WWHD does look better in a lot of places.
WW looks better in most places.
WWHD made many much welcome quality design adjustment to how the game was played.
WW however is ultimately the better game anyway because it has the Tingle Tuner.

If they had just ported the Gamecube game and gave it wide screen and HD it would've looked better than what they did, pic related

You can do this in Dolphin and should've been what they did + minor gameplay/pacing changes

Not that anon, but no it doesn't - there is no instance in either version with characters actually looking like the left artwork, they never have black outlines

WWHD looks significantly better in almost all scenarios. At worst the lighting sometimes fucks up the gradient effect. A small concession for a overall improvement.

>inb4 people parroting mr. potato head's video
>>
>>343243175
It's fine here, but WWHD's biggest problem is that in very common instances or very important ones (opening a chest, looking at the triforce), it completely fucks up the lighting for no reason

>>343242884
Well, what they REALLY needed to do is update the models as well, but that's effort

The bloom makes everywhere look cold.

The textures were always the game's biggest sin, but you don't notice it the way you do when models get redone

TPHD's outdoor environments still look as bland as they did on GC, but the interior environments in houses/dungeons look noticeably much better.

While WWHD is the exact opposite. It looks really good when you're outside under the sunset, but when you're indoors it looks the same or worse than the GC version.

It's pretty weird how parallel they are.
>>
>>343240385
WW HD has bloom out the ass and no fucking mini-map on screen.

A lesson they seemed to have learned with TP HD and Breath of the Wild was putting the mini-map back in where it belongs.

That ain't streched, it has a widescreen patch so it shows more on the sides.
Also there's a custom version of dolphin where you can kinda play with the shading to give it stuff that the GC would never support like SSAO

Why does she need a reason for changing skin color? She's Zelda, transforming herself back and forth between brown and white at will is just a thing she is able to do... Just like how OoT Zelda can transform between a muscular ninja lady and a slim princess at will. In this case, Tetra is her "Shiek" form.
>>
They should have made Tetra and Zelda separate characters.

It's more to do with her disguise. Take a look a Sheik, a much tanner skin color than Zelda in OOT. Same thing here. Magic is the answer to everything.

If these images were flipped, it would be optimal to edit the text boxes with Zelda's saying "It's magic" and Tetra's saying "I ain't gotta explain shit"

But I'm too lazy to do that right now, so just imagine it.

Takuto is the name of zelda in japanese.
She is actually a he in crossdress.

It's Tack, the Japanese name of the Wind Waker is Wind Tack. I'm guessing they just use it as shorthand because it's the last word in the title.

Even guis are hard to look at in games without it distracting you.
At high speeds in GTA looking at the map pretty much instantly results in a crash.
Texting while driving really is a bad idea it's amazing how much time seems to pass when you think you're only looking away for a bit.

WWHD looks pretty impressive, but holy fuck, OG WW looks so fucking good.

really, it comes down to personal preference more than anything though
at the absolute least, I think OG WW's look is more self-consistent than the kind of cartoony, kind of smooth look of WWHD

I thought it was pretty good for the most part, but it does look pretty bad when you're looking at the horizon when it's blocked by parts of the island you're on since everything looks horrendously bloomy and washed out, and when you're inside buildings and you have a view of the outside it also looks extremely bloomy. Windfall is also really hit or miss with how it looks. At least at night everything looked fantastic since there was no real bloom at all.

>>343243954
Because adding it would force you into the pause menu to actually equip stuff and you wouldn't be able to access your maps since I don't recall them being on the top screen. Granted, they could have easily made it another section on the gamepad so I don't understand why they didn't bother at all.
