Default The Legend of Zelda: Wiind Waker

I really think a TLoZ:WW remake for Wii would be awesome. To me, WW is the best Zelda yet!

Default Wind Waker

Is that because you like the sea and that because you like OnePeace.

I never got into Wind Waker
The other 3 3D ones I found brilliant though.

I played Wind Waker before I watched/read One Piece! I just think it is the best. And yes, I like the sea. :P

I really do like TWW in every way apart from the shortness on the game, it should be as long as TP. Otherwise I think it's still too early for a remake of it, wait for the next Nintendo Console and hope that they also remakes OOT

I disagree with the whole concept of remaking a Zelda to be honest. I personally believe that the game should fully move forward and onto new ideas instead of implementing some minor updates to an old game.

From what I've seen at the moment the market has been given remakes that don't make sense (Ninja Gaiden and the hilariously short Chronicles of Riddick) I just don't want to see Nintendo getting all tied up in revamping something when there is much more scope to expand the concept of Zelda and make the series even better by injecting some new lease of life.

Remember.. the Wii still hasn't seen it's very own Zelda game yet, I don't know about the majority here but I'd rather see where they take the franchise with a new Wii only edition rather than remaking one of their old games. Perhaps, the only Zelda game I wouldn't mind THAT much if they remade would be ALTTP... but even so, it still would have the exact same story, characters and basic structure so in that respect I'd still prefer a new one.

I agree with Makeda, Wind Waker shouldn't be remade.
I do think though it's my favourite Zelda game, and I found the sailing sections to be great and relaxing. I thought the length was just right - I've been struggling to finish Twilight Princess (I just don't have the motivation anymore to do HUGE quests).

I like the fact that Nintendo seem to have adopted the Wind Waker style for the not-quite-proper Zeldas (that is, the handheld ones and Four Swords Adventures spring to mind) and more adult style for the big adventures.
Having said that, there will be no more Zeldas like Twilight Princess or Wind Waker or Ocarina of Time, so who knows what direction the true Wii Zelda will bring?

Reading so many people sharing my opinion, I HAVE to say mine.

What are you going to expect from a remake of WW?
Every remake (which makes sense after at least 10 years of the original release date) has to be an improvement of the original.
These improvements can be basically reduced to 2 aspects.
- Gameplay
- Technology

Lets's start with the first one:
Zelda is the same game from OOT to TP. Miyamoto already stated years ago (at the beginning of TP development) that TP wpuld have been the LAST Zelda of this kind. Making another WW will be useless if the next Zelda is totally (and finally) "NEW".

Tech issue: WW is one of the finest looking games ever, graphics is very simple but effective, so it is difficult to improve it keeping the same feeling, and changing it a lot (say:realistic, TP style) would be like destroying its predominant feature.
Music score is one of the most touching experience in gaming.

A perfect example of a good and very welcomed remake is Metroid:Zero Mission. As for WW (and for quite the same reasons) a remake of Super Metroid would be useless, it's already perfect.

While I agree with you Neuzd I'm unsure about the final point you made.
I'm personally in a anti-remake mode at the present time but if I wasn't I would definitely say that a 2D game such as Super Metroid should get a 3D revamp as that would be sweet and it make people like myself who only ever got a chance to play Metroid when it came out on the GC feel more in touch with Super Metroid (for the record: I'm buying this the moment I have cash to do so on VC)
