Gamecube looks better. And as far as I know there is newer footage (screenshots) that show somewhat corrected colors (blue is blue again and not turquoise) and alot less bloom (still to much of this eye cancer but better than in the video)

Again original = better


Wooooooot???? After seeing the view distance in the HD remake and the beautiful lightning effects I can't look at the original anymore lol.

But different strokes for different folks I guess.


Well were are the lighting effects you talk about? The only thing I see is cancerous  blooooooooooooooooooooom. Which is no lighting at all its just crap.

The draw distance comes from the new resolution  I can play the original with higher resolution on my computer so that does not count.

Btw the view/draw distance of the original running at same resolution is actually higher because the bloom  and the crappy contrast reduce detail.

A HD remaster/remake is supposed to look cleaner crisper and sharper than the original.


Original colors  great contrast (detail in clouds) super crisp!  VS  Greenish. Contrast to high fucked up detail. Bloom = not crisp


Seriously the colors are not that much of an issue because I can fix them with my TV settings but the contrast and bloom......



Even Nintendo understood to some extend and dialed back the bloom and corrected the colors at least to some extend.

Picture used in prior comparison (old built used in the video) VS newer built   better blue, little bit less bloom (still to much)


The newer built also has a slightly smaller hud. (source Nintendo Japan website)

P.S. funny fact! I just found out that there is something called Bloom-Syndrom which is indeed related to cancer! how fitting

Oh boy. I don't have a old school TV at home, Wind Waker on my TV always looks like sh*t. And as you can clearly see the buildings in the distance are clear and sharp and you can see Islands at the horizon compared to the GC version. And with the lightning I didn't mean bloom at all. The sections where it's dark and you see several light sources.  Why would I want to play through the old version on my HDTV? I love the new look. It has a more immersive atmosphere thanks to the sharpness. Alone that is worth a ton for me. I can enjoy sailing now. I hated it before cause everything was blurred in the distance. I just can't understand how anybody would choose the blurred version of the game nowadays.
