Twilight Princess HD is the most dissapointing Zelda remaster

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.

If I'm not a "Zelda superfan" I don't know who is. I don't have any amiibo and I don't want any. What do I win?

Anyway, Hero Mode (simply multiplying damage taken by the player) is an ineffective bandaid for one of Twilight Princess's biggest problems. The difficulty needed to be completely rebalanced. The final boss has attacks that deal the bare minimum amount of damage measurable... Hero Mode doesn't fix that. In a game where your final max health is at least 4 times the amount you started with, endgame enemies should hit harder than the very first annoying bats you fight in the tutorial.

But actually balancing the difficulty curve sounds like a lot of work, let's just slap a damage multiplier on the game and ship it.

Sounds like you've got a grudge against amiibo or something then. Most of the people that fit into superfan category were chomping at the bit for more Zelda merch. The superfan category also generally contains many people who wanted something like Hyrule Warriors. I'm not one of those superfans though. So we're both outliers to that crowd in some respect. 

 

As for the rest of your comment, Hero mode has always been a band-aid so pinning that entirely on TP is unfair. The only meaningful Hero Mode was probably in SS because it felt somewhat designed around that game's difficulty for once. WW's and especially LBW's were both just tacked on trash modes to instill some semblance of "hardcore" for people who weren't sold on those games. TP's looks to be the same, but with how long this game's allegedly been in development, I'd like to think maybe they adjusted damage outputs too. They've seemingly touched on some of the other big flaws after all. I don't expect that to be the case but you never know.
