The majority of people won't have played this before, so it makes sense they're showcasing it this way. Pretty sure they did the same thing for Windwaker and Twilight Princess HD when they came out.

[@12145sonic]

@@bradaloop Still, TP and WW Hd's had massive improvements in gameplay and little things to make your life easier. The TP wolf sections were shorter and WW had a shorter triforce quest. We havent seen anything like that from this game. Which is a shame, I love this game but there were definatly some things they can improve or do to make our life easier. Not to mention it is more expensive now than it was in 2011.

[@BigRobertsons]

That's because they haven't changed anything. Mapping motion controls to the right stick is worth full price to Nintendo

[@matthewmuir8884]

That would potentially be great, depending on how they decided to handle the remakes. Here's what I think would be best for each of them: *Wind Waker:* The best for it would be something of a mix between the original and the Wii U remake. From the Wii U remake, it should keep the more vibrant colors & lighting (minus the bloom) and the new shadow effects, the remade music, the various QoL improvements (except for how quickly the grappling hook hits the floor of the ocean when used on the boat to receive sunken treasure), and the swift sail. From the original, it should keep the full cel-shading (in the remake, Toon Link sometimes looks like a mii rather than a cartoon). Finally, it should also have a version of the game with the cut content such as the two missing dungeons and the undersea segments of the temple dungeons added back in (with the idea being that the original version in terms of content can still be played). *Twilight Princess:* Take the Wii U remake, make the Wolf Link amiibo feature no longer tied to amiibo, and upgrade the visuals a bit more. *Ocarina of Time:* Take the graphics from the 3DS remake, greatly improve the textures and go further in realizing the look of the original artwork, get rid of the over-brightening in the dungeons and Ganon fight, fix the, for lack of a better way of describing it, "air hockey" movement animations, and put the missing textures (namely bloodstains on the walls and stuff like that) back in the Bottom of the Well mini-dungeon. *Majora's Mask:* Start with the original game rather than the remake, add the expanded bomber's notebook and owl-statue-saving, and update the graphics in subtle ways; this is one game whose N64 graphics have arguably actually aged well, since it looks kind-of like watching a horror movie on VHS: the resolution actually adds to the eeriness, so it honestly should remain subtle in its graphical changes.

I agree. It could be a waste of money if the just copy and paste it though

I would love to play Twilight Princess and Wind Waker in HD though. I never got a WiiU 🥲

[@themimsy]

This is such an underrated Zelda game. Yes it had a little more goofiness than other ones, but it also has some great tense moments too! The world is so pretty and vibrant and I love the concept of the sky! I just hope they take advantage of this “second chance” of sorts to buff out some things. I really want more to explore in the sky. The game lacked where Wind Waker also lacked. A so called Open World game but anything really worth looking out outside of the main storyline was few and far in between.

[@birdcar7808]

I don’t think that Skyward Sword is trying to be an open-world game. The sky is meant to provide a break from the puzzles, so in a sense it’s more similar to Hyrule field than the great sea. But yes I agree it needs more content. It’s not a particularly enjoying break lol

They've done this before (e.g. with Mario Odyssey, in which they spoiled a lot of surprises, and surprises were the only truly enjoyable thing about that game, tbh). These trailers suck imo - "Quick, get people hyped for a game we're currently relying on selling by telling them everything about it!" The worst part is, they work - a trailer that spoiled a lot of SM3DW got people hyped about it after the initial negative reaction to it when it was announced for Wii U, and, like I mentioned earlier, Odyssey had this kind of trailer towards launch, and look how well that sold! (That wasn't the only factor in its commercial success, of course, but it probably still helped.)

[@TMS-Oddbot]

@@Markiplier2 Ye, I could not see much of the hype for Odyssey myself. People gave it high praise, but I can just say it may be the best Mario game, but for me that is not saying much since the story is always the same bland thing that does not really make since until Game Theory shows up. And truth be told, Game Theory is probably wrong...in that they did not put any of that stuff down on purpose, or if they did, then they are NEVER going to do anything with it even though it makes for a lot more interesting story than, "Bowser captured princess again."

Sure, it's neat when they do more with it (like Galaxy increasing the presentation and having the Rosalina's storybook stuff), but ultimately, the story in a mainline Mario game is basically there for context for why Mario's running and jumping everywhere. In Sunshine, it was him clearing his name after being framed by Bowser Jr. for polluting Isle Delfino.

[@Nitrinoxus]

I know the fans were kinda divided when this was announced, but I'm looking forward to it. Before _Breath of the Wild_ took the crown, _Skyward Sword_ was my favorite _Zelda_ title -- the saturated colors and slight stylization made the game stand out visually, and the tweaks they made to the gameplay were well-executed and opened the door to some really clever puzzles and bosses. More than anything, though, it's easy to look back on _Skyward Sword_ as the prototype of _Breath of the Wild_ -- the expanded traversal mechanics, the broad world, the environmental puzzle design, the variety in the combat encounters, the stamina meter and crafting systems... all of them were expanded on in _BotW_ to incredible effect, and this was the game that let them test out those new approaches to how a _Zelda_ game could be done.

If you like that kind of stuff, it goes really deep!

It absolutely isnt the worst Zelda game, its one of my favorites actually. the only problem with this port is that its triple the original price.

[@sanscalvo6927]

People says it's the worst just for the controls but actually are one of the best things in the game. Skyward sword is a masterpiece, don't believe those people that say is bad. :)

I hope you do my first time I was furious the motion controls where junk

[@cdurkinz]

I know we are generally moving in this direction, but PLEASE can we get every 3D zelda on the switch? You don't need to do stuff to all of them, just straight ports are fine. Majora's Mask, Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker, ALL of them! And honestly, more remasters of the 2D games would be great too like Link's Awakening. I will literally buy every single one. Outsource the ports to other devs, get them done quick.

[@Josh-xd7jc]

I really hope they will do that since it would be very profitable for them and we could all play them again

[@Sedifet]

Your comment has been heard and we are passing the information on to our development team as we type. Look out for the complete collection in one package in the near future!

[@jonilach7122]

I think they will make a port to most of them but they will sell them separately and each one of them will cost around 60$

[@linkalot7415]

As long as they aren't all £50

[@mightknight123]

That is what they should have done in the first place in this anniversary year. Like they did with Mario last year.

[@Morgil27]

I hope there's plenty of Loftwing Amiibo at launch, seeing as the scalper scumbags snatched up all the preorders yet again.

[@wolfgodfenrir]

Worst case scenario, someone will make amiibo cards for those who want the much-needed feature. Unofficial but works the same way. Would very much love for a full solution to scalpers though, since clearly they have nothing better to do with their miserable lives and don't lose sleep over making others feel their misery.

[@firstbornchronicler]

I agree with both you dudes. What makes it worse is they have no shame, they happily advertise their scalping on places like eBay. The only way we can win is to never, ever purchase from them, no matter how much you want something; it’s a simple case of bleeding them dry.

[@adrianvargas8998]

@@firstbornchronicler I'm with you on that sir. Scalpers are targeting all the good Nintendo merch. Metroid dread special edition gone, same for the amiibos for Metroid dread 😞. We demand justice.

[@himikohenson3861]

@@firstbornchronicler We could also win if the companies would do something about it, but none of them seem to care at all...which is very telling imo. Shows us that we should remember that they couldn't care less about their players and all they want it money.

[@firstbornchronicler]

@@himikohenson3861 I totally agree. Also, places like eBay should pull scalpers listings, there should be a feature so people can report it. They should be made to sell at face value.

@@thememoryfish There are some games with soft reset options on Switch, like Fire Emblem Three Houses. Since that's what those buttons and menu options was on the previous games, is basically a soft reset, there could be a chance.

[@loganlogan9433]

@@HyouVizer Yeah, I really won’t be supporting skyward sword hd, I can’t complain about a lack of legacy content, then pay $60 for an upscaled port, I was lenient with the Wii U ports since they looked almost as good as switch games, and most included extras and/or DLC, skyward sword has no new content (as of now) and no redone graphics, a true HD remaster would’ve done the game so much justice. just my opinion tho

[@Chris-yp6zm]

@Enoch Jackson Oh Ma God, controls so hard to port!?!?! Okay, I will pay $60 for a 10 year old wii game.

[@noahwhite7848]

Skyward Sword was the very first Zelda game I ever owned, and I can say with absolute confidence that it is a masterpiece. I never understood why I didn’t get anymore recognition than it did. I cannot recommend this game enough to anyone on the fence about whether or not to buy it!!

[@bigballrecall]

Allow me to provide clarity... Motion controls

[@noahwhite7848]

@@bigballrecall I thought the motion control were great! Granted, I hadn’t played Twilight Princess before I experienced Skyward, so the whole idea to me was really cool and new. I can definitely understand why people would be turned off by them, but they function flawlessly in-game and really supercharge the immersion.
