Hyrule Castle in The Wind Waker HD Could Look Like This

All of us here at Zelda Informer are looking forward to The Wind Waker HD, which really is just around the corner for it's arrival later this year. Fellow fan, Max Savage, has been hard at work recreating Hyrule Castle from the game with all new HD models. What you see is just one of six examples he has provided us to share with the world, and Zelda Informer must say that it looks pretty good so far. So good, we wonder if The Wind Waker HD is going to be able to surpass it. That being said, we really want to see what he has done with the inside, which is likely something he will get to us at a later date.

That looks so awesome. But wouldn't it look better if it looks a lot more realistic?

The Great Melon4047d ago (Edited 4047d ago )

Realism isn't everything. There is still room for fantastical artistic direction in world where photo-realism fast being a capability. Just look at Pixar movies versus Avatar. Both are almost entirely CG, but one eschews photo-realism. Despite this difference both are still enjoyable.

If anything I would say that the images in the link as they are are a little simplistic. But that's just because we are looking at static models. Adding some characters, animals, sounds, etc. would help the enhance the immersion as with any game.

That's wishful thinking but it'll most likely just have an up'ed res, lighting and textures.

We already no what it will look like. Nitnendo releaed screenshots when it was first announced. Articles like this are pointless.

Honestly I really changed my mind on Fi with the remaster because they didn't make her interrupt your gameplay every 5 seconds, that drastically changed my views on her

Inverno76d ago

Technically she's in ToTK but obviously can't take any other form than the sword she was made into. Also the companion feature has been done plenty of times in Zelda, I don't think it'll add anything new. If anything should be brought back it should be the Minish.

Matt from We Game Daily writes "The Legend of Zelda series has gone in a different direction. One which, try as I have, I just can’t get on board with. Here is why I think Zelda should return to its 3D roots."

Amen! A good, tight, Zelda game with a focus on dungeons and puzzles. Let people have the new style Zelda if you gotta, but let us have the OoT style games too. That's not without precedent either, the handheld 2D Zelda's in the style of A Link to the Past etc have coexisted alongside the 3D Zelda's before

As much as I like BoTW, TotK, I need my traditional Zelda games as well, I could not endlessly play the open world Zelda games, plus it's harder to keep those fresher than the traditional games.

Eidolon107d ago (Edited 107d ago )

BotW was just as fresh to the franchise as OoT was. TokT was great but the next LoZ would have to move from that formula to be fresh again. There's only so much they can do with the hardware. I think they focused too much on making the world big instead impactful. I felt the world was sort of empty and repetitive in TotK, sure there was a lot to do but no more difference a Ubisoft game..

I wouldn't worry too much. Nintendo knows what they are doing.

Ristul107d ago

Wind Waker had a perfect balance of open world and a cool, well hand-crafted design. Maybe try to keep the open world but put in effort to make more memorable story driven quests and locations.

I like it would also be cool if some created Dragon Caesar in the game I would love to watch the two going at it.
