Digital Foundry:
Performance is largely a solid 30fps in the Wii U remaster. Even taxing areas like the Hyrule plains run without any drops - with only Faron Woods' use of alpha transparencies causing issues.
Nintendo is a weird company. It has the most illustrious legacy of any single company in the medium and seldom chooses to take advantage of that fact. Countless classics are confined to their original platforms or only available through outdated retail models or a cheeky bit of emulation.
This holiday would've been great and it would've calmed my hunger for tears of the kingdom. It supposedly exists but why has it taken this long I wonder. Here's hoping it still releases before totk, maybe a trailer at the game awards and a shadow drop.
Wii U was such a great to play every 3D Zelda game and various 2D ones as well
It'd be nice if Switch caught up to that wealth of legacy content
Booted up WW HD through emulation on Deck. Forgot how much I like that game, it's so charming with how expressive Link is. Ninty has taken too long.
Nintendo wants the focus on tears of the kingdom. Though with these year Zelda old rumors I question if the collection ever existed for the Switch. Much like the Prime Trilogy that evolved into a remake or remaster of just Prime 1 in recent months.
The best Legend of Zelda games experiment and tackle new grounds for the industry. These are the essential titles in the series you need to play.
I am a huge Zelda fan and love them all, but for me Ocarina Of Time is the greatest and my second all time favourite game after Final Fantasy VII.
Oh gee can't imagine what Number 1 is
....
A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker etc is better than Breath of the Wild.
Majora's Mask still holds as my favorite to this day, despite being the black sheep of the series.
I love them all, but Wind Walker, Link to the Past and Minish Cap are my favorites
Alex S. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "Over their 35 years of existence, these games have delivered some of gaming’s most powerful and memorable moments. So as we wrap up our own Zelda week here at Link Cable Gaming and look forward to how Nintendo will celebrate the year, we wanted to take a look back at the best moments from The Legend of Zelda franchise."
Looking forward to its release next month.
Worth the wait!
It's weird because the original one gives more of a gloomy effect. Like almost a dream sequence. Not saying the textures look better, it just has a better "feel" of atmosphere i guess. Imo obviously.
Even with all the whining from fans, it actually impressed Digital Foundry. I'm surprised, considering these guys can be pretty blunt for the most part.
Tantalus did a good job considering that this was only done because Zelda U got delayed. That means this was more than likely whipped up in roughly one year; not bad at all.
This series is begging for a collection.
My favorite game is almost here. TBH I love all the Zelda games!
