I still own my Wii U so TPHD/TWWHD aren't an issue. Nintendo needs to come out with a SS HD though. Vastly underrated game and it would be awesome to see the game fully realized in its visual splendor.

Neonridr2243d ago

a three pack of them would be pretty awesome though.

guywazeldatatt2243d ago

This is what I want. OoT and MM are on the 3DS, but to have tww, tp, and SD on one cartridge for the Switch would be awesome

guywazeldatatt2242d ago

I think it will happen in one form or another. BoTW has made Zelda more popular than ever and they will be introducing these games to a new generation of Zelda fans. If they don't, it's a huge missed opportunity.

guywazeldatatt2242d ago

Most people didn't own one though. Or ever did. The Switch has already surpassed it in sales.

Pookandpie2242d ago

Skyward Sword could definitely use the HD treatment, especially if they fix some of the issues SS originally had (extremely obtrusive tutorials to the point of showing you what a blue rupee is every time you pick one up after powering off the system, the Imprisoned really doesn't need to be fought three times, honestly, among other things).

That game had some of the best combat and dungeon design in the entirety of the Zelda series, though. Seriously- I don't remember the name of the boss, but it's the mechanical one with multiple arms? Best fight in any 3D Zelda. It's rewarding, intuitive, and inventive.

Zeldafan642242d ago

It never bothered me having to fight the Imprisoned 3 times.

The name of the boss you're thinking of is Koloktos.

It surprises me that you aren't advocating for getting rid of the motion controls. For the record I love the motion controls.

Pookandpie2241d ago

I would never recommend getting rid of the motion controls- Koloktos is where the truly shine as a unique and gratifying experience. I never had an issue with them throughout the entire game, but that's because I wasn't pointing my remote at my sensor bar (which, admitting, is what the Wii trained people to do for years up to this point).

The tutorials and Imprisoned were my least favorite parts of the game- even more so than the empty backtracking, etc.. The motion controls were on point, though.

Sirk7x2242d ago

I'd like to see a modified SS, removing much of the hand holding, streamlining some of it, and world changes such as loading the entire Skyloft at once, so hopping on a bird is seamless instead of going to a loading screen. Perhaps even a new lighting engine like WW HD had. The story and artwork in SS are beautiful, and with some minor changes to alleviate the flaws, could easily be one of the best Zelda games.

Zeldafan642242d ago

I'm surprised I'm not seeing anyone say they should ditch the motion controls.

If they came out with a bundle like this, I would buy a Switch in a heartbeat. I could play BotW and some of my favorite entries all on one convenient system!

emiyaxtousaka2242d ago

It would actually kinda make the Switch a Zelda machine, which would be great for Zelda fans. I think SS would come out separately though, and WW and TP should be bundled since they would be ports of the Wii U versions, while SS would be a remaster from the ground up.

guywazeldatatt2242d ago

I just want SS HD personally, but it would be nice to have WW and TP too, since the Y button on my GamePad sticks and I don't want to buy a pro controller. SS HD would being able to finally showcase the watercolor effect that didn't quite come across in 480p.

Sgt_Slaughter2242d ago

I would love two HD Collections. One for 3DS with the original games (maybe a reworked LoZ II) updated in the LBW Engine, and Ages/Seasons, then the console games updated for Switch at 1080p/60fps. Would be a lot to do but since they already have updated engines and such, redoing those games wouldn't take too long.

Mr_Writer852242d ago

Haha haha Nintendo releasing a collection of Zelda games lol.

If they did, they would be separate and £70 each.

Lockdown5552242d ago

Yeah, that there's no way Nintendo would ever do that those greedy pigs...

...looks over at the Zelda Collectors Edition for the GameCube.

-Foxtrot2242d ago

Yeah and how long ago was that? The industry is very different from those days

Mr_Writer852242d ago

They were HD remakes were they?

They were just ports, and I'm pretty sure it cost more than the standard WW.

Lockdown5552242d ago (Edited 2242d ago )

Although they were pretty much just ports they did have higher resolutions and a few other minor tweaks. Stating that the game industry is different now is a bunch of BS. I could see the inclusion of SS being a bit far fetched but a bundle of the two HD relreleases that have already been made on the Wii U would be almost an identical set up where they release a bundle that includes the two major Zelda games released on the previous console. On top of that fact Nintendo is obviously getting pretty good at porting Wii U games these days.

jjb19812242d ago

This would be so awesome but I can see Nintendo Milking them for $50 a piece.

Honestly I really changed my mind on Fi with the remaster because they didn't make her interrupt your gameplay every 5 seconds, that drastically changed my views on her

Inverno99d ago

Technically she's in ToTK but obviously can't take any other form than the sword she was made into. Also the companion feature has been done plenty of times in Zelda, I don't think it'll add anything new. If anything should be brought back it should be the Minish.

Directionless Modern Zelda Should Return to its 3D Roots

Matt from We Game Daily writes "The Legend of Zelda series has gone in a different direction. One which, try as I have, I just can’t get on board with. Here is why I think Zelda should return to its 3D roots."

Amen! A good, tight, Zelda game with a focus on dungeons and puzzles. Let people have the new style Zelda if you gotta, but let us have the OoT style games too. That's not without precedent either, the handheld 2D Zelda's in the style of A Link to the Past etc have coexisted alongside the 3D Zelda's before

FinalFantasyFanatic130d ago

As much as I like BoTW, TotK, I need my traditional Zelda games as well, I could not endlessly play the open world Zelda games, plus it's harder to keep those fresher than the traditional games.

Eidolon130d ago (Edited 130d ago )

BotW was just as fresh to the franchise as OoT was. TokT was great but the next LoZ would have to move from that formula to be fresh again. There's only so much they can do with the hardware. I think they focused too much on making the world big instead impactful. I felt the world was sort of empty and repetitive in TotK, sure there was a lot to do but no more difference a Ubisoft game..

anast130d ago

I wouldn't worry too much. Nintendo knows what they are doing.

Ristul130d ago

Wind Waker had a perfect balance of open world and a cool, well hand-crafted design. Maybe try to keep the open world but put in effort to make more memorable story driven quests and locations.

Zelda Fan Brings Godzilla to Life in Tears of the Kingdom

A fan of The Legend of Zelda has recreated the iconic Japanese monster Godzilla in Tears of the Kingdom using the game's Zonai devices.

Knightofelemia168d ago

I like it would also be cool if some created Dragon Caesar in the game I would love to watch the two going at it.
