You are saying this like it's a bad thingI mean it looks like a higher res Twilight Princess with more advanced lighting.

For me it is, I think TP is the ugliest Zelda game there is. There's areas that look decent-to-good (the dungeons mostly), but the semi-realistic style did the game no favors. A better realized version could work, but I really just prefer a more colorful and playful look. It's Zelda, not Lord of the Rings.

You're describing the difference between a top down game with a limited view and a open world game with a free camera i guess
everyone please stop replying to this thread in case nintendo sees it and ever thinks it might possibly be something that'd find an audience.
in other words, god no. every "realistic" zelda has been ugly as hell, while the last game settled on a beautifully evocative art style that'll age well and work on any hardware.
When comparing to more realistic games from the GC, PS2, Xbox generation I think that Twilight Princess is a very good competition.The game is as dated as OG Wind Waker when comparing to games like Ni No Kuni 2 or even BOTW.
Of course it's a matter of taste, but I understand why Nintendo chose to use a new illumination on WW HD when I see pics of OG upscaled.
Yeah its a pretty apparent difference , fascinating how one artstyle holds up due to hiding its flaws with charming art.yeah i don't agree with this at all. i think original wind waker looks better than the remaster (resolution aside), and sure ni no kuni 2 is better but that's mostly down to its more accomplished and inventive art direction. wind waker just uses very simple models and environments that would happily scale to the switch if that style were to be revived.
twilight princess (including HD) just looks incredibly dopey to me. the art style isn't appealing in the slightest, even though it was technically impressive for the gamecube. each to their own, for sure, but it's inconceivable to me that anyone would say it holds up better than wind waker, despite being several years older.
I'm fairly certain that both Aonuma and Miyamoto have gone on record saying that they really don't like realistic art styles for Zelda. Twilight Princess only looked the way it did because of the backlash to Wind Waker's art style, and besides, TP is pretty much universally agreed to be incredibly ugly today.

I remember Andre's TP HD review. Instead of looking at the game objectively he said it was a bad game because he didn't like it. Then he said that that is how reviews are supposed to be done.Personally I hope not, because we already had one and it was (IMO) the among the worst of the 3D Zeldas and employed the least interesting and attractive art style the series has ever explored by a mile. This is basically just a slightly reworked Twilight Princess appearance with better lighting, and that style is better left in the past.
I would definitely be fine with this. Except for character and monster design(ok, oot is competition in this one...XD) where I think that TP excels every other Zelda game.Ocarina and Majora 3D do a better job of capturing fairytale realism without looking garish.
Nintendo should try to do this art style again in HD, cause these games hold up quite well in emulation:
That would be a remake, not a remasterYeah, Twilight Princess HD was a wasted opportunity really. The game didn't really need a remaster that was so close to the original.

You are supposed to try to be objective in reviews. E.g. I don't like ALLtP but I know objectively that it is a great game. I don't enjoy the Street Fighter games but I can't give them low scores because of that. Andre was way too wrong in his review.
It's like looking at a good looking person that you don't personally find attractive and then calling them ugly.
The graphics have aged like milk and it's specifically due to the artstyle. Every 3D Zelda has a unique atmosphere, and for me (and this is an opinion also many people share, whatever that is supposed to mean) TP and Skyward Sword are the weakest of them while Majora's and Windwaker ooze theirs in every corner. And..Speak for yourself.
TP in my opinion is the best styled Zelda and also in the opinion of many people. There is no Zelda game that has the atmosphere of TP.
BTW Aonuma considers TP his favorite Zelda game.
That's not how reviews work. You can objectively look at framrates and resolution, not gameplay, story or artstyle.I remember Andre's TP HD review.

Why do people get so hung up on these one-off Zelda tech demos? It looks just like all of those godawful "OOT RECREATED IN UNREAL ENGINE 4" videos from the last fifteen years. I'd take something unique and expressive like Wind Waker or BOTW over a game that has nothing going for it beyond lighting and sheer visual fidelity and will age like milk.

You might want to rewatch it because your memory seems a bit faulty, as is that isn't at all a fair assessment of the review. I vividly remember going out of my way to try and consider the 3 main demographics for that game. I'm also reasonably confident I never called it a "bad game" in the video, though I very much did deliver my authentic feelings on it (which I do believe is how reviews should be done).
