The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD (Wolfing It Down)

If you require DF to tell you that, it's not a big deal apart from to the 1080p obsessives.

I was just passing on maybe the best comparison.

It clearly, to the naked eye, looks a lot cleaner and nicer than the original. It still has the same artstyle, which because it is a bit vague and varies from realistic to cartoony isn't as good as the games either side of it, but it does look good.

The mirrored bit at the beginning of the video made me queasy.

Officially won't be getting it - I'm still playing it right now

Zero's TP progress:

and am going to put my cash of the month of March towards Pokkén Tournament. Not that TPHD won't be brilliant, you understand.

At the time I liked the realistic art-style and the tech demo we had of Zelda when the Wii U was first show at E3.

I pre-ordered my copy from Amazon yesterday. They've got the standard version for £40, or you can buy the limited edition with the Wolf Link amiibo and a CD for £42 which is a pretty good deal I reckon if you want the amiibo too. You can get both here.

It's been around 7 or so years since I've played this all the way through, and it is one of my favourite Zelda games having finished it 3 times. The only thing I hated was collecting those bloody light things. That was worse than the Triforce search in WW.

Well you're in luck; they've cut down the number of tears for this version.

Thank goodness for that. I just felt it detracted far too much from the game.
I'm getting more excited about this as the days go on, especially since there's only a week between that and Pokemon coming out on the VC.

I can't be the only one who isn't happy about them being removed? Then again I was unhappy they cut down the triforce hunt in Wind Waker HD.

This came out today! My copy arrived while I was out and I need to pick it up from the sorting office tomorrow.

Sorry Drunka . To make matters worse for you, I've got mine, but I'm not playing it 'cause I'm absolutely laid out with the fevers at the moment.

I have to go pick my copy up, but at the moment I just can not be bothered jumping in the car and going

Started this last night, got about 3hrs in which has took me to the forest temple.

That it's just getting going.

Yeah I'm at the same point, just got to the Forrest temple

That's exactly why I don't want to replay TP

3 hours to start the game

I think I'm in a minority, but I love the opening to TP. And Twilight Princess in general! It hasn't aged as well as WW or SS, even upresed, but it does have a beauty of its own. And the slow, melancholic, nostalgic opening really makes me believe Link likes his simple village life, and has something worth fighting for.

I did the forest temple which is a great temple,

I don't dislike the start but needs to be slightly shorter then ohh you've only done one temple and your 4hrs odd in.

It does, but it's not very fun, and you could achieve the same in much less than 3 hours. You can watch an entire film of character development in that time.

I like the fact that games can be a little slower, you can just get to love the world as well as the character. Films can't afford to spend 3 hours doing that as they don't have that long

Not saying all games should be slow starters, but especially in an age with hundreds of indies that last that long it can be a nice break.

If I remember correctly, Zero might be able to remind us but isn't TP to long in general and is a 25hr game padded out to be 40hrs.

I'm in the same boat as Drunka. I love the opening to Twilight Princess. It's part of the reason why I still have fond memories of playing it - it's that nostalgia factor that's key to me.

My playthrough nudged 50 hours, if I remember rightly.

As for the slow start - it might not be what you expect of a Zelda game, and it could do without the ruddy fishing

DIGRESSION ALERT: Almost legally bound to mention the ruddy fishing whenever I can - I only worked out how to do it when I was catching the final must-get fish.

but it's always good for the development team to try new things. As has been mentioned, the story has a more epic sweep than most Zelda games and the set-up is a big part of that.

I thought it was fun. Anyway, I've not gotten very far because I'm exploring absolutely everything at a very leisurely pace.

I don't remember the start being as slow as it is, I played through it twice on Wii and never noticed. It's not to say it's bad but I mainly remember later moments in the game and it's making me a bit techie to get going properly.
