A reader means that Nintendo rework GameCube sport Zelda: The Wind Waker and add in a brand new dungeon to deal with a number of the unique’s flaws.
Most issues about Nintendo are a thriller however the massive puzzle in the meanwhile is once they’re going to announce the Change 2 and what they’re going to do between now and when it’s out. They’ve acquired nearly nothing introduced in the meanwhile however a Nintendo Direct promised for someday this month. I assume it’ll simply be a set of small video games and remasters but it surely’s Nintendo, so who is aware of… issues like Metroid Prime 4 are nonetheless undoubtedly in play.
One factor that has come up plenty of occasions is the concept that it is going to be a few years earlier than we get a brand new mainline Zelda and so Nintendo will need to fill the hole with spin-offs, remasters, and remakes. There’s been numerous attention-grabbing debate about what remake would make most sense, with numerous followers suggesting different Sport Boy Coloration and top-down video games, given Hyperlink’s Awakening was the final remake.
Any Zelda remake is ok by me, however my suggestion is The Wind Waker. It already has a remaster, that Nintendo has to date resisted the temptation to re-release on Change, however a remake would serve a goal that isn’t relevant to any of the opposite Zelda video games: it might enhance it.
The Wind Waker is a good sport however as many followers will know numerous content material was reduce from the ultimate launch and it’s very apparent within the final third that all of it appears very padded out. There seems to be a lacking dungeon and as an alternative all you get is countless Triforce quests that underline that the crusing is definitely type of boring.
It’s a disgrace, as a result of if it wasn’t for these issues I feel it could be the most effective Zelda of all of them, not less than by way of the unique method. The dungeon design is the best possible of the most effective, the graphics are superb (and wouldn’t want to alter a lot for a remake), and it has tons of nice characters… and Tingle.
I’m undecided I’ve ever seen Nintendo discuss intimately about what they took out, as a result of it doesn’t appear to me just like the type of factor they’d prefer to admit, however there was undoubtedly one thing occurring within the GameCube interval, as Tremendous Mario Sunshine had comparable issues. The distinction is I don’t assume there’s any method you would ever make that the most effective Mario sport.
As a result of it’s not clear precisely what went on, I’m undecided if the dungeon was ever designed or not. I assume it wasn’t created however absolutely there should be design sketches, perhaps even plans and layouts.
But when not, simply make a brand new one from scratch. It will in all probability do Nintendo good to maintain in apply with dungeon design, seeing as how they’ve been scaled again within the trendy video games – particularly as I feel that was nonetheless the weakest a part of Tears Of The Kingdom.
By way of the crusing, I’d make it one thing extra than simply pointing your self in a course and travelling in a straight line. The crusing seemed nice, but it surely wanted to be tougher and contain some talent, not simply understanding which course to make the wind blow.
With the brand new content material I’d reduce the Triforce items, as a result of I don’t assume there’s anyway to make that attention-grabbing and it was clearly simply filler. If there’s a brand new dungeon, I feel that will work out however perhaps there’s additionally misplaced content material that may very well be added in and even stuff they wished to do however by no means even began.

This isn’t how remakes often work, and I’m attempting to cease myself from enthusiastic about the Star Wars particular editions as I counsel this, however I actually assume this could be an amazing thought and assist elevate an amazing sport right into a full-blown traditional. Are Nintendo prone to do it? In all probability not, however that’s my thought anyway.
