Some things!? Looks totally different than original game, this more remake not HD port.

its still the gamecube game emulated via dolphin.

That is heavily modded game made that can use power of PC, so I really dont see point of comparison with Wii U game. Also TP HD isn't remake its HD port.

Wanna get it soon stopped playing TP on Wii back in 2012 cause I hated the tutorial lol

Just look at WWHD, which uses the same engine.  It has big frame rate drops at certain moments due to the addition of the lighting enhancements and that's only one piece.  

The framerates drops in both WWHD and TPHD seem to be caused by the same thing; layering alpha transparencies over a 1080p framebuffer. Digitial Foundry suspects that doing so causes bandwidth problems for Wii U.

This is a "remaster"-mod done by a FAN: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSDVY6Q9pfk

Somewhat amateurish artistic implementation aside, this looks much better than the Wii U release, (not that the Wii U release looks bad, just dated) and shows what a difference lighting makes. I'd much rather they ran TPHD at 720p and used the additional fillrate for better lighting and shaders myself. Throw in some well implemented HDR, normal mapping, and per-pixel lighting, and it'd look fantastic.



My thoughts:
-Must be played on TV (my LCD is an old 1080i and looks miles better than the gamepad).
-Hero mode for those that already played before. Pretty sure the Ganon mode would have been better if it was in the game as it should have come. Hopefully a future patch can fix this.
-Texture work is hit and miss. Some are impressive and some doesn't fit in the direction of the game.
-Less tears of light was a bad idea as Tantalus cut some important ones while it let some bad. For example, there are location where you get three of them and some barren areas that you still have to traverse with zero. It was bad implemented in Kakariko as the move important ones. In the cellar there are 3 and the graveyard zero. Definitely the old versions are better in regards of this.
-Lighting is old. No pro interface (clean HUD) and no movement while in first persone perspective made this underwhelming compared to TWWHD.

Anyway, I agree with the 85 score. It is, as I always pointed, an inferior remaster compared to TWWHD. And yes, I felt. Went digital as I'm not going to support amiibo never.

ok I have 1 question I was thinking about getting this tomorrow but did they fix that stupid crap where it shoes the animation that happens everytime you open a box of rupees whenever you turn the game off and on?

It's the same: double the damage, no hearts drop, only milk and potions. I recommend you to go with this. TP is a harder game than TWW and because of that Hero Mode is more meaningful in this one. Already have 3 game overs and have finished this game like 20 times before this remaster.

And they fixed the ruppe problem. Anyway, you start in the game with a bag capable of holding 500 ruppes.

I haven't started it up just yet - but I will say this.

This is probably the best physical packaging Nintendo has done in a LONG time.

It looks so shiny and majestic. You really feel like you're opening up something special.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016
