10 Subtle Differences between Zelda Skyward Sword HD and the Wii version - Part 4

[@LooygiBros]

Sorry guys, KZbin's HD processing is taking forever... Higher resolutions should be available soon. Don't miss the outro at 7:49 "Link takes a shower!" twitter.com/looygi

[@jacobw8634]

The bazaar animation bit seems like either a glitch or weird design choice. It’d be nice if it got patched, the sounds and animations made the place feel alive

[@elli_senfsaat]

Totally agreed. This makes the HD version somehow... less rich in aesthetics, and as HD it shouldn't be! Same with the distant 2D objects that get culled out. Why didn't they notice that and made it better? It's not like the Switch cannot handle the graphics otherwise :v

[@azurecreed9119]

It is highly likely that it’s a glitch I see no reason why the would make the change on purpose

[@jagkopp]

The constant baby screams made it feel a little too alive though…

[@notsocooldude7720]

That draw distance thing kinda bugs me. They should definitely fix that in a patch along with the Bazaar NPC issue

[@MoonSarito]

This look's more like a glitch to me.

[@TheomanZero]

After hearing that update about the NPC animations, it sounds even more like a glitch to me.

[@radishesonmars9309]

Thanks for making these! Its interesting to see how the game has changed!

[@christiangarza1725]

5:16 I think the moment Zelda talks about the triforce, she looks up and the text appears higher as if she is telling us that the triforce is up there

[@TheomanZero]

Either that, or they wanted to show the rays of light more clearly.

[@cadaeib65]

I can clearly imagine looygi playing the two games at the same time, collecting and testing the exact same things while looking for differences

[@user-if4nx2jn8r]

Even though they're pretty minor, it's too bad a few things aren't as good as they were in the Wii version considering how well they improved most of the game.

[@Refreshment01]

The painting distant effect is beautifull on Wii. They should bring it back with an on/off toggle.

[@notsocooldude7720]

@@Refreshment01 It’s still in the game, the effect is just more subtle. They talk about it in this video with a pretty good analysis: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4uqXoyobNiDeLs

[@Refreshment01]

@@notsocooldude7720 An on/off toggle to have the effect at the original Wii version levels. How it is now is too subtle.

[@phiIippejean]

For the second one, I didn’t think about the whip, I walked up and got down the ledge and grabbed it

[@jonvega10131]

I know this is a serious video but when link was sped up for the latch//rope difference the music turned it into a comedic masterpiece

[@christopherturner8688]

the npc animations being bugged are probably due to the framerate patch

[@YounesLayachi]

These comparisons are awesome !! More plz

[@airq12]

i think having to use the whip to save the mogma is definitely a glitch! i was trying to grab it and felt crazy because i remembered link being able to do it in the original game ….

[@IvanFranco120]

Nice comparasion video! 😙 The most intresting change is the one of rendering distance objects at 1:31. Its seems the Switch hardware uses an diferent engine of how objects are rended, however they didn't account of the original game's object placement, resulting the visual of some areas looking odd from far away camera. I see the fences looking less cooler than the Wii's version. This is only my theory. 😂👍

[@notsocooldude7720]

Maybe you’re right. But they should definitely fix this in a patch as it is off putting to have the fence invisible from a distance and then appear as you get closer. Especially since it wasn’t like that in the original game

[@qwertyram4598]

To my eye, this looks like some odd upscaling artifact, as the 2d meshes seem much thinner from distance before vanishing...

[@Refreshment01]

Obvious changes not mentioned yet: 1) In Switch items are equipped & used with the same button: ZR. On Wii items were equipped with "B" but used with "A". 2) Tilting L Joycon up brings the shield out for defense. Since Wii didn't have a Gyro on Nunchuck both guarding & bashing worked by flinging the Nunchuck fast. 3) When parrying just the left Joycon vibrates, in the Wii the Nunchuck didn't have vibration. So Switch has stereo rumble now. 4)Wii version auto calibrates when sensor bar is in WiiRemote field of view.

[@newbiezinc4338]

That's right. I remember on Wii you have to press different buttons (I think it's first B and then A) to cancel using your clawshots while hanging on a vine or target. I always pressed it wrong lol. This is improved on Switch.

[@Refreshment01]

@@newbiezinc4338 Yes, the change it's very simple but it makes a difference. i wish Nintendo could have done the same with the original. i also wish they had implemented a free camera like in HD.

[@notsocooldude7720]

@@Refreshment01 They would’ve but there was no way to have camera control considering the Wii mote + nunchuck only had one analog stick

[@Refreshment01]

@@notsocooldude7720 You have more options to control the camera than wth a traditional Dual Analog controller. There's plenty of Wii games with free camera control. Even at E3 2006 Twlight Princess had it implemented, that was before Nintendo revisited the control sheme with the 4 use slots.

[@notsocooldude7720]

@@Refreshment01 Ok so what is your suggested solution? An potential option could’ve been using the d-pad on the Wii mote but those buttons were already used up. So again I ask what is your suggested solution?

[@Ray_2112]

Did you really have to try about 10 times to jump to that lever to finally believe it doesn't work that way? lol

[@GarryDumblowski]

I think they did that not to convince themselves, but instead to convince us (and to be a little silly, i guess?)

[@amauld67]

1:00 Here, I actually went on the wall and dropped myself to fall on the lever and pull it. Yes this is stupid 🤣 SO YES, YOU CAN PULL THE LEVER WITH YOUR HANDS !!!

[@Julius_Strife]

I always used to whip to pull those levers intentionally just so it felt like it had more use and purpose, maybe the developers thought the same? Curious

[@amandaslough125]

Thank you for reminding me how to recenter my items. I've been playing the game off and on so I'm not too far into it, and multiple times I was wondering how you did it, because my brain couldn't remember anything with the controls other than the Down D-pad on the original.

[@YukiKarasuAkuma]

I wonder why the render distance is more restricted...

[@Darth1Marik]

I dunno why for you #10 he didn't sigh, maybe your sound settings are too low? Or some other audio issues? Because on my SS HD I can hear him sigh clearly.

[@SuperSavajin]

Wow some differences are so small I don't know why they would change them on purpose.

[@anAngeal]

You could target that lever in the cistern from bellow… unless you were in button mode. Otherwise I did the intended solution.

[@erieriderschillingcorner1595]

Wait you needed to swing to the switch in ancient cistern? I targeted the switch mid jump and pulled it with the whip in HD 💀

[@YounesLayachi]

#1 small screen requirement (can't see small details in a small screen)

[@IvanFranco120]

Not even in handle mode? 🙄

[@YounesLayachi]

@@IvanFranco120 what's handle mode ?

[@huff120]

@@YounesLayachi they meant hand held, like the controllers connected to the actual switch

[@YounesLayachi]

@@huff120 yes that's the problematic mode. If handheld mode didn't exist then these problems wouldn't exist either.

[@huff120]

I was really hoping they made the silent realms easier but i guess not lol

[@MrBakonBitz]

Looks like the AI upscaler in the game fucked up the draw distance for 2D objects. That sucks.

[@YounesLayachi]

5:45 this defies the laws of physics AND the physics mechanics of the game ! What !!!! It must be broken in some way

[@huff120]

What do you mean, which one

[@cassiaprior453]

1:10 I fell down from the legend and it worked XD

[@cassiaprior453]

3:39 I suffered so much for this lever and here was a simple solution XD

[@magolor2706]

Wow, lower render distance. This was terrible from the beginning but seeing how minimal the changes can be is sad, especially if they make the game worse in some cases

[@huff120]

Well lowering the render distances increases the frame rate, so thats a plus i guess

[@Jonny_goff]

Ei Looygi Bros.makes a video about the differences between normal mode and hero difficulty,pls my friend🤲🤲

I'm glad I bought this because I never finished this as a kid. Little me missed out on a massive adventure.

[@vreddycarlsondoesnotexist]

The difference is, the platform

[@IvanFranco120]

Yep. 😂

[@4LeafedDragon]

Honestly with what I've experienced and what you've shown, the Wii version seems to be the superiors of the two versions.

[@coniferous4637]

Lol it really seems like the wii version was better

[@w390i]

ok, Wii version is better than HD. HD version is only a minimal downgrade of the game

The switch version is most definitely still the better version, and all these issues could be fixed in a patch

[@shigerumiyamoto9612]

@@notsocooldude7720 I will be surprised if they care to fix most of them tbh. Its not that bad at all, but I hate my disappointment with removing Rupin's sigh

[@Jackbarrany]

@@shigerumiyamoto9612 Nintendo tends to be really bad about fixing glitches and quality of life issues that aren’t game breaking. It’s irritating some times when they do like 95 units of work but refuse to do 5 more post launch to completely polish the experience.

[@lunarkomet]

Why even bother with the remake, am I right? Stupid changes that don't matter

[@JD-mz1rl]

Wrong. Most of these things aren't intentional but side effects of the port Except for 1080p / 60fps, which is what was billed

[@huff120]

These arent the only changes to the game, just some subtle ones that are hard to notice, so the creator pointed it out.

[@JD-mz1rl]

@Walther Penne you made no point whatsoever. As I said, these are side effects of porting / upgrading to 1080p/60fps. It's not because they decided "let's lower this draw distance because we don't want to the player to see TOO much now"

[@seavitality_5116]

So the original game is better than the hd version
