Meh.

They still look like f*cking queers.

I really really really like Wind Waker. It's my favorite Zelda (although Link's Awakening is a very close second).

That being said, I'm not sure I care about this. Those brown gritty Zelda games like Twitight Princess seem like they would benifit so much more from an HD remake than Wind Waker, which is already very bright and has such basic shapes and stuff.

Didn't people want a Majora's Mask remake, not a Wind Waker remake?

Hell.  I'll take it!  I loved Windwaker

Didn't people want a Majora's Mask remake, not a Wind Waker remake?

I know I certainly did.

MM = best zelda.

[KingDrool]

I'd love a Majora's Mask remake on 3DS, similar to the Ocarina one.

I'm not sure that this needs an HD remake as it still looks so f*cking good. But I'll take it. One of my favorite games ever.

I didn't enjoy Majoras  Mask at all.

Wind Waker is my second favorite Zelda game, after the original...  and I acknowledge the original is my favorite mainly due to nostalgia and gameplay-wise Wind Waker is the best game in the series.

With that said, I don't know how much of a need there is for this game?  The GC still looks great, and there are older games in the series that would benefit more from an update.  Worst of all, I will HAVE to buy it, so this is a cruel way to take my money.

It seems that Nintendo wants to add stuff to this game.  If they add a few dungeons or something of merit, then I will be happy.  Ocarina of Time 3DS was basically a straight up port, so I hope they do better than that.

A lot of people will buy it just because they want it on a system with an HDMI port, sad but true.

Still looks f*cking incredible on GameCube, IMO. A new version would have "more" but I don't want more. One of the many things I love about this game is that it never goes into "too much" territory. It never bores me. It's not 70 hours long with a billion stupid things to collect, or items to fuse, or weapons to grind, or any of that crap. It's just awesome for the extent that its awesome and then it gets out of the way. Its not a collection of shit you have to do, its stuff you WANT to do. Even the stealth mission is astonishingly tolerable for a stealth mission (and I HATE stealth shit).

Interesting.  I loved OoT, passed over Majora's Mask, and have tried a couple of times to get into Wind Waker, but never got very far.  You guys are making me want to give it another chance (I've always held onto it thinking I'd give it another shot).

Why are the graphics still 4:3?

EDIT: Nevermind, missed the horizontal scroll bar.

Its not a collection of shit you have to do, its stuff you WANT to do.

You want to sail excessively ?

[SignOfZeta]

I love the sailing. I never understood why I'm the only person that does.

But then, I f*cking hate tOoT. Its a shit brown field I'm constantly getting lost in. Riding a blurry horse around in blurry circles trying to find that blurry town I've already been to three times but for some reason can't locate anymore...most people love that game.

I guess Zelda is many things to many people.

Regardless, I never found the sailing "excessive". You just look at the map, point the boat that direction, and it goes straight there. You don't even have to hold the controller. I suppose the grind lovers will spend all day fishing for...whatever is in the ocean, and driving themselves crazy. I wasn't compelled to do this so those people only hurt themselves, IMO.
