Are the HD Remakes of Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, and Skyward Sword Worth Playing?

-

I’m curious about the HD ports of Wind Waker (WW), Twilight Princess (TP), and Skyward Sword (SS). I’ve played the original versions but haven’t tried the remakes yet. I know there are some mixed opinions on things like the blooming effect in WW, the change from rupees to stamps in TP, and the pricing of SS. Those issues kind of concern me. For some context, I really enjoyed Ocarina of Time 3D and Majora’s Mask 3D. So, should I dive into the HD versions?

Yes for Wind Waker, a definite must-play! The graphics are timeless, and the texture upgrades really bring it to life. Skyward Sword is also worth it mainly for the refinements—they reduced the annoying interruptions and shortened the triforce quest. Such improvements make the HD versions enjoyable and much smoother than the originals.

What about Twilight Princess? Any major changes there?

Absolutely, I’d say go for all three! They each have their own unique enhancements that make them worth it. Wind Waker in particular looks stunning with the updated visuals. It’s like the art style just pops! While Skyward Sword’s graphics upgrade isn’t as noticeable, using a joystick is a big plus if you’re not a fan of the motion controls. Just give them a shot!
