Twilight Princess HD is the most dissapointing Zelda remaster

As for the amiibo extras, yes, the implementation sucks, and the Wolf Link cave isn't something I'm interested in. I'd also point out there's absolutely no indication Hero Mode is locked behind amiibo, which is what the OP implies, but is instead, as with Wind Waker HD, available from the beginning, which is something I welcome.

Hero mode (x2) is in the game. Damage x4 (or x2 Hero Mode) is locked behind Ganondorf amiibo.

I think the implication here I have a problem with is that you're implying that Super Hero Mode is something people will have to go out of their way to experience; such a mode is made entirely for Zelda superfans, many of whom will already have the Ganon Amiibo. Amiibo DLC has been until some new ones released in 2016* entirely inconsequential, and Super Hero Mode is no exception since the majority of players either won't know it exists or won't care because Hero Mode is enough. As an aside, thank the sweet Hylia that they made Hero mode activate immediately instead of after a playthrough. 

 

Now this all doesn't mean I disagree entirely with Pavo. So far TPHD is the most underwhelming of the upgrades; but that's almost fine with me since TPHD was the most underwhelming game of the four remade. Nothing was gonna make the game look good short of a complete overhaul, and even when OoT was overhauled it still hade some really poor parts (such as the outdated sounsfonts). If they upgraded the music and made it less tedious, by the overpriced definition of Zelda it's probably worth the cost. 

 

*The two I'm speaking of are Shovel Knight and Wolf Link. SK I'm fine with because actually it's meant to be DLC, and I'd probably have hopped on it physical or not to support Yacht Club for their efforts. Wolf Link I'm fine with to my knowledge; if it came out or comes out soon that TPHD digitally is the same price as the retail bundle I'll have an issue. Right now you can buy the game for $60 with extra level thing which is almost definitely ENTIRELY bonus content or choose to play the normal way-too-long game as it is for $50. If you want the amiibo later for the side content, just pay the extra three bucks over MSRP. The game is complete without it, and as long as they don't spam advertising for it in-game it's not like you'd ever know it's there. 

 

I don't include the Splatoon amiibos in this list because people only argued around launch that those were DLC because they were worried the DLC crap gave you an edge. It's been proven time and again to be mediocre additional gun mods and costumes that are beaten out by anything you buy within a week of starting the multiplayer.
