I thought remake, was to make it from the ground up?

Remaster is useing the (some of the) same texture ect, just in higher quality with the odd touch up to the textures most in need.

remake is something like wind waker, majora's mask or final fantasy 7

remaster is like the last of us or final fantasy x on ps4, just need a resolution bump and in some cases better framerate.

so if mario kart and splatoon have better resolution that would count as a remaster, with some extra content.

Wind Waker HD is just a very ambitious remaster. They didn't rebuild assets from scratch compared to the likes of FFVII R, Majora's Mask and the first 2 games in the Master Chief collection. They included a new lighting engine in WW which is responsible for why it looks so new.
