Zelda Wind Waker Reborn And New Zelda Coming To Wii U

[Kip]

It has been announced that The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker reborn will be coming to the Wii U and will be available this Fall. Nintendo also said that they are working on a brand new Zelda title for Wii U, though this is a long time off. Wind Waker reborn will feature overhauled visuals and new elements.

so much news!!! Uuuhhhh!!

Oh man. I cannot wait! The fact it is playable with gamepad only is wonderful.

 

[Tenyu]

Christ, it's difficult to believe that game came out ten years ago. Well, maybe not, considering the amount of play-throughs I've racked up.

That looks gorgeous. I'm going to buy a Wii U later on just so I can play that.

Wow, its actually been that long?

 

[Jeremy]

I will get it

 

[Gnome]

ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN.

yeah, this is pretty much the reason I'm going to buy the Wii U, plus the inevitable Smash game.

 

[Hey Listen!]

this may just cause me to buy a wii u

I'm particularly interested in what "new elements" they'll be adding.

I like this remake but as I said in another thread I am currently playing Wind Waker so I'm just like wow.

Wish they would have remade Majora's Mask. But I'm still down for this.

I don't have a Wii U though ._.

It's best to save MM for the 3DS IMO

I've never played WW so whenever I get around to getting a WiiU I'll defo be getting this.

 

[Petunia]

Wow, now I'd really like to get a WiiU for when this comes out. Wind Waker was probably my favorite Zelda game.

There is a part of me though that wishes they'd improved on the originally cel shaded graphics, and not used realistic effects. The lighting is really harsh with bloom and the color balance seems really cool and bluish. The realistic shading and lighting sort of makes everything look like plastic toys or something.

Ni No Kuni I think is really beautiful with its cel shaded characters and normally textured backgrounds. I think this could have worked well for WW.

Bah, oh well. I still think it looks great.

 

[Kaiaa]

Well its official, now I have to get a WiiU. This is awesome! I loved wind waker <3

 

[Juicebox]

I may end up getting a WiiU now. Although I kind of want to see what new elements were added.

 

[Bacon Boy]

This will probably be the main reason that I will buy a WiiU. Just this game.

This is amazing. So glad I have a Wii U.
I was contemplating buying an old gamecube somewhere as I have the Limited Edition of Wind Waker, but no longer use my Wii (and might soon be getting rid of it) and if I was to get rid of it, I would have one solely for Wind Waker.
But now this is coming out. <3333333

 

[Prof Gallows]

Pretty cool.

Wasn't really into WW that much honestly, but it's pretty.

In the Direct, that guy who wasn't Iwata said the Zelda U game isn't going to be linear. Basically it meant that you could do the dungeons in any order you want. (thats basically what he said) How do you guys feel about this? Personally, I don't like the idea. I don't see how a story could be placed in a non-linear game. We know nothing about the this game so far though so it's too early to give hate.

 

[Prof Gallows]

In a Zelda game, a nonlinear gameplay approach would mean that you probably don't need specific tools or items to reach the different locations. To a certain degree, this would be similar to Majora's Mask.

You could go and beat the first boss before touching any of the things you need to do in Clock Town and still have enough time to do said things. Though I'm sure this new game is going to be a lot more open world and offer features that allow you to play it your own way.
