Idk why TP is so universally underrated. I’ve played all the mainline Zelda entries and TP has been always been my favorite by far. It’s the ultimate classic Zelda experience.
while it is an amazing game, it is hardly the best. everyone says that crap about new games in a series. but ocarina of time and link to the past are so much better.
Tanika's Misadventures I may not agree with the statement: “best Zelda game”, I would consider it to be in my top three. The game is a masterpiece of gaming and the dungeons are well designed. The wolf combat is dull but that’s really my only grime with this game. I’d consider it to be my second favourite legend of Zelda game 1. breath of the wild 2. *Twilight princess* 3. Wind waker
+noobb1212 Wind Waker HD was also just a HD update but that looked brilliant. I hate people always trying to excuse Nintendo for their shortcomings. I love Twilight Princess HD. It has some brilliant additions, and the graphical update isn't that bad, but Nintendo definitely could have taken some more time for this, Right now, I could get a better looking game on Dolphin with some texture packs.
+BobTheJoeBob meh to each their own, I would still much rather play on authentic Nintendo hardware over emulated PC stuff anyway... I've seen stuff played on Dolphin... It's no big deal?... Sure it runs stuff at higher Rez and you can tweak this and that if you care that much to? Me I play games for the games then I'll look at the graphics... This is exactly what is stated, a remaster not "remake" and wind waker did look brilliant in HD but that game looked brilliant on the cube!! That's the thing about cartoon cell shaded graphics! Night and day difference between those graphics and TP graphics...
ChevyJP86 This is what I'm talking about.. Rather than criticise Nintendo for their shortcomings, people rush to make excuses for them. "Gameplay is more important than graphics." "It's a remaster not a 'remake' " When modders who make texture packs in their spare time, for free, are doing a better job than Nintendo, then Nintendo are doing something wrong. End of story.
+BobTheJoeBob not making an excuse whatsoever I'm saying people are to dam picky and are never EVER happy!! That's critics in a nutshell really... No excuses made man or even needed! At least it's not a remaster of a game that was done a year ago!! It's been 10 years with this game so you can see a huge difference from the original! And Nintendo in my opinion is just better played on the actual hardware! I won't emulate unless I absolutely have no choice, that's me..
+itsKingLos Hopefully it doesn't be a big part of Nintendo's E3 2016. Nintendo E3 2015 was ruined partly due to too much attention given to amiibo's over games. Anyone who remembers how poorly Yoshi's Woolly World was introduced and the lack of screen time for other major titles like Xenoblade Chronicles is heavily due to amiibo's.
Jose's favourite game is Wind Waker, and he knows his stuff when it comes to Zelda. This was a fair and honest review that points out the flaws with Twilight Princess generally and how most of us we're a bit underwhelmed by the graphics since it wasn't anything like the 2011 tech demo.
i think 2011 tech demo Link might be in smash 3ds. TP Link's model there looks extremelly similar to that tech demo iirc, not the wii u version of smash bros, but 3ds
@@mpforeverunlimited that being said some of the games that are classics, should not get an update. you wouldn't take chrono trigger give it a new face lift and say it's better, simply because the appeal to the game was the style of graphic the game was made in.
Here's what I would've done with Twilight Princess HD: Production Values: 1) Compose an orchestrated soundtrack, but allow the MIDI soundtrack as an option. 2) Add trees, grass, roaming animals, vegetation, and some wind to Hyrule Field 3) Make the overworld darker during night time 4) Mountains and hills gain more polygons and better textures Core Gameplay: 1) Make the goat herding tutorials optional 2) Make all 3 Tears of Light sections optionally skippable 3) Add a temporary save statue on each floor of a dungeon 4) Add more horse whistles throughout the overworld. 5) Add a quest logue in the menu 6) Epona's dash refreshes 20% more quickly while out of combat 7) Link swims 20% faster 8) Wolf Link gains more attacks and abilities Item Buffing: 1) Slingshot has infinite ammo and increased firing speed 2) Spinner moves faster off-rail, inflicts some damage and stuns enemies 3) Ball & Chain has less start lag and less end lag Difficulty: 1) Give all common enemies 1.5x health, 1.5x damage and 1.25 moving speed 2) In Hyrule Field, there are twice as many enemies, plus added hazards in several areas Overworld: 1) Hyrule Field has a dozen new secret cave entrances accessible by solving item based puzzles 2) In the caves, are a horde of enemies, a new puzzle to solve and a treasure chest containing a costume for Link 3) These treasure chests contain 1 of 100 random possible costumes, you can trade them with people online. 4) Hyrule Field contains several merchant stands: a potion shop, a bomb/arrow shop, a shop selling shield/sword upgrades, a few mini-games and other surprises 5) In the Lake Hylia cannon, for 100 rupees, you can warp to hard to access places you've already visited. Boss Fights: 1) Fyrus (Goron Mines) -- Fiery bokoblins and archer enemies harass the player 2) Zant (Palace of Twilight) -- Inflicts 1.5x the damage on the player 3) Armagohma (Temple of Time) -- Spiders and insects harass the player. Also spinning blades surround the room. 4) Ganondorf -- Has 1.5x health, inflicts 2.0x damage and can counterattack common exploits. 5) Deku Toad - (Lakebed Temple miniboss) is stunned for a shorter period of time
That's a bit too much change imo. The game was meant to be a simple reskin, if you change the core game play so much you alienate the fans of the original. It could've worked for hero mode maybe, but nintendo only had so much time to make it.

Ryan Clay The changes to the Tears of Light did nothing. You still had to backtrack the ENTIRE AREA. It made a the 40 minute side quest into a 30 minute side quest. They should have just taken it out.
I love this game so much. I'm gonna buy it as soon as I can on March 4th. But I will admit they could have done more, I mean, I'm exited as hell, but maybe they could have updated more models. Doesn't stop it from being my favourite loz game though.
the originals is more darker than this version, which kills the whole vibe of the game for me, its one of my top 3 Zelda games but this HD remake does not do it justice
+JCrv Like I responded to another guy with a similar comment. Did you not listen to the review? Just because only one con is listed in the summary at the end, doesn't mean it's the only issue that plagues the game or that the pro's are strong enough to justify a higher score. Did you not hear the complaints about one-off items (like the Spinner) or the slow opening?
dragonwarriorz1 I don't, and I'm a gamer, but lets be fair. They do so because they feel that people have not fairly thought about a product before making a judgement call.
I really wish they would have added more realistic lighting to this game like they did with Wind Waker HD. Wind Waker has incredibly stylized visuals, but with the improved lighting, the world feels much more real in spite of this. The way light hits objects in Wind Waker HD just looks fantastic. If they did the same in TP HD, I think the visuals would look more up to par with today's standards, but it would probably change the atmosphere in certain areas, so they probably opted not to alter the original too much.
Put them side by side and the difference is pretty insane. This game is nothing more than what you'd expect it to look like when running on dolphin but the detail in the original game is far less.
Twilight Princess is the best game ever made in my opinion, a MASTERPIECE, a WORK OF ART. They could have done more with the graphics. Look at Wind Waker HD. They could've upgraded the shaders, the lighting in general, and overhauled the textures. They can't just slap a couple of new textures on in spots and up the resolution and call it an "HD Remake". As a person who has played TP several times through, and racked up about 400 hours total, I'm really disappointed in this. I can hardly see a difference between this and the original. Shame.
Bought it and love it. It definetly does look alot better then what you see through vidoes of gameplay. its just one of those things you need to experience personally on your tv and then youll understand. Still my 2nd favorite title in the series.
It is only upscaled in resolution and some slight texture work. It does not run at 60FPS and the graphics were reused rather than remastering/overhauling it.
There was a poll asking which Zelda game to get rid of and most people said this game, his game is severely underrated for how well the story is. The gameplay, and the overall mechanics
For me, I didn't really like playing this game without a notched octagon GameCube joystick. Sometimes it's easy to miss jumps because link is either going slightly left or slightly right. I heard they modified the controls but it doesn't feel like it.
The resolution has been increased from 480p to 1080p, the textures have been improved, you can make use of the gamepad for a few things like aiming weapons and equipping inventory, there’s hero mode which is basically hard mode, amiibo support and a new optional dungeon that can be unlocked by using the Wolf Link amiibo, I’d say pick this version up
Get a reviewer who knows what their talking about he said this game was for the gamecube when its sole purpose was for the wii. The wii version came out is November 2006 the a GameCube version was released after in December
I can agree that the lack of lights casting shadows is a big drawback, especially after I played Majora's Mask 3d version on the tv, which looks fantastic imo. I'm still not sure if I should get it or not, very tempting but the price is still pretty steep.
Imo it’s hands down the best one out there, it may lack in graphical performance, but it’s by far the best Zelda visually. The design and colors are just far better
Only con was the graphics and it got 8.6. I haven't played a Zelda game that was below a 9 in my life. Think this holds up well and even though they didn't put as much into the graphics as Wind Waker's update, I think it still looks amazing.
Man I really hope Skyward Sword gets an update like this too, maybe even on the NX. I would love to play that game in HD, its graphics are way more suited for an HD remaster - like Wind Waker was, plus I would just love to play the game without motion controls being forced upon me..
As someone who just acquired a new wii u just to have a LOZ marathon, and who has also never beat this game, this remake is more than welcome. Had it one day and Im already in Goron Village.
Does seem a slightly lower score for a few missing shadows. I think in a recent voice chat Jose questioned the need for a remake of this game at the time. It looks like that feeling is reflected in the score. There is no consistency in the reviews, like others have said, how can the latest COD receive a higher score for such a dire game?
Do you think Nintendo would make better games if reviewers gave them harsher and more honest criticism? Do not get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoy Twilight Princess but after seeing the updates done to Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker, and Majora's Mask this seems very lazy. I was actually suprised Jose cited issues with the graphical "clean-ups" considering he defends Nintendo games often on Voice Chat. I just feel like Nintendo gets away with putting out inferior games because of the nostalgic reputation they have built. It's why they can put an interation of "New Super Mario Bros." on every single one of their consoles. Why does this keep happening? I would like to see Nintendo take more chances and stop cashing in on jaded icons.
I think the controls are the selling point for me, that and it was a good game no surprise there. I really like these hd zelda games. i hope they do skyawrd sword didn't beat it because of the controls.
As a HD port, I think an 8.6 is fair enough. They didn't do much aside from update a few textures and up-scale to 1080p, not as drastic an update as Wind Waker HD, which almost looks completely different.
There are two types of people that should buy this game. the zelda fanatic and the people who missed it the first time around and have not played this game . So not me i have played the game before on the wii and im not a fanatic zelda guy
You should definitely get a backwards compatible Wii, or a GameCube, or both! Amazing consoles that don't really get the credit they deserve. I can list so many awesome games on the GameCube alone... F-Zero GX, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, Four Swords Adventures, Mario Party's always good, Double Dash, Metroid Prime 1 & 2, Super Mario Sunshine, Resident Evil remakes, Resident Evil 4, Pikman 1 & 2... the list goes on!
Hey. I realy need anser her:) i gona get wii u to play this hd remeke on the samsung 4k tv will it work for me? Coz older games looks bad on 4k tv. Its this reameke patcht to 4k?
+MrEpicRobot they're not being lazy, they're just picking a style that will suit the game. Look at breath of the wild, it looks gorgeous and has so much content.
Zelda Twilight Princess was perfect on GameCube and pretty good on Wii. But it's even better on Wii U. IGN scores don't mean anything at all to me but I like hearing other people's opinions. Anyways, this is the very last time that we will ever see the one true Link...the lefty Link.
Boku9765 Pretty sure the 3DS is between the Gamecube and Wii in terms of power, the New 3DS would probably be able to run it, not too great maybe but still.
This is my favorite zelda game, but now i´m playing wind waker hd and remembering how fantastic the game is and I really love the story from that game soo... Wind waker vs Twilight Princess, which game is better? Wind waker is the best HD remastered I´ve played and this hd... not worth it.
Love the wii u for this game and windwaker hd. Now all we need is a remake of skyward sword. Hell id just take any version of skyward sword without motion controls.
Hmmm...Gamecube, Got both Windwaker and Twilight Princess, add the hard to get NES Zeldas and OOT HD with Master Quest plus two Metroid games and two starfox games. WiiU only has two Zelda Remakes from said gamecube, No Starfox, No Metroid.... And Nintendo has board meetings on figuring out why the WiiU is selling so poorly compared to it's older systems....
It was a fantastic game relative to the time. It's still good, but a lot of bigger, better games have come out in those 10 years. I assume you're a young'un if you're surprised by that notion.
yes but not from ign, but from game informer, game trailers, x play, gamespy, and other sites. and won many goty awards, and Is the most critically acclaimed game of 2006.
when windwaker got a HD remake nobody hated on it. but with twilight princess alot of people are. I'm I missing something because the HD for windwaker didn't seem that different aswell
+bungi fish Wind Waker HD had a lot more time and effort put into it. TP HD just looks better. They should have given it the Wind Waker HD treatment and actually messed with some of the character models and improved the shading and lighting everywhere.
+bungi fish The upgrade in its graphics werent as significant. Windwaker had higher poly models, an upgraded lightinig engine, remodeled some areas entirely, higher res textures, etc. This remakes only really big change are the textures.
Why would they get Jose to review this? He has said many times he's not a big fan of it and didnt think it should have gotten a remake. Why wouldn't they get someone who has no expectations going in?
+Boogie Cousins Well... because... "he's not a big fan of it and didnt think it should have gotten a remake". Though annoying, this makes sense for an HD remake. Those of us who love the game, don't need much coaxing, its those who are like he is that need to know what this is going to be for them.

Not enough shadows in a game about "Twilight" 8.6/10
😂😂
Here's what I would've done with Twilight Princess HD:
Production Values:
1) Compose an orchestrated soundtrack, but allow the MIDI soundtrack as an option.
2) Add trees, grass, roaming animals, vegetation, and some wind to Hyrule Field
3) Make the overworld darker during night time
4) Mountains and hills gain more polygons and better textures
Core Gameplay:
1) Make the goat herding tutorials optional
2) Make all 3 Tears of Light sections optionally skippable
3) Add a temporary save statue on each floor of a dungeon
4) Add more horse whistles throughout the overworld.
5) Add a quest logue in the menu
6) Epona's dash refreshes 20% more quickly while out of combat
7) Link swims 20% faster
8) Wolf Link gains more attacks and abilities
Item Buffing:
1) Slingshot has infinite ammo and increased firing speed
2) Spinner moves faster off-rail, inflicts some damage and stuns enemies
3) Ball & Chain has less start lag and less end lag
Difficulty:
1) Give all common enemies 1.5x health, 1.5x damage and 1.25 moving speed
2) In Hyrule Field, there are twice as many enemies, plus added hazards in several areas
Overworld:
1) Hyrule Field has a dozen new secret cave entrances accessible by solving item based puzzles
2) In the caves, are a horde of enemies, a new puzzle to solve and a treasure chest containing a costume for Link
3) These treasure chests contain 1 of 100 random possible costumes, you can trade them with people online.
4) Hyrule Field contains several merchant stands: a potion shop, a bomb/arrow shop, a shop selling shield/sword upgrades, a few mini-games and other surprises
5) In the Lake Hylia cannon, for 100 rupees, you can warp to hard to access places you've already visited.
Boss Fights:
1) Fyrus (Goron Mines) -- Fiery bokoblins and archer enemies harass the player
2) Zant (Palace of Twilight) -- Inflicts 1.5x the damage on the player
3) Armagohma (Temple of Time) -- Spiders and insects harass the player. Also spinning blades surround the room.
4) Ganondorf -- Has 1.5x health, inflicts 2.0x damage and can counterattack common exploits.
5) Deku Toad - (Lakebed Temple miniboss) is stunned for a shorter period of time

“Lackluster graphics”
Of course it has lackluster graphics IGN.
ITS A REMASTER OF A GODDAMN GAMECUBE GAME!!!
Wii game
@@TheBoltrower wii game was a remaster of the original gamecube game
honestly besides remaking the game completely, yeah what did they kind of expect, nintendo was just cleaning the game up.
Maarten Hogerheyde Wii version was a port, not a remaster
Still the best Zelda game in the Series!
so HD remasters only con was bad HD graphics.. lol ok
No its only con was shadows
My personal favorite Zelda. love that game. I'm so glad they made a GameCube version back in the day. wasn't buying a Wii u for it.
It is only upscaled in resolution and some slight texture work. It does not run at 60FPS and the graphics were reused rather than remastering/overhauling it.
Still my favourite Zelda and Nintendo game *-*
Twilight Princess was my favorite Zelda game when I was a teenager. Hopefully it's aged well.
There was a poll asking which Zelda game to get rid of and most people said this game, his game is severely underrated for how well the story is. The gameplay, and the overall mechanics
if i didn't know any better, id be asking what dolphin skin this was
For me, I didn't really like playing this game without a notched octagon GameCube joystick. Sometimes it's easy to miss jumps because link is either going slightly left or slightly right. I heard they modified the controls but it doesn't feel like it.
Not every game has to be modern for you to enjoy it and my experiences with twilight princess still has me get my wii version back out and playing it
I might get this and retire my old version on the Wii...
Wii U one looks great...And I feel it looks better and will have better gameplay...
The resolution has been increased from 480p to 1080p, the textures have been improved, you can make use of the gamepad for a few things like aiming weapons and equipping inventory, there’s hero mode which is basically hard mode, amiibo support and a new optional dungeon that can be unlocked by using the Wolf Link amiibo, I’d say pick this version up
One of the best and my most favorite just after Mejora's Mask
No doubt oot, majoras mask and twilight princess are the best games
7.8/10 Not enough shadows - IGN
Get a reviewer who knows what their talking about he said this game was for the gamecube when its sole purpose was for the wii. The wii version came out is November 2006 the a GameCube version was released after in December
hate to burst your bubble but it was a GC game first and ported to Wii last second, hence why the Wii version is flipped horizontally.
How does an improved version of the game get a lower rating
They probably changed their minds about the original version, or the two reviewers of IGN have different opinions. Sorry! I don’t know how IGN works.
Because it’s still a 2006 game that’s aged?…
I can agree that the lack of lights casting shadows is a big drawback, especially after I played Majora's Mask 3d version on the tv, which looks fantastic imo. I'm still not sure if I should get it or not, very tempting but the price is still pretty steep.
Twilight princess needs a sequel! Breathe of the wild got one but not twilight princess because it’s so underrated
Bro, twilight princess, skywards sword and ocarina of time they all had a huge impact on me. Especially Twilight princess, my fav game EVER.
Imo it’s hands down the best one out there, it may lack in graphical performance, but it’s by far the best Zelda visually. The design and colors are just far better
Still an amazing game all these years later!
This guy is the worst reviewer at ign. And that's saying something!
+Fredrick Fazzleton He had some legitimate complaints with the game.
Quite being salty over your favorite zelda game not getting a 10/10
no this deserves a 9.5 out of 10 how are the graphichs LACKLUSTER
This version actually has much better frame rate and non screen tearing unlike the previous versions plus the texture detail looks worlds better.
The frame rate is the same
its a bit worrying that the one con is lackluster graphics, isnt that like the MAIN thing an HD remaster is supposed to do?
Only con was the graphics and it got 8.6. I haven't played a Zelda game that was below a 9 in my life. Think this holds up well and even though they didn't put as much into the graphics as Wind Waker's update, I think it still looks amazing.
I was thinking the same about the windwaker hd update but I think cell shaded games are a lot easier to transfer to hd
play the cdi-games
One of my favorite Zelda games! Love this remaster!
Man I really hope Skyward Sword gets an update like this too, maybe even on the NX. I would love to play that game in HD, its graphics are way more suited for an HD remaster - like Wind Waker was, plus I would just love to play the game without motion controls being forced upon me..
As someone who just acquired a new wii u just to have a LOZ marathon, and who has also never beat this game, this remake is more than welcome. Had it one day and Im already in Goron Village.
Twilight Princess >♾ BOTW
Don't bother trying to change my mind. It won't work.
Old graphics, new graphics.. Still the best Zelda to me and a solid game.
Does seem a slightly lower score for a few missing shadows. I think in a recent voice chat Jose questioned the need for a remake of this game at the time. It looks like that feeling is reflected in the score. There is no consistency in the reviews, like others have said, how can the latest COD receive a higher score for such a dire game?
Do you think Nintendo would make better games if reviewers gave them harsher and more honest criticism?
Do not get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoy Twilight Princess but after seeing the updates done to Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker, and Majora's Mask this seems very lazy. I was actually suprised Jose cited issues with the graphical "clean-ups" considering he defends Nintendo games often on Voice Chat. I just feel like Nintendo gets away with putting out inferior games because of the nostalgic reputation they have built. It's why they can put an interation of "New Super Mario Bros." on every single one of their consoles. Why does this keep happening? I would like to see Nintendo take more chances and stop cashing in on jaded icons.
You know why is different, because Nintendo didn't do the remaster, it was produced by other studios.
same, I feel like Nintendo gets caught up in their hubris due to previous accomplishments and of late has really failed to innovate.
PLZ come to the switch also
I think the controls are the selling point for me, that and it was a good game no surprise there. I really like these hd zelda games. i hope they do skyawrd sword didn't beat it because of the controls.
As a HD port, I think an 8.6 is fair enough. They didn't do much aside from update a few textures and up-scale to 1080p, not as drastic an update as Wind Waker HD, which almost looks completely different.
Wish this was on the Switch duuuuuuuudeee!
There are two types of people that should buy this game. the zelda fanatic and the people who missed it the first time around and have not played this game .
So not me i have played the game before on the wii and im not a fanatic zelda guy
Thank you some one finally understands me. Unfortunately I never owned a Wii or Game cube.
You should definitely get a backwards compatible Wii, or a GameCube, or both! Amazing consoles that don't really get the credit they deserve.
I can list so many awesome games on the GameCube alone... F-Zero GX, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, Four Swords Adventures, Mario Party's always good, Double Dash, Metroid Prime 1 & 2, Super Mario Sunshine, Resident Evil remakes, Resident Evil 4, Pikman 1 & 2... the list goes on!
I adore this game! 😎
Best soundtrack in the series
Hey. I realy need anser her:) i gona get wii u to play this hd remeke on the samsung 4k tv will it work for me? Coz older games looks bad on 4k tv. Its this reameke patcht to 4k?
i love the game, i just wanst a fan of the last temple (twilight realm) because of that stupid hand that gave me anxiety.
Omg me too. When I was little I couldn't even beat that part. I had to get my dad to do it for me.
Should be a 8 at best, this was a really bad remaster.
Just play the definitive version on PC at 60fps and 4K with better textures than this.
+Staticz How can you play this on PC if it's only on GameCube, Wii and Wii U
+Apollo Justice Emulation is a beautiful thing.
Staticz Oh, kinda forgot about that
+Staticz yea I played on the dolphin emulator it looked great
i want a big open world zelda that looks like the Wii U tech demo, but also able to turn into a wolf
wut
+Werewolf that's called Skyrim.
+Jordan Springer that tech demo looks way better then skyrim
+MrEpicRobot they're not being lazy, they're just picking a style that will suit the game. Look at breath of the wild, it looks gorgeous and has so much content.
so they tweaked the controls for the wii u. I've never had a wii u. Are the controls better or worse?
Zelda Twilight Princess was perfect on GameCube and pretty good on Wii. But it's even better on Wii U. IGN scores don't mean anything at all to me but I like hearing other people's opinions. Anyways, this is the very last time that we will ever see the one true Link...the lefty Link.
I hope they bring this game to the 3ds.
Buy a Wii U, they're getting super cheap. I got one two weeks ago for 89$ at GameStop.
3ds would explode if it run this game lmao the graphics are far too intense for the 3ds
Boku9765 Pretty sure the 3DS is between the Gamecube and Wii in terms of power, the New 3DS would probably be able to run it, not too great maybe but still.
Why dont you just play it on the Wii?
In my opinion twilight princess is the best zelda game.
Still my favourite zelda game
Dose anyone notice the Wii u version is backwards link is lift handed instead of his sward in his right hand like the Wii old version it's in his lift
This is my favorite zelda game, but now i´m playing wind waker hd and remembering how fantastic the game is and I really love the story from that game soo... Wind waker vs Twilight Princess, which game is better? Wind waker is the best HD remastered I´ve played and this hd... not worth it.
I can't believe im saying this but in Igns DEFENSE, its an 8.6 even with one con because for an HD rerelease, its not exactly doing the HD part
Where does the .6 come from?
+CasterRides Mathematics.
Buying it because I never came around to finish it back on the Wii. I really loved and enjoyed this game!
This reviewer is walking dangerous ground...
10/10 game its more better than the original no wait there both great
Love the wii u for this game and windwaker hd. Now all we need is a remake of skyward sword. Hell id just take any version of skyward sword without motion controls.
Jim rumors said that skyward sword he will be on switch
well we might not have a skyward sword remake but you could get the original on the virtual console.
Hmmm...Gamecube, Got both Windwaker and Twilight Princess, add the hard to get NES Zeldas and OOT HD with Master Quest plus two Metroid games and two starfox games.
WiiU only has two Zelda Remakes from said gamecube, No Starfox, No Metroid....
And Nintendo has board meetings on figuring out why the WiiU is selling so poorly compared to it's older systems....
April 22
So before this game got a 10....
9.5
+DragonClawX123 And tons of games came out since then, besides Jose didn't review the GC version.
It was a fantastic game relative to the time. It's still good, but a lot of bigger, better games have come out in those 10 years. I assume you're a young'un if you're surprised by that notion.
yes but not from ign, but from game informer, game trailers, x play, gamespy, and other sites. and won many goty awards, and Is the most critically acclaimed game of 2006.
+DragonClawX123 Because they sold the same game as a alleged "remake."
when windwaker got a HD remake nobody hated on it.
but with twilight princess alot of people are. I'm I missing something because the HD for windwaker didn't seem that different aswell
+bungi fish Wind Waker HD had a lot more time and effort put into it. TP HD just looks better. They should have given it the Wind Waker HD treatment and actually messed with some of the character models and improved the shading and lighting everywhere.
+bungi fish The upgrade in its graphics werent as significant. Windwaker had higher poly models, an upgraded lightinig engine, remodeled some areas entirely, higher res textures, etc. This remakes only really big change are the textures.
is this worth buying if you have this game and play it on dolphin with hd texture packs?
NOOOO
If you have dolphin your good
This game is the reason why i bought a wii and i m so glad i did this is the best zelda game imo i just love it so much
Best Zelda of all time :)
Why would they get Jose to review this? He has said many times he's not a big fan of it and didnt think it should have gotten a remake. Why wouldn't they get someone who has no expectations going in?
+Boogie Cousins Well... because... "he's not a big fan of it and didnt think it should have gotten a remake". Though annoying, this makes sense for an HD remake. Those of us who love the game, don't need much coaxing, its those who are like he is that need to know what this is going to be for them.
+Boogie Cousins He had some legitimate points.
