Because it's extra cost. Redoing the textures is easier than smoothing out all the models. Because, once you do that. The model bones have to be re-connected to the model. And then you have to check all the animations for deformation errors. That is man hours. When you smooth out models. You're adding polygons. And more vertices. Which weren't there in the old setup. Those extra points can get pulled in wrong directions. You could have midna's right thigh move with her left. Because the skin mapping is crossing over the new area. This is the testing that takes time.
If you are redoing all the people in the game. Which is thousands of animations. The more complicated, being bosses. Since they're non human. Also time could be a problem. They have a 6 month window to release. BUt redoing character models would make the time, say 8 months. It's dropped.
Here's an example. I was rigging 6 MVC3 player models. So I could make wallpapers with them. The right thigh is being moved with the left leg. And the left kneecap is not being fully pulled with the rest of the leg.

Yeah, that sounds like a lot of work. I don't know how many people are working on the remaster but if they are really working on it for more than a year I'm guessing that could have been done, though I have no complaints about that honestly. From the little we have seen my main concern is that they should have worked the lighting a little bit more, adding more contrast would have been great. Anyway, I'm really hyped for this remaster what can I say, it's Zelda :P

It's possible that the team could of tested WW bloom lighting. And it just looked horrible, in TP. That could be a reason why the lighting wasn't really changed as much as WW. This games main complaint is that it's brown. And they fixed that. The rest was left as is.
Or it's possible Nintendo had no intendtion of doing TP now. And was like. Well, we delayed Zelda. What can we do. We can port TP in half a year. So it's now just a rush job. I'd also add in the time wasted for the outcource team familuizing themselves with TP. WW had a nintendo team work on it. So they would know how the game was built.
