Really? How about going through every Wind Waker HD topic this year.
I'm in the same situation as you...damn :/
So, whose PM inbox can I flood with hatred because of that terrible thread title
It's not too bad.
Certainly better than Pumkin Chunkin whatever.

I'll gladly receive your hate. Mind that it's my first OT and I tried to come up with something good. And I thought of, but eventually decided not to succumb to all those who screamed about the bloom in the screenshots and give it the short and simple title "In Bloom".
So sorry, if you don't like it.

Same here, I'm a very happy Zelda fan this year.

My only issue with Wind Waker was that it was too short by series standards. Could have definitly used another 5 dungeons and maybe a few more tunics too. The Triforce hunt never bothered me because I had a map so I breezed right through it.

Just as bad IMO.
You don't have to adhere to the popular vote, but if you're going to ignore it, at least come up with something better and more witty, not less.

So...the LE version at GameStop is sold out online. That mean I'm screwed?
Thread title is just fine, sheesh.
Man, I didn't know this was coming out so soon. So many games to buy over the next three months
I decided to wait on pulling the trigger for U.S. Ganandorf bonus, and of course it sold out on me (and then I got in trouble when my fiance found out! aw well).
Think I might hold off on picking this up until early next year since I'll be picking up a few Wii U games this quarter anyway. Super psyched to hear impressions of hero mode though.

Is it me or does Nintendo seem to charge more than anyone else when they do a remake or remaster of existing games?
Best Ganondorf returns!
Quoted for truth. OOT and Twilight Princess' Ganondorf designs absolutely pale in comparison. Can't wait to take him on again.
Best Ganondorf returns!
I concur.

He let himself go though.
It is so weird. I was letdown by WW, to be honest, when I bought it at launch and I haven't played it since. Yet, this game (and Earthbound's release on VC), is making me look hard at a Wii U.
I think WW represented a shift in gaming at the time. Back then, I was severely put off on the constant replenishment of health and thus, the ease of the dungeons. However, I have begun to wonder if I would even notice it now because games have begun decidedly easier since then and my expectations are lowered as a result.
I also detested the fetch quest of course. But despite that, I really think I could play WW almost for the first time again and potentially appreciate it for something more than I did back in the day.

Did they put the treasure hunt mini game in this remaster? I ask because i haven't seen the treasure pulling in the videos i glanced over.

My title suggestion would have been "I Just Bloomed Myself" but that's just me
I would have exhaled through my nose at that.

I think is the other way around. Having a more physcal accurate lighting model contrast with the stylized look of the game. The original has a more coherent visual style in that sense.
The Wind Waker is pretty standard Zelda in terms of progression and mechanics. The art style is what sets it appart. The most unique Zelda games would have to be Adventure's of Link and Majora's Mask. Then you have the 2 DS games with far detached control schems and interfaces. Then after all of those we have something like Skyward Sword with its heavy focus on motion controls and the somewhat expanded dungeon desgin to the "levels"
With that said i think is pretty clear in what steps of the ladder the Wind Waker ends up in terms of been "different" to other Zelda games.
It should help that both of those things have been addressed in this version with the reworked Triforce quest and Hero Mode.
approved.
Treasure pulling is still there, it's significantly faster though.

Great! Any video links for it. Want to see how the mini game looks in the Wii U touch screen.
But why did they make it faster, in some of the lay outs it was quite difficult to avoid the mines when pulling the crank up.
"Nintendo is Bloomed" was one of the best OT titles in recent memory. Too bad people were kind of sensitive to the reference XD
You're talking about something different. You're referring to a minigame, everyone else here is thinking of general treasure "fishing."

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage

Nice OT, title does not compute.
Anyway, this baby will be waiting for me when I get home from Italy! (got married, yeay)

What else do you want him to do locked up in the Sacred Realm?
That's... only in PH, it's not in WW anywhere lol.
Why are you talking about Phantom Hourglass stuff in relation to Wind Waker?

Why? Because among the interface adjustments (like OoT), tweaks to items and quests or Miiverse integration i kind of hoped they added this really simple distraction which would totally fit the game's theme.
The tweaks that are present clash as much if not more with the original than the inclusion of that mini game ever could. No need for exaltation here. XD

No problem! Nice OP btw =)
Gamexplain covered Bioshock Infinite and TLOU extensively, I think. At least one of those. They are primarily Nintendo-focused, though. But not exclusively.
edit: checked and it was the former. and not that extensively, I guess.
That's fuckin' awesome. Damn...this game will be the great game with out the annoyances that you had to put up with before.
Yessssss.

Only Zelda game I have never beaten again after finishing it once on Gamecube.
Hopefully all the improvements will take me past where I stopped playing on Gamecube when I tried again and again and again to play it a second time.

You might be thinking of Uncharted 3? I think they did a guide on that
Naw, I was thinking of BI but misremembered the amount of videos I saw pop up in my sub feed.
