No it wouldn't have. GCN had Resident Evil 4, Metroid Prime, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, and Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. If those "dark and gritty games" couldn't help, Zelda wouldn't have either. And let's not forget that Wind Waker was the 4th best selling game on the system, behind only Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros, and 3D Mario. The minority of anal gamers have mighty loud voices, but the sales beg to differ.

And guess what? Wind Waker HD was now met with great praise and enthusiasm. What's that say about gamers now?

The sales show Twlight Princess is far more desirable than WW's approach.

And a remake of TP using the tech demo graphics would have sold over double what WW HD has by now.


Empty words. There is literally no agreeable proof to back that up. Like someone else said, 120 million installed base vs 20 million. And even then, Wind Waker was the 4th best selling game on GCN. Twilight Princess was 17th on the Wii.

Here's some more numbers: 4.6 million (Wind Waker) and 8.5 million. (Twilight Princess)

A smaller install base didn't stop Goldeneye on N64 outselling Goldeneye on Wii, PS3, and 360 combined.
