Twilight Princess HD or Wind Waker HD: Which Looks Better?

Pretty much what Zekkyou said.

As a remaster, Wind Waker HD looks better than Twilight Princess HD, simply because there is a more obvious improvement, but going by the games themselves I've always found Twilight Princess to look much better than Wind Waker. Even if the graphics of Wind Waker have never been something I had a problem with. I also agree with the posted picture though, Skyward Sword is easily the best looking of the three. It's too bad it was held back by the Wii system graphically.

There's been easily more work done on TPHD than WWHD. WWHD didn't get anywhere close to that level of texture overhaul and, contrary to popular belief, most of the particle effects were already in the original. The biggest changes were in the lighting and the skybox aesthetically. Everything else is pretty much identical to the original.

They probably didn't use the same lighting trick on TP because it would look worse on TP than it did on WWHD. It wouldn't show well because the nature of how poorly that game aged. It would probably make all the characters look like papier-måché in an incredebly unflattering way.

I disagree that SS looks better than WW, but it has aged far better than I thought it did.

I'm just sitting here wishing Tantulus did Metroid Prime instead, though... This kind of remaster would have actually worked for that game since it's aged graphically far better, and it's controls have aged terribly from the GCN. A change to the Federation Force control scheme with a map on the gamepad would have been a dream.

Likely yes, what I meant though is that the improvements for WWHD seem more... 'in your face', compared to the texture improvements in TPHD which is a more subtle change at a glance. So less work more gain kind of thing, but it's a personal thing, nice lighting and shaders have have a big impact on me usually.
