@kollegahsterin Because it's a tech demo. The engine isn't rendering an entire world or running AI or caching anything. A tech demo shows what the hardware can do when focused on one thing. When making a game, it's always a give-take fight with the resources.
Well, the cell-shading of WW will always be a topic of debate and I am against cel-shading in console Zelda games, too. But in this case, I think that the characters, especially the faces of Ganondorf and Link look very ugly. And of course the movements are well animated but that does not mean that this could ever be in a current game.
I just realized that most of my fellow Zelda "Fans" are more annoying than the average sonic 'tard... Why? Well... Whenever a zelda game comes out they always bitch about it: If it's going for originality then it's "way too different"
@JenkemToweringMidget Yes! How DARE people expect originality from a game? All they should EVER do is re-release the same story over and over with slightly better graphics.... ¬¬ Srsly, dude, this is getting ridiculous, get off your high horse for a sec. and realize that what makes a zelda game isn't it's "universe" or that same crappy story over and over.... It's the signature gameplay.... (Which is what TP is missing, but let's not get into that)
@Terryracoon what signature gameplay was TP missing? Its the same gameplay we have experienced since OOT even since the original LOZ. Did we go through dungeons? Yes. Did we have to do a routine pre dungeon area/task? Yes! Did we have to collect shit? Yes! Did we have to save the princess? YES! I can go on and on on similarities but like every other Zelda game TP had its twist on the formula. I think people just like to hate for the sake of hating...
@TheOriginalHigh TP binds you to the plot way too much... The game is painfully linear, and the overworld is "barren" (all it has is randomly generated enemies, and poe souls/golden bugs) The field is only there as a hub world and a timewaster, you can't go where you want to, you can only go where the plot wants you to... Free exploration (that is rewarding instead of timewasting) is one of the things that makes zelda awesome... Play ALttP or WW again, you'll see what i mean...
Ok Jenkin Fag, you are really pissing me off. You have to be the stupidest fucking person I've ever heard. Were not Zelda fans because we all like Zelda games that aren't based in hyrule? WHAT IN THE FUCK is wrong with you. We all like Zelda games because of the gameplay and awesome storylines. As awesome as the whole hyrule story is .... Dont you think it'd get old? Extremist dumbasses like you disgrace the entire Zelda series in every way.
@JenkemToweringMidget I think I'm gonna ignore someone who can't even spell something as easy as Zelda but for the sake of it: I didn't say Zelda looked good but Wind Waker makes my sense for art tickle.
if this was the tech demo of what Twilight P would be later. The Zelda WiiU tech demo makes me think of how amazing Zelda final game would be for that system
Hahah, have the people making fun of wind waker even played the game? Sure, the graphics are weird, but if you actually play it you'll realize the core gameplay / puzzle solving / combat and items are more like Ocarina of Time than Twilight Princess is (even gamecube version),
@JenkemToweringMidget graphics dosent matter, wind waker had one of the most uniqe type of gameplay. overall wind waker looked more prettyer than any other zelda game, you are just a fucked up ocarina of time fanboy. you only think every zelda game besides ocarina of time sucks. you arent a true zelda fan, if you want good graphics go play call of duty
@JenkemToweringMidget For the record, since you ask if anyone would care... Even if Majora's Mask didn't have Link, or wasn't even a Legend of Zelda game, I'd still get the game. Because the story is interesting, and the game is fun to play. And I know for a fact I'm not the only one.
@JenkemToweringMidget As much as I appreciate you spirited reply, you can't say no one wanted Wind Waker, and even if that was true, it's still come to be hailed as an excellent addition to the franchise. As for Majora's Mask, I respectfully disagree. MM was one of the greatest game experiences I've ever participated in, and certainly an ingenious one at that. To be honest, MM is my favorite thus far.
I would never discredit WW or TP, but this demo makes me wish a game like this had come out. It's one of those pieces of footage that fascinates me in the way the Zelda 64 project did.
Link hascomeback to Hyrule and ganondorf has become ruler andhe hasto sto him I think it would have been epic not that I don't love wind waker and that is all sorry if you read al thisand now hate me lol
Now don't get me wrong I LOVE wind waker with all my heart but this really makes me wonder if the legend of zelda series would have changed if that demo was persued instead of WW it looks like a sequel to MM one of my faveorite zelda games i wondr if that nintendo would dedicate the LoZ series to that one link Maybe the game would be like MM and OoT combined like OoT storyline elements Mixed with the MM masks they would probably get rid of the 3 day limit and would be years later when
Ok think of this that is the tech demo for Zelda in Gamecube and TP was the result wich looked way better, imagine now that the new tech demo for Wii U shows Zelda and Link looks realistitc then the fianl result will be even better :D
Ah, that Zelda game looks... ugly. It wish they never bothered with realistic graphics, but at least they waited until they could do them well. Glad they're going for a best of both worlds approach for Skyward Sword (much as I love WW's graphics).
That Link looks so much worse than the Link from Wind Waker, in fact, I think Wind Wakers graphics are the best graphics for any game ever. But that's just personal opinion, I wish games today used cell shading like WW did!
@AlteredConfusion9 same here, also the hero of time arc was great. a third game with the same hero but grown up naturally would truly have been great.
@Atstyle Absolutely! I'd also like to have seen the Fierce Deity version of Link again, that was epic. I did once discuss a premise to a game revolving around the Fierce Deity mask using the Hero of Time era Link, I should really try putting it to Nintendo rofl.. not that they'd really care.. xD
@AlteredConfusion9 maybe the d care but they tend to bring back things when everyone forgotten them,about fierce deity origin there is a manga about the whole zelda majora's mask story which explain what and where he came from. an actual game with his apperance would go far back in time before ganon existed, b4 hyrule, b4 anything we know in zelda...
The Metroid Prime tech demo was the one that made my jaws drop back then, but I never could have dreamed that it would be the best GameCUbe game ever =)
I'm probably the only person in the world who hated the Zelda tech demo back when it was shown and still thinks it looks like crap. I know, you can argue that it was just put together quickly and was only meant to show off the hardware, but I still didn't like the look.
@PsychoKrazyTime I hated the tech demo also. It looked like shit. The reason Nintendo didnt make there next Zelda game look like that was because they thought it looked like shit too. I was so happy when they released the Windwaker trailer over that other piece of shit demo. Windwaker looks kind of childish but it was a phenomenal game with a good story and gameplay and I thought the graphics were great for the Gamecube. It couldnt have been any better.

@jtanton10 But was that Metroid really Metroid Prime? My guess is that it was just something Nintendo put together before Retro Studios even got involved.
As a matter of fact i've never seen a genuine "criticism" of the game, like, someone who hates the game actually ELABORATING on why they hate it, just petty complaints, like "WAAAAH IT's CARTOONEY AND GHEY"....
Anyone who can see past that will see the game for what it is: Kickass epicness.....
dude i cant tell you how many times i have seen pictures of this!! the gamecube legend of zelda looked awesome!! and then they went with windwaker which was someing that was totally new! but i do wonder what it would have been like if they made a gamecube version of Oot with gamecube graphics.
To be honest with you guys, I think the Hero's Shield (MM) looks WAAAAYY better than the Hylian Shield from OoT. Dont mistake me I love the Hylian Shield but I think the Hero's Shield has more of a design to it.
I think why he's using the Hero's shield from majoras mask is cause it was to be a continuation of that links timeline (oot link) so this footage could have been about a game with him returning to hyrule.
whats with the zelda game thing? it looks like Oot, why didn't they make that? what were they planning with that? They KNOW WE WANTED ANOTHER ZELDA GAME LIKE THAT!?
@themexicancrew4 No its just a tech demo just to show how powerful the Gamecube was before it came out. Remember the tech demo (which was the intro of FFVII) for the PS3? It's the same thing.
Well- as great as ww is, and as much as tp sucked- I can't say the animation had anything to do with it. If wind waker looked like this I believe it would have been better
@darkknight3993 WW was a much better story than TP too. People always go on about how they formed a bond with Midna but I found her story detracted from the more pressing quest to rescue Illia and the kids from Ordon. Also WW gave you a whole new world to explore the natives of Hyrule had adapted and evolved and discovering thier fate over the centuries since OOT was fun and interesting while TP was far too familiar.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The Wind Waker is seriously the most overrated game of all time. I can pick at all the subtle and gaping flaws it has that its a wonder how nobody was outraged.
@MustBe18YearsOrOlder WW was 1 of the best plotlines in a Zelda game. It took Oot and expanded upon it. The races had evolved and changed. Ganon had motive and introspection. Link's stake in the quest was personal (his sister had been captured) Zelda was strong and independant. Hyrule had changed so much it was an exciting and new world to explore. TP felt too familiar, the frozen Zoras domain, the dried up river, the goron dodging on death mountain, the lost woods - all recycled from OOT
WW's story isn't bad, but the best parts of the story is only meaningful if you've played OoT. No matter how good the story though, it doesn't change the fact that WW's world is dull.
@MustBe18YearsOrOlder Whilst having played Oot definitely gives you a different perspective on the games events and characters it isn't necessary to have played oot to enjoy ww - the deep and well thought out characters stand on their own merits and all the back story is filled in at the start. And the feeling of striking out into uncharted waters discovering Islands on the horizon and meeting new races that I'd never met in a Zelda game b4 was anything but dull.
i rememebr watching this at 10 years old 100000 times. and then once wind waker came out... and it didnt look like the zelda i saw here.... i was sad. :( :( :(
Well.... it is just a tech demo LOL. But yeah it did take me a few years to actually warm up to WW (watching my dad play it, and suck at it) made me realize it was pretty damn good.
The ending was the only really bad part. It was quick, and left me feeling disappointed.
@WiiFolderJosh Well this was a tech demo, and it was going for the Ocarina (aka realistic) looking art. Plus I thought it'd be some epic Zelda game with way better graphics. Don't get me wrong, WW has a cool art style. But I didn't follow it at the age of 13/14 and did not expect a game like WW.
I remember the original screening... as soon as they showed Samus running down the corridor, the audience EXPLODED. At that time I think everyone was begging for a new Metroid, and they got what they wanted. :)
The Link vs Ganon thing was such a tease, though... bah. Wind Waker should have come after a Zelda with this kind of visual style.
When ever I hear pre-WW Link these days I always expect to hear him to shout nobiro Hōzukimaru! (Grow Hōzukimaru) as the same person voices Ikakku in Bleach...
There's actually a fuller version of the mario segment.
The segment is titled Mario 128 and a game by the title was intended but after a good 6 or 7yrs, it was scrapped and Mario Galaxy was released instead.
@yourlineofire Actually Mario 128 was only a placeholder name for Super Mario Sunshine which was in development at the time of the Cubes release. The tech demo was designed to show how the cube could handle multiple characters on screen. Because the game was called Mario 128 at that stage and the tech demo had 128 marios in it most of the gaming community wrongly assumed that the game would have multiple Marios as a game mechanic.
@yourlineofire WRONG! It was never suggested, it was a tech demo to test the capabilities of the Gamecube, and how many NPCs that can interact it could render at once. They stopped it at 128.

They should have used that Zelda Demo to remake Ocarina of Time with the exception of Adult Link using the Hero's Shield from Majora's Mask.

@charger619c Technically, since pre-teens define maturity based on how teenagers define maturity, TWW and SS are more for the 20+ gamers...

@themexicancrew4 No its just a tech demo just to show how powerful the Gamecube was before it came out. Remember the tech demo (which was the intro of FFVII) for the PS3? It's the same thing.

darkknight3993 1 year ago
@darkknight3993 WW was a much better story than TP too. People always go on about how they formed a bond with Midna but I found her story detracted from the more pressing quest to rescue Illia and the kids from Ordon. Also WW gave you a whole new world to explore the natives of Hyrule had adapted and evolved and discovering thier fate over the centuries since OOT was fun and interesting while TP was far too familiar.

The Wind Waker is seriously the most overrated game of all time. I can pick at all the subtle and gaping flaws it has that its a wonder how nobody was outraged.

GreatBroly 1 year ago
@MustBe18YearsOrOlder WW was 1 of the best plotlines in a Zelda game. It took Oot and expanded upon it. The races had evolved and changed. Ganon had motive and introspection. Link's stake in the quest was personal (his sister had been captured) Zelda was strong and independant. Hyrule had changed so much it was an exciting and new world to explore. TP felt too familiar, the frozen Zoras domain, the dried up river, the goron dodging on death mountain, the lost woods - all recycled from OOT
TaienQuinn 1 year ago
@TaienQuinn
Well I didn't say TP was good either.
WW's story isn't bad, but the best parts of the story is only meaningful if you've played OoT. No matter how good the story though, it doesn't change the fact that WW's world is dull.
MustBe18YearsOrOlder 1 year ago
@MustBe18YearsOrOlder Whilst having played Oot definitely gives you a different perspective on the games events and characters it isn't necessary to have played oot to enjoy ww - the deep and well thought out characters stand on their own merits and all the back story is filled in at the start. And the feeling of striking out into uncharted waters discovering Islands on the horizon and meeting new races that I'd never met in a Zelda game b4 was anything but dull.

Well.... it is just a tech demo LOL. But yeah it did take me a few years to actually warm up to WW (watching my dad play it, and suck at it) made me realize it was pretty damn good.
The ending was the only really bad part. It was quick, and left me feeling disappointed.

@WiiFolderJosh Well this was a tech demo, and it was going for the Ocarina (aka realistic) looking art. Plus I thought it'd be some epic Zelda game with way better graphics. Don't get me wrong, WW has a cool art style. But I didn't follow it at the age of 13/14 and did not expect a game like WW.

There's actually a fuller version of the mario segment.
The segment is titled Mario 128 and a game by the title was intended but after a good 6 or 7yrs, it was scrapped and Mario Galaxy was released instead.
On an unrelated note, I'm still single.
yourlineofire 2 years ago 69
@yourlineofire Actually Mario 128 was only a placeholder name for Super Mario Sunshine which was in development at the time of the Cubes release. The tech demo was designed to show how the cube could handle multiple characters on screen. Because the game was called Mario 128 at that stage and the tech demo had 128 marios in it most of the gaming community wrongly assumed that the game would have multiple Marios as a game mechanic.

@yourlineofire WRONG! It was never suggested, it was a tech demo to test the capabilities of the Gamecube, and how many NPCs that can interact it could render at once. They stopped it at 128.
