Well, the issue is that this demo also has some very fancy effects going on. All the particles and the lighting and real time reflections. Skyrim already has decent lighting and effects for its time, making them better - even quite better from an objective standard - won't show as drastically as adding said effects to TP which had vastly inferior effects compared to other games of its time. It's the old diminishing returns thing. So when looking at Skyrim enhancements, you have to keep that in mind. TP has early Wii grade lighting and textures so making those current gen will have a huge impact. Skyrim has mid to late seventh gen textures and lighting, so enhancements won't show as much. Though you can still enhance things a good bit.
This http://www.nextpowerup.com/img/2014/06-08/9439-64838681.jpg looks considerably better than this http://cdnstatic.bethsoft.com/akqacms/files/tes/screenshots/LakeMountains_wLegal.jpg , and that's just some random pic, not even the best I've seen. It's just, again, a matter of diminishing returns. Those textures are all much higher and the lighting and such improved but the base was already at a significantly higher level than TP. But anyway, this is getting close to off topic :P

Probably because graphic from that tech demo in open would be too much for Wii U. |
If we are talking about an open world like Xenoblade Chronicles X or the actual new Zelda for the Wii U, with no barriers between any scenario whatsoever, then yes, Wii U can't move those graphics with an optimal performance.
If otherwise we talk about an """"open world"""" like Twilight Princess, Ocarina of Time or even Wind Waker to some extent, were a big map is divided in different areas, each one separated from the others by loading times or other techniques, then yes, Wii U can probably handle those graphics at 30fps.
In this thread, we're talking about an hypotetical Twilight Princess HD on the Wii U with the Zelda 2011 demo graphics. And my personal opinion is that it can be done. The problem is that it would probably take a lot of work and money, maybe similar to what the new Zelda U will need to be completed.

We get a lot of old classic games added to PSN/XBL/eshop even without any HD treatment. And among the games that get an HD treatment, there are games from the PS2 era like Zone of Enders 1, and even the PS1 game Final Fantasy 7 was released in HD for PS4. So if you want to talk about games with aged graphics, there you go. |
And how many times has Nintendo done that? Even WW HD had a lot of improved textures.

Especailly considering Zelda U will be out next year sometime (It better.....) so it would be a great contrast in visual styles if this comes out looking nicer than the tech demo. While I do love Zelda U's artstyle, I think having a remake look that beautiful would potentially overshadow the new game. Or maybe it would make people fall in love and want to buy Zelda U? Who knows. |
Actually that tech demo graphics are outdated by today's standards, but Zelda U graphics are looking very fresh and beautiful.

Its not matter on what hardware this was running because it's just tech demo, and actual there are rumours that Nintendo lowered Wii U power because it was consuming more power than they wanted.

Winwaker HD is exactly what I'm expecting. An HD port with some improvements. Not a remake. Resident Evil 1 Remake, MGS Twin Snakes, etc, those are remakes. I don't thing there's even been a remake of a PS2 era and up game yet for a home console. (But Yakuza 1, Resident Evil 2 and Final Fantasy 7 Remake are on the way.) |
TP needs more than WW, Nintendo knows that. Otherwise they'd have done TP in 2013 (it would sell better, TP is simply more popular). Nintendo doesn't follow trends by other companies, so any comparison with them is moot. OoT and MM got full remakes. They aren't going to churn out a lazy HD port for the 30th anniversary.

OoT and MM are portable games with a much lower budget. That's why I said home consoles. The real Zelda Anniversary game is Zelda WiiU, and that's what they're spending most of their resources on. |
No, it looks terrible, even on dolphin. The game could easily be ported to NX later on, thus it would be worth the investment. I can barely make out what's going on in those pictures, such blurry textures. Nintendo needs a way to soften the blow for Wii U owners when they announce that Zelda U will launch on the NX first and only later on the Wii U. Super Mario Galaxy was just a VC re-release, TP has HD in the title. And what resources would Nintendo even spend? Just hire a third party studio to do the work for you. You know what other games are coming to the Wii U in 2016? Pokken Tournament, a third party collaboration with Bandai Namco. Genei Ibun Roku #FE, a third party collaboration with Atlus. Star Fox: Zero, a third party collaboration with Platinum. Third party studios are carrying the Wii U through 2016. Twilight Princess sold more than Ocarina of Time anyway. Super Mario Maker is quite a good game to celebrate Mario's 30th anniversary, so I don't understand why you bring that up.

Because they are screenshots from a Youtube clip. You have to use your imagination a bit, unless you're not familiar with how games look on Dolphin. This is what it looks like from Dolphin's official homepage: |
SMG2 was just a release on the VC, it was released alongside Metroid Prime Trilogy, Donkey Kong Country: Returns, Punch-Out, etc.
It had nothing to do with Mario's 30th anniversary. Who says TP HD hasn't been in development since 2013? MM 3D started development right after OoT 3D was finished and only released this year. This might be the project Tantalus has been talking about, which has been in development for quite a while. Nintendo has loads of money in the bank, the budget for a TP remake wouldn't even phaze them. And the screen you showed looks unacceptable for a retail release in 2016.
