breaking: nintendo shits out yet another zelda """remake"""

[TooB]

i mean you just described an hd remaster in a nutshell yes 

it's pretty much all they did with WW.

Yes, WWHD added some things, and made some things better, but do we know for a fact that TPHD won't either?

we don't! in fact, there's rumors that they're changing the teardrop sections slightly (because they fucking sucked)

yeah, from what I hear though, they're only making them shorter. But I suppose we wait to see eh?

I'm sure there will be other little tweaks to make the overall gameplay better though

i mean sans removing or reworking those sections of the game entirely (which would be kind of insane from a development standpoint), shortening them is 100% the best solution.


also this game is nearly a decade old, i dont really think it's a spoiler anymore to imply ganondorf is in it somewhere lol he always is, as u said

then again, people still complain about spoiling that Aeris dies. That game is nearly 20 years old!

also, yes, I can't really think of any other way to improve the tear thing, unless, like you said, they completely change it.

like in WWHD, all they did to make the triforce collecting better, was shorten it.

LITERALLY THE SAME GAME

[C.Mongler]

Gameplay changes:

- The Wii U GamePad will let you view the game's map and transform into Wolf Link with just a single touch, speeding up the transition.
- There's a new Ghost Lantern item which will glow when Poe Souls are nearby, making this lengthy sidequest easier.
- There are now 12 Tears of Light to collect in each area, down from 16, again making this quicker.
- Rupees will no longer remain in a treasure chest if your wallet is too full to pick them up
- Wallets have been modified to hold more Rupees to accommodate this
- Hero Mode is now available from the start. Link will take double damage and no health-replenishing hearts will appear in the world. Dungeons are also mirrored.
- Dozens of Miiverse stamps have now been hidden in chests around the world.

Hmmm. Sounds like just about as much effort as wwhd....

[Kalahari Inkantation]

basic gameplay and quality-of-life bandaids that take an unpaid intern two minutes to program and no other substantial changes, just like wwhd

i guess it's true that if i squint hard enough, i might now think it was released just seven years ago instead of ten

[spoiler]

tp deserves better than this lol [/spoiler]

[C.Mongler]

lol i was wondering where tec was

[spoiler]it's still a shitty game, this is exactly what it "deserves" lmao; easily the worst 3d zelda[/spoiler]

[Hiro]

yeah TP kinda sucked but I'm willing to get it another try, the only thing I'm looking forward to about this version is it shouldn't be as unbearably muddy as the Wii version
also having the game be non-mirrored will be nice

[Samus Aran]

>playing the mirrored version in the first place

[Kalahari Inkantation]

It's not like Nintendo made the Gamecube version easily obtainable. :'(

[don't let's]

>not starting off with TP Master Quest

[C.Mongler]

yeah so i just got to the twinmold fight in the majora's mask 3dsmake, and i can now confidently say I'm 100% glad that nintendo is not changing TP at all because THEY WOULD TOTALLY JUST FUCK IT UP AND MAKE IT WORSE

spoilers if for some reason you're 20 years late to the majora'as mask party

but yeah what the fuck did they do to the twinmold fight, it used to be one of my favorite fights in 3d zeldas and now its a piece of action game esque horseshit. why are there quick time events now? why is there no indication that you're even doing damage to the son of a bitch. ughhhh i fucking hated playing through that they made it such a frustrating fight that i literally had to google how to complete because YOU WONT FUCKING GET THE 'PRESS A TO CHOKE SLAM" PROMPTS IF YOU ARE GOD DAMN Z TARGETTING. YOU KNOW, THE THING YOU DO CONSTANTLY IN THESE GAMES

[TooB]

Yyyyyeeeeeeaahhh...  me and kaz just watched that fight.
It's really fucking stupid.

[C.Mongler]

yeah it's pretty dumb.like there was never anything wrong with that fight to begin with so i don't know why they felt the need to change anything; before it was literally HIT IT UNTIL IT DIES. which was fine, considering most enemies in zelda function that way. they wanted to add more challenge i guess? but it lacks any forethought because this is a game with a huge following and it felt like i had the rug pulled from under me a little bit because i spent the whole fight punching (literally punching, you lose your sword when using the giants mask now for whatever fucking reason now) twinmold like i thought you had to do per usual and he/it would fall to the ground and there was some visual emphasis on his tail, so I would be like OKAY I GUESS I GOTTA HIT THE TAIL. well punching him in the tail has the same hit sound/effect as it does when he's in the air, so it took like 3 cycles for me to think "oh maybe thats not even fucking doing anything", so i tried light arrows because, hey, i got them in the temple, and they seemed to have no more obvious of an effect. on top of that they aded balls which look like they are destructible like the pillars that surround the stage, but they aren't, they are meant for throwing at twinmold which i didnt even figure out until the very last damage cycle

and eventually i just googled it and oh, when he falls to the ground you have to walk over to his head and you'll get a prompt to hug him, IF YOU DONT Z TARGET AT ALL, which does damage. everything else is basically pointless because his damage meter resets if he hits the ground and gets back up.

so anyway i'm sure they'd try to shoehorn bullshit like that into TP if they made the effort to change anything so i'm kind of glad they aren't now lol because holy fuck that left a horrible taste in my mouth for zelda remakes
