregon Trail. Mario 64 as well. Just too many!

Never played it I gotta get on this one

Double_O_Revan166d ago

Me too. I didn't have a GC until way later and never played it. I've been waiting on Nintendo to release the HD edition on the Switch for forever, but they just won't!

FinalFantasyFanatic165d ago

I never bought a Gamecube, I've always had an urge to play this game, maybe it'll get a remaster in the future.

LoveSpuds165d ago

I played it on WiiU for the first time and it remains my fave Zelda game to date. So much character and a real sense of exploration without the open world bloat.

Ms Pacman?
Robotron?
SSF2 Turbo over 3 simply by the 10000000000's ports of the game we're still having
Castlevania SOTN?
Zelda Link to the Past over Wind Waker
Super Mario Bros 3?
Chrono Trigger?
Resident evil4?
COD MW2 (the original)?
Uncharted 2
Metal Gear Solid?

Here's my reasoning for all of them versus the list proposed in the article.
They are still quite enjoyable from start to finish on their original platform, unlike some Wind Waker or Okami that are fun when you play the remastered version (unless you call: forced to watch a 20-minute cutscene or have to blow for wind chance constantly fun).
Some of them are the pinnacle of what the console could do (MGS, Chrono, MGS)
Lots of them are still considered the go-to-go game for their genre.

Said it before but Heart of Darkness is truly a timeless gem.
