  • WW Link was 10x better than this link!

  • wind waker was beautiful and fun. Best modern zelda game imo

  • Check out the graphics! Love the OoT models on Gamecube! Notice the Hero's Shield on Link?

  • link looks like he's made of playdough

  • That link looks like a model from soul calibur 2 or super smash bros melee.

  • @Kstylero7 Hes the model from Ocarina of Time, but yes they do use Ocarina of Time Links model in Super Smash Bros Melee and Soul Calibur 2

  • I love watching this tech demo, but I feel disgusted when I read the comments.

  • @vr6119 Why?

  • @AvocadoTomato Because of the many people who still fight over the graphics from wind waker and twilight princess. We all know there both great games. Why keep fighting a battle that should have ended years ago?

  • @vr6119 Agreed. I don't think it will ever end!!

  • @MajorasMask1213 I might be the only one who thought finding tears of light was fun. although i do agree that the twilight world was annoying and the colors gave me a headache

  • @MajorasMask1213 Aw men broham

  • so we got wind waker instead of this with more realistic graphics? AWESOME!!!!!

  • @TheFalconlazer

    The Gamecube wasn't able to make a whole zelda world with these kind of graphics. Only a cutscene. That is why Twilight princess didn't look as good as this tech demo.

  • @askjiir don't care. glad they didn't because wind waker was awesome

  • @askjiir IMO twilight looks better than this tech demo

  • I'm glad this didn't get made. I love windwaker.

  • the zelda that could have been... Wind waker is still very AWESOME

  • I like the old look and voice (even though it's just laughs and grunts) of Ganondorf, I wish they'd bring that back...

  • Twilight Princess was kind of a let down to me too. I wasn't 100% digging it but like Wind Waker, was still a great Zelda in its own respect.

    I have superdooper high hopes for Skyward Sword though. I personally think that it'll be the one!

  • After playing A Link to the Past/Four Swords, Ocarina of Time & Majora's Mask, I gotta say that good or bad, Wind Waker was not what I was expecting or hoping for. That being said, no matter how much I like Wind Waker, it'll always be a somewhat disappointment. I still remember reading the game informer & rubbing my eyes to check if what I was looking at was real - that this new Zelda I've been dreaming about is... this... I honestly wouldn't be surprised if some kids cried hahaha.

  • Haha I remember watching this video a long time ago thinking "Can the graphics get any better?!?!" Oh and Wind Waker was one of the best games ever! Twilight Princess was awesome and Skyward Sword is gonna be AMAZING!!!

  • And this...become in WW

  • @RiuuzakiL2010 Yep, this become in one of the better games of Zelda franchise, The Wind Waker :)

  • Ocarina Ganon was a West-awesome-satanic-motherfuc­ker, the WW ganon is an japanese-ugly-fat-pedophile-fa­rt maker and the last one oh god is ready for retirement.

  • @Eneru89 lolwut

  • @Eneru89 You Know that Ganon from ocarina of time it's the same ganon in wind waker?, in WW he's fat cuz he lost his shape and strength due the hundred of years he was loked in the sage's seal..

  • @TheVolvagia and what about his pedophile-ness?

  • Basically just Smash Brothers.

  • I hope that something darker comes out for the Wii U. We've had way too many Windwaker styler games. It's time for Zelda to grow up a bit

  • 2000 e3 many happy fans, 2001 e3 wind waker= dissapointed fans, that year Wind Waker is one of the most loved games, after OoT.. THIS IS WHY Nintendo dont show betas anymore and is so silent when they are doing something...CAN'T WAIT UNTIL NOVEMBER 20

  • I want ganon to look like that again, i dont like how he looks in TP

  • I don't get it it was technically released as wind waker but also with some copy of the games came with a game called Legend of zelda Ocarina of time master quest i am confused now.

  • This later became Zelda: Wind Waker in 2001.

  • I kind of want them to release this game

  • Anybody else a little worried that the Wii U Zelda will turn into cartoon graphics? Nintendo is great at pulling this bait and switch. There was this, TP was supposed to be Windwaker 2, Skyward Sword was supposed to have Twilight Princess graphics. Not complaining necessarily, but if you're gonna have 1080p HD graphics it should look realistic, otherwise whats the point? You dont need HD to show a cartoon. Especially for a system that has unbelievable lighting effects.

  • How the hell did they get the windwaker from this O_o

  • Wind Waker is my favorite Zelda games graphics wise. I really hope they release a WiiU version of it.

  • @ValinKrai Don't mean to be a dick, but fuck that, there has already been 3 games with cel-shading WW-esque graphics. If you're going to tout your 1080p HD graphics, its gotta be realistic, otherwise whats the point? I think TP fans deserve another serious/mature looking game. I don't have a huge issue with the other games, its just so much more enjoyable and immersive with a more serious look.

  • @zzyzx0788 Don't get my wrong, I understand how you feel, but Wind Waker was only 480p and the DS games 240p. I love realistic graphics too, but Wind Waker type graphics would benefit a lot from having the crispness of 1080p. Personally, I found Wind Waker the most immersive (Though MM will always be my favorite). It felt more emotional, had amazing music, was visually more appealing than the muddy TP. That said, I won't mind either way. I just don't find TP that visually appealing.

  • @ValinKrai I can understan your feelings on TP. Personally I thought the game was alot more in depth on an emotional scale than most Zelda games. Artstyle-wise its probably still my favorite, it was a bit dark and drab for the most part but it was still a really colorful game. I especially liked the neon orange, blue and red colors that so many things had in the Twilight Realm. It looked awesome. But on Wind Waker, its an interesting style but theyve done it enough already

  • And Twilight Princess turned out so realistic, it was rated T.

  • i want ocarina of time and majoras mask links back in games. I want that time in hyrule to come back to video games before i die

  • Nintendo may have set themselves up for the same situation with the Wii U Zelda tech demo, as I don't think the look of the tech demo is what they'll go with when they do make a game on the Wii U. It looks to much like Twilight Princess, and I think they'll go with something new.

  • @gardrek But it is a "Tech Demo", people should know that it just showcases the new console's capabilities by now.

  • @gardrek I'm worried about the same thing too my friend. Then again, Miyamoto is already praising how well the Wii U Zelda in development will use the new processor, so maybe they'll stop pulling a bait and switch with us. Afterall, whats the point of 1080p HD graphics for a cartoon looking game? You know they probably wanna strut its capabilities off.

  • does ganondorf's sword have a name? I've seen it in melee but never actually a game where he uses it havent played twilight princess so idk if its in that game

  • say anything you want or comment anything you want to satsfy yourself but just to let you know i will always get the last laugh only commeting or trash talking in your own twisted ways will make you a troll,and also if you try to reply or talk about this comment would make you angry frausterarted on how your crying because your words wont reach me, a lesson to all zelda fans or trolls out there, puting oil in the fire will make it happy letting extingwish will make it satisfied and that is me :D

  • @errorzinvalid

    you were right i misinterpited what they were talking about its just that sick of people always stating opinions about zelda wich i dont agree with as if they were god so i apologize to everyone even if they and u dont accept it or not it took me time to think about others and they see things for making me relize this, i dont think i am an idiot or troll but a hard feeling zelda fan and i did not butcher english languege i simly put * marks in it

  • @WafflesFromHeaven

    *great now i have to explain myself to this real annoying troll* *sigh*

    first of all get your facts straight, do u even know what a troll is?u probobly think its just a bad word, but you trolled on me withought even noticing it lol,getting into to something that has nothing to do with u.stop trying to find out how old i am u siko.u think searching the internet to see how old people are is cool?no its sickning"wich in fact your info is wrong"and no im not retarded you are : )

  • @VincentPrice111

    keep laughing until you choke ass hole, now its my turn to luagh: HAHAHAHAH

  • @diaryofmouse Are you retarded?

    Seriously you think his comment was negative? It isn't negative at all.

    Then you start swearing all over the place and end the line of curse words by saying, "PWNED." You think swearing makes you cool? So far, from what I've seen, you act like a 10 year old troll.

  • I was a little disappointed when I found out this idea was scratched for Wind Waker, but then I realized that it was one of the greatest Zelda games/games overall I've ever played in my opinion. I LOVED it!

  • *sigh*

    I'm really disappointed in a lot of Zelda fans nowadays. I just went to like ten different Zelda-related videos and all the comments were just a bunch of people arguing over little facts or just flat out flaming one another.

    Honestly? Someone posts a Zelda video and all it does is cause fighting? That's just... Wrong.

  • @miniman03

    yes, yes i am, actualy i am quite satisfied :D soooo im not talking or reading this videos comments anymore end of discussoin.

  • @diaryofmouse Here's what I got from that even if you read this or not.

    1. Someone posts to compliment Wind Waker despite what others thought, and then stated how great the series is with all recent and upcoming games.

    2. You come along and misinterpret what they say as something negative.

    3. You then proceed to butcher the english language, whine about something you're wrong about, and make a fool of yourself.

    4. You pretend not to care and leave looking like an ignorant idiot (or a troll).

  • @Darklinkzelda

    no i think YOU misunderstood retard, when you say " not as serious" your refering to story or gameplay wise idiot, not as means less than, and you said twilight princess, so not as good as twilight princess and you shouldnt say sh** until you play the game little f**** irritating as*hol* bit** PWNED period.

  • @diaryofmouse I'm pretty sure you just took grammar and beat it to death. Are you happy?

  • @diaryofmouse You're stupid. Hold on, let me laugh at you some more.

  • @Darklinkzelda

    you dont even know if its serios, you havnt even played the gane!, when you do, post a shit comment, otherwise look at the demo, i actualy think its more serios the twilight princess, but instead i dont post negative shit about zelda you little ignorant bit**

  • @diaryofmouse My comment wasn't negative at all, I'm soo excited for Skyward Sword so Fuck you bitch.

  • @diaryofmouse And btw i'm one of the biggest Zelda fans ever, I would never say shit about Zelda, you must have misread my comment or something, idiot.

  • and to think we got a great game with shitty celshading :(

  • This seems more relate-able to Twilight Princess, which turned out looking a hundred times better anyway.

  • I finished wind waker 5 times and 3/4 because I had no other games for my gc

  • LMFAO are people REALLY still raging at wind waker? for fuck's sake its been 8 years! let it go... let it go.... shhhh, it's okay!!

  • Assets of this tech demo were carried over to the 3DS version of Ocarina of Time.

  • I'm sure this must be the sequel of Majora's Mask. Because when Link is returned back in time, Ganondorf is still there. And after he defeated Majora, he might brought back the shield he got from Termina and pulled the Master Sword and defeat Ganondorf like in this video.

  • @AlyssaQistina98 It's not a sequel to anything. It's just a tech demo -_-

  • Hey! Link has the hero shield from Majora's Mask!

  • the thing is that tech demo is what majora's mask sequel would have been and the link in it IS the hero of time who grew up naturally. they scrapped that legend to make a new legend with a new link. so you can'T really compare windwaker with this demo as they're not the same.

  • was this shit recorded from a spoon?

  • Is it weird that Ganon looks like Reggie?

  • @KitsuneRyuuka Reggie is Bowser

  • Could have been...but WW was...>_>

  • He's got the Majora's Mask shield :P

  • @thorn96 Its the Hylian shield and its been in pretty much all the zelda games through the series since it was introduced in a link to the past I think. There have been slight changes but its pretty much the same shield.

  • @samesvids I know this, but the version in this video is identical to the one from Majora's Mask.

  • @samesvids but it's the same design from majora's mask if you look carefully. so maybe they planned a sequel to it since ganondorf never was defeated in that timeline.

  • @Atstyle Ah! Youre correct. I see now. Although its the same timeline as Ocarina of time but I guess after link got sent back in time Ganondorf would still have been alive. Such a confusing time line.

  • My only complain is.... Why did they not use this type of graphics when they released OOT for the gamecube along with Master Quest? Instead they use the original port.... That would be fine if... WE DIDN'T HAVE A COLLECTORS EDITION.... Yes the 3DS remake looks good... But OOT deserves better. It deserves a full console HD remake.

  • this looks like they were going to make majoras mask link come back to fight ganon again

  • I kind of understand why so many people were angry when they found out the next Zelda game for the GameCube was going to look like that, after they already got a GameCube demo shown of a more serious and realistic Link. But Wind Waker was a great game though, and I think Twilight Princess was what Shigeru Miyamoto put out to happy the fans again, and now OoT 3D is coming out which is the more serious Link, and Skyward Sword is like a combination of both serious and not as serious! :D

  • @Darklinkzelda yep a lot of challenge in windwaker, but the cellshading was shitty

  • @Darklinkzelda Yeah, because bright colors automatically make it not serious. Sigh...

  • @ragekage209 lol i bet he meant realalistic

  • @EmblicTree No, I think he or she meant serious because they typed it like 3 times. It's hard to make a mistake like that 3 times.

  • @ragekage209 lmao i didnt notice that he said it so much times -.- my eyes must suck >_>

  • @Darklinkzelda Twilight Princess was definitely fan service. Skyward Sword artwork-wise actually has nothing to do with those games' style, its based on impressionistic artwork (which makes me like it).

  • @Darklinkzelda WW=Shit, TP=Mediocre shit OoT 3D=$ for nintendo SS=Undecided, but sad that they are still going towards the "kiddy" route... Zelda fans have grown up, Nintendo never did.

  • @Linkgt lol kids cant play zelda for shit, they're use to playing FPS shooters where u constantly run in one direction killing stuff with other objectives, Zelda actually requires more diverse thinking and strategy, kids get stuck on the first damn puzzle and say it sucks, and nintendo cant see it

  • @Linkgt Nah cmon man, that's not necessarily true.

  • Looks like TLoZ:OoT Remake for 3DS

  • I'm curious

    Had they actually gone with this instead of well Wind Waker,wouldn't that cancel out Twilight Princess as well?Cause if this truly is MM/Oot Link but grown up on his own,then whats Ganon doing there?Don't the wise men seal him in the Twilight Real during Majoras Mask?So if Ganon escapes very early or something,then that means Twilight Princess' story of Ganon using Zant to get out or some shit would never have happened.

  • In hindsight, this didn't really look all that good. I'm glad they went with WW.

  • The graphics in this demo look so good to me. They should've released this, as it's arguably what most people would've wanted; the graphics and style look just like that of OoT and MM, except with the graphical capacities the GameCube has. And really, I love Wind Waker, but I would have preferred something like this. The graphics just don't fit something like Zelda as much to me, the same going for TP; the entire oil-paint like style is not of my liking.

  • wind waker? linear?????? O_O

  • Wind Waker was unexpected, but it was an absolutely amazing game.

  • Woooah, did anyone else notice that Link is holding the Hero's Shield from Majora instead of the Hylian Shield? trippy

  • I would have loved to play a zelda game like this. too bad everything after this video was complete shit and kiddy casual bullshit.

    such bullshit.

  • @newdoom3 That's frustratingly ignorant of you...

    Look at some of the comments and you'll know what you missed because of your short-sighted standards.

  • my favorite zelda game....yet

  • it just me or do they look like action figures? thank god they went with windwaker, i mean, when it came out i thought it was going to be horrible but the game was awsome

  • I remember seeing seeing lots of vids from this tech demo around the web with sound back in the day but now I can't even find one.

  • Looking back on this trailer, it would appear that the graphics look very similar to Skyward Sword

  • @Shadowsamaman or Twilight Princess, for that matter.

  • Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and Twilight Princess will always be better than windwaker. Nuff said! :D

  • @jordanthemonkey8 that doesnt mean that wind waker isn't an absolutely fantastic game

  • @blizzfool true. windwaker is a mediocre game, and the fact remains that Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and Twilight Princess will always be better than windwaker. 'Nuff said :D

  • @jordanthemonkey8 no, i think you missed what i was trying to say, windwaker was an absolutely fantastic game. thats...what i was trying to say

  • I prefer Wind Waker's cel-shading over this. That game was amazing.

  • did you noticed that's the hero's shield from majora's mask

  • Also, is it me, or is Tp a really stripped-down game? Very few sidequests to speak of, and not a whole lot of (legit) secrets or even items at all. Fuck, no magic meter! wtf is up with that?

  • I Was Mad At First When Wind Waker Came Out But After I Played It I Quickly Retracted My False Assumption Wind Waker Is The 2nd Best Console Zelda Game Hands Down

  • @troyterry2445 The overworld is indeed superb. But, like all console Zelda games past OoT, there was a severe shortage of dungeons. :( I mean 4?!! Really? 5 if you count Ganon's tower? 

    Also, the fight system was a huge improvement and there were several creative and fun items.

    If they had done the graphics (which i like, personally) the way everyone had wanted from the beginning... Then it would have been considered the best Zelda game in history. Perhaps.

  • wierd

  • i wish they would have used these grahics. :(

  • like everyone i was pissed when i saw the wind waker graphics, but after 2 minutes of playing it, this goes straight outa the window and it become another awesome zelda game and is now one of my faves

  • I used to think " Aw, damn, we could've had THIS! But instead they gave us that little cel-shaded bitch!!"

    But, the Windwaker game us a whole new link, and a new series of handheld Zelda games that just wouldn't be the same without "Toon Link". That, and the Wind Waker was a pretty kick ass game. =]

  • Windwaker's cel-shading was a really cool effect that made it easier for the design team to generate some of the things that they did in that world. If they went for the suedo-realistic style they were going for in OoT and MM, they a) probably wouldn't have been able to fit that large of a world in that disk, b) were able place the bird people and the human-ish people side by side without looking completely out of order, and c) cover up one of the darker storylines in the franchise

  • Two more things, they probably wouldn't have been able to generate the bird people in very much detail.. The feathers alone would take up a lot of space.. Their city would have like three people..

    Also, you have to admit, besides Majora's Mask, Windwaker depicts probably the darkest world in the franchise yet story-wise..

  • I actually really liked the cel-shading. That gave the game a lot of charm.

  • @Aleanization Just a tech demo. Probably only ever a pre-rendered cutscene.

  • @Aleanization Tech Demo, nuf said...

  • LOL why would he toss his shield aside??

  • remember when I saw this the 1st time, what a disapoiment has been the last 10 years of zelda >=(

  • Heh, at 0:20, it looks like Link had lipstick on.

  • If you guys played all the way through windwaker, got all the little things to max out your file and realized how awesome and not linear the game play was with the whole sailing the ocean thing is, you would love it. At first I thought it was gay but I played through it and got everything when I was about 14 I would say and I loved every damn bit of it. By no means a disgrace to the series.

  • @wolf1010 damn straight! plus, if you beat the game and save it to a file, the next play through on that file you play through the ENTIRE game in Link's blue shirt and orange pants! :D

  • @StreetsOfYuke Oh shit I remember that =]

  • @wolf1010 awesome! :D

  • @wolf1010 it only took me 5 minutes of gameplay to figure out its awesome, but i see your point

  • @wolf1010 It's my fave in fact. If you HAD to call one a discrace or a "black sheep" may I remind everyone of a certain Zelda ii. Zelda ii could of been a great game of its own, heck even spawn a new series but as a Zelda sequel, no.

  • @wolf1010 The thing with Wind Waker is that it was made during a period where Nintendo really was phoning it in and it shows. I liked it, but it was short, much shorter than Ocarina of Time even though the Gamecube had the ability to make a longer game, and there were those long sailing periods and the Triforce fishing quest that just bored me. You enjoy it because you go whole hog and do absolutely everything with it. Most people don't, and thus most people aren't seeing the satisfaction in it.

  • @wolf1010 windwaker was the shit. definetely one of my favorites.. if anything was a disgrace to the series i would say tp is..

  • @wolf1010 I agree. Windwaker is one of my favorite Zelda games. Next to ocarina and ALTTP. Hell, they're all good really. Except the second one imo.

  • @wolf1010 I tried playing through that game 100% I got absolutely everything except for 1 figurine. Gummy from Windfall Island. I have no idea why, but no matter how many times I tried I absolutely could not get a descent picture of him. I eventually gave up & quit playing. Then my memory card got corrupted, I feel like the dude from Earnest Hemingway's "The Old Man & the Sea"

  • Comment removed

  • ...hero of time... is that you??? O-O

  • Nintendo cock-teased us with this demo. But thankfully Twilight Princess came out and ended up looking even better.

    Also, small point, but wasn't there sound for this?

  • @MrLunitunz

    yeah, there was some epic music attached to it.

  • y do people only have demos of this game? Did this game really come out or was it just a thought of a zelda game?

  • @96Thompson Nobody have the demo other than Nitnendo. It was a tech deo to show the power of the gamecube at the time.

  • That looked awful compared to today's standards. But it was really awesome when it was first shown.

  • This looks amazing, really. I can tell they used the fight are for TP (the ice area (can't remember the name lol)). Look closely. ....what? Can't you see it has the same concept as the ice area for TP or is it just me..?

  • This looks like a pile of shit. Haha.

  • Is there a higher resolution version of this extended video anywhere?

  • Epic nd twilight princess Link looks better

  • How did this turn into wind waker!? I love wind waker, it's a wonderful game. I'm just curious... this looks more like a trailer for super smash bros melee... *shrug*

  • Link looks like the biggiest pussy : /

  • I can't wait for this game to come out.

  • @Zgamer618 This video has been out for years. Since before Wind Waker was released. This game isn't ever coming out.

  • @VampiressFira LoL I know I just wanted to see how long it would take for someone to say something.

  • i think this is just like a beta for possibly Links soulcaliber model if namco didnt make it, maybe they where planning on making a zelda fighting game, and they said "fuck that" just give us link and well throw him in Soul Caliber II

  • Looks like SSBM :O

  • I think we all know The best Zelda Games are "Ocarnia Of Time" and "The Majoras Mask" you cant get better then them! Infact I just beat Ocarnia Of Time again after so many times I have played it. These two games never get old there fun forever! I must say Nintendo 64 is the best Nintendo to ever come out! I mean I like Sega, Super Nintendo, Play Station, Wii all Nintendos but still in my eyes Nintendo 64 was and still is the best Nintendo system ever made Kick ass!

  • believe it or not, this kind of graphics test was created back in the 1995's, i wonder why they didn't use it in video games. :S

  • @lowhigh000 This was probably a prerendered animation that used the same graphics that the GC did, so everything was recorded earlier, in Video Games the game can't predict what the next move you make will be, when it is recorded though, it can just play out.

  • MARCH 3 1999 THAT WAS FOUR DAYS BEFORE I WAS BORN

    well the gamecube eventually "leveled up" its graphics as more intense games came into play. pun intended haha

  • No way the gamecube could deliver these graphs...

  • @TheBelva85 it were able to deliver twilight princess, and that has better graphis than this.
