Zelda Williams to do “Something Extra Special” at E3
Zelda Williams, daughter of famed comedian Robin Williams and named after Princess Zelda, will be making an appearance at the upcoming E3 convention in LA next month – apparently to do “something extra special”.
Zelda tweeted the announcement to her followers today, shortly followed by another tweet suggesting that “I’m going to guarantee you, it’s not what you think”.
Zelda and her father were previously involved with Nintendo during the promotion of Wii title Skyward Sword, and also featured as part of the 25th anniversary celebrations of the franchise.
So what could Zelda be hinting at with her tweets? It’s worth noting that her favorite Zelda game is reportedly Majora’s Mask – and there have been many rumors circulating recently that this title is next in line for a remake, like the 3DS version of Ocarina of Time or the Wii U’s Wind Waker.
Let the further speculation begin!

Windwaker HD wasn’t a remake.

What do you mean? What was it then? It was originally on GameCube …

It’s a HD port…am I in noobville here? God damn x_x

I think you could make arguments for both, seeing as Nintendo made so many changes and improvements. It wasn’t a straight port.
Either way, there’s absolutely no need to be hostile.

Errr I wasn’t being hostile -___- Anyway, “so many changes”? Like? Streamlining the triforce quest/sailing is all I can think of apart from the bolder colours and additional textures which ruin the whole toon look, in my opinion.

Apologies, I’m just not used to seeing name-calling and swearing in the comments on this site and it would be great if we could keep it that way. I get my fill of that elsewhere.
You’re forgetting Miiverse integration with the Tingle bottles (awesome!) and the brilliant use of the GamePad (map, inventory, controls, off-TV play). I also remember reading that the animations for pulling up treasure from the sea floor were shortened, and I’m sure there were other tweaks here and there. Nintendo didn’t just slap on a new beautiful coat of paint. They improved the gameplay too.

Just wow. If you think “God damn” is profanity then religious fundamentalism has to be stopped as soon as possible! No one uses that phrase in the prescriptive, archaic way you’re suggesting I did anymore. The English lexicon is not static, it is ever changing. I put ‘God’ in front of ‘damn’ for emphasis, nothing more. Where are you from? Southern America?
Anyway, I’d settle on calling Windwaker HD an ‘enhanced port’, but we’re getting into subjective territory here and that’s a pointless destination.

I think it’s easy to misinterpret the meaning behind someone’s posts, it’s hard to 100% correctly convey emotions this way. You did come across as a little hostile, but I’m sure it was also partly our interpretation. It’s not a bad thing to discuss opinions, and at the end of the day – didn’t we all enjoy WW again, regardless? ;)

If WW were exactly the same between the GC version and the Wii U version, I would have labeled it as a HD port. Seeing as there were changes and improvements (though not many) made to the game, this would be a remake rather than a port. Yes, a majority of the game remained the same and is still the tried and true WW experience we remember from the GC but Nintendo did not simply release the game with just prettier graphics.

It’s good some discussion at least – and I think we can now all agree it was basically a remake :)
Let’s bring on E3 and something new and exciting for Zelda fans!

Those weren’t fundamental changes to the game. They were tweaks. It’s a HD port, but if you want to call it a remake and believe Nintendo’s propaganda then feel free.

No different than square enid calling FFX HD and hd remake, that was so misleading :/.
