Preview: The Wind Waker HD is a slick HD update - Canada.com

Go back and play Twilight Princess. Then Play Wind Waker. Which GameCube-era Zelda title has stood the test of time better? Most gamers would probably say Wind Waker, especially in terms of visuals. They’re timeless.

I was impressed with the graphics. The Hd update makes a huge difference (not that the original Wind Waker looked bad).

One of my favourite console titles of all time. Great news to hear that this is getting some next-gen TLC.

ZeekQuattro4728d ago

I've always been a fan of WW. Seeing the various expressions on Links face was half the fun and I loved the ship segments despite many disliking them. This game is a must have for any Zelda fan. I'll be picking up the LTTP 2 game as well for the 3DS.

It's also a very bright update... The bloom lighting... It hurts me eyes.

DarkBlood4728d ago

pretty sure that wont be the case upon playing it in person. either way theres always the adjusting brightness option

AsheXII4728d ago

its called global illumination, not bloom. Bloom is called to a poor lighting simulation where even the textures emanate light, global illumination is light where it should be.

The light in WW HD makes the colors feel more vivid and alive, makes the sunse feel more authentic, and the daytime emanate the right temperature.

Have you ever been outside on a bright and sunny day where you have to squint to see because the sun is so bright ?

It happens in real life...this is the game version of that.

AznGaara4728d ago

Thats great but did this game honestly need that? It was perfect the way it was.

PigPen4728d ago

I agree, it does look good.

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.

Abear21940d 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!

Abear21940d ago

Never played it I gotta get on this one

Double_O_Revan940d 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!

FinalFantasyFanatic940d 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.

LoveSpuds939d 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.
