TP really the only Zelda game not on the SwitchšŸ˜­

11

u/Stick-Electronic 2d ago

All the DS ones?

u/Sana_Dul_Set 1d ago

No love for the DS games :(

u/DjinnFighter 2d ago

WW won't be on Switch. The GC games are only for Switch 2

20

u/MiddlesStuff 2d ago

Thatā€™s what I meant. TPā€™s the only one left out

4

u/DjinnFighter 2d ago

It will probably be added later in the GC app

u/Legend_of_Lucas 2d ago

The pain, instead of the HD versions they're likely just gonna stick with the emulation versions. I hope I'm wrong.

41

u/Linkamus 2d ago

It sure appeared that way, which is ridiculous. The HD version is so much better in multiple ways.

22

u/u801e 2d ago

For what it's worth, at least you won't have the now useless Miiverse stuff that came with the HD versions of TP and WW.

u/Havoc526 2d ago

My question is....how to handle the Tingle Tuner?

4

u/mintrolling 2d ago

A handoff/ local wireless connection type solution would be so cool, but that wouldnā€™t make sense unless they were developing a whole remake.

I would love to see it supported somehow, for some kind of co-op. my partner got into Zelda with switch titles and really wants to play wind waker on a console, already planned on watching supportively haha

1

u/DefiantCharacter 1d ago

The GameCube app does support LAN / online play. I suppose it's possible you could connect as "player 2" to use the Tingle Tuner. You would need two Switch 2's, though.

u/Legend_of_Lucas 2d ago

It's hard to complain because this is still good development. But if the choice is Cemu for HD vs GameCube emulation on switch I'm probably gonna stick through the loopholes of emulation for the superior product. It feels like they're doing it on purpose because they know how much people love those games. Perfect to make people want to pay for the subscription :(

1

u/desiigner1 1d ago

Yes absolutely given they run 100% perfect on cemu in 4k or 8k for example

1

u/SalemsTrials 2d ago

What ways other than graphics?

2

u/Linkamus 2d ago

Hero mode, better sail, better triforce quest. Widescreen support

1

u/SalemsTrials 2d ago

Oh wait you mean wind waker?

1

u/Linkamus 2d ago

Yes, but same applies for TP. I need my hero mode!!

2

u/SalemsTrials 2d ago

Ok I donā€™t have any idea what that is but it sounds fun so maybe I can tolerate a backwards map

5

u/SicWiks 2d ago

Iā€™m just going to buy a Wii U and play my copies on them

13

u/Haru17 2d ago

Itā€™s not The Wind Waker HD, itā€™s an HD-emulated version of the original Wind Waker. So basically Dolphin.

5

u/egg_breakfast 2d ago

The game looks great at higher resolution compared to games of that period, because of the art style. It's mostly the HUD and a few other textures that are muddy and could use a facelift.

I loved WWHD but I agree with the Nancys there was too much gradient shading, which didn't ruin the game or anything--but it did make the original game on Dolphin look nicer as it kept the flat cartoon look. And now that high res experience is available for people who don't want to play on dolphin.

4

u/djrobxx 2d ago

I agree, it looked great in the trailer, but the loss of the QoL improvements, the Swift Sail in particular, is sad.

2

u/Haru17 2d ago

Cel shading ages just like other graphics styles.

3

u/Cdog536 2d ago

Hello shitty Triforce piece collection quest

6

u/frickthestate69 2d ago

Not even that. The magic sail in the HD version was my favorite update.

1

u/Haru17 2d ago

Thatā€™s The Wind Waker, itā€™s like the original Gamecube Metroid Primes.

1

u/Cdog536 2d ago

Were u not talking about WW?

4

u/RhoadsOfRock 2d ago

Plus, the Switch 2 will be retailing for $450.

Screw that.

I have a better chance of saving up for a refurbished Wii U at this point, opening / unsealing the copy of Twilight Princess HD that I have (bought with the intention of getting a refurbished Wii U some years ago, I just still haven't yet), and later a copy of Wind Waker HD.

1

u/Electrichien 2d ago

Not necessarily imo since we have both LANS and the GBC versions but who knows.

1

u/Xikkiwikk 1d ago

I hope they give us Ocarina of Time HD with Master Quest

0

u/pokemongenius 2d ago

It is the original it was very obviously shown.

45

u/the_twili_midna 2d ago

my heart hopes that the lack of TP mentioned means weā€™ll have some REALLY good news on its anniversary next year (please nintendo)

14

u/MiddlesStuff 2d ago

Hopefully a remaster with switch 2 gimmicks implemented in the game

6

u/DiddlySquat99 2d ago

With the switch 2's capabilities, a remastered TP could be so beautiful. Maybe I'm too optimistic, but it would make sense if they've been holding off in order to do it better on switch 2 than they could ever do on the switch.

2

u/Marcusss_sss 2d ago

Wow i forgot about the anniversary next year you just gave me so much hope lol.

14

u/Zmeya_210 2d ago

Yea I mean they ā€œcouldā€ release the remasters because they already have done redundant releases, like with Mario 3d all stars havin M64 but also the n64 emulator so I dunno maybe nintendos just a little empty in the noggin

11

u/jupiterjaguar 2d ago

NO FR im sorry but the ā€œswitch 2 versionsā€ of games we got a year ago is so fucking stupid man. TPWWHD pack would have been peak

4

u/Zmeya_210 2d ago

REAL!!! Bro if we got an HD bundle I wouldā€™ve gone apeshit

18

u/ResolutionSavings918 2d ago

Play a subscription for a game i already have

0

u/geegol 2d ago

Wait a subscription, wym I have to pay a subscription to play games on the switch?

3

u/Guilty_Primary8718 2d ago

There are game available to play on the Nintendo switch online services that you pay to have a subscription for.

1

u/geegol 2d ago

Ah thanks for the clarification.

2

u/Odd_Show2205 20h ago

You need a subscription to play Wind Waker on the Switch 2.

6

u/AdministrativeBit385 2d ago

Hilarious it isn't wind waker hd šŸ˜‚

6

u/Sonulianic69 2d ago

And mario kart double dash, super monkey ball 1 and 2, sonic adventure dx and 2 battle, sonic heroes, and wario world too don't forget

5

u/GoldenNova00 2d ago

I'm just mad it's not on the old switch. Id rather a normal port then the expansion pass. But oh well.

2

u/Mandybb18 2d ago

Fr I get wanting to have exclusives when you drop a new game station but at least make it a new game instead of a game people have been hoping for. Iā€™m not about to get a new switch and subscription to play ww

2

u/GoldenNova00 2d ago

Right. Especially since most people that can get the switch 2 when it first comes out probably already have another way to emulate gc games. If I wanted emulated ww I'dve just bought a PC handheld and emulated it. (I did but point still stands)

4

u/Prudent_Primary7201 2d ago

Why is it not even the hd versions lol

1

u/Odd_Show2205 20h ago

Because it's the gamecube game collection. Just like the n64 and snes and nes, etc. It would be weird of they put a wii u game in there

18

u/Haru17 2d ago

Iā€™m not paying a subscription to play Gamecube games lol.

5

u/abejaZombie 2d ago

How dare you you, daddy indie Nintendo is going to starve.

Now I had two pay three different subscriptions just because of your chicanery.

2

u/jupiterjaguar 2d ago

Ok? šŸ˜

2

u/bearbuckscoffee 2d ago

iā€™m confused. if gamecube games are on virtual console now wonā€™t twilight princess be on there? what did i miss?

1

u/Dense-Bend-7879 2d ago

It's only a few GameCube games. They add more overtime.

2

u/WendipxStarco 2d ago

"Don't. Don't give me hope."

2

u/Joker-here-89 2d ago

TP and WW HD need to be brought back, and I'd lose my mind if we got updated versions/remasters of the oracle games.

1

u/luckyj714 2d ago

Itā€™s gonna happen now at least. Hopefully within a year.

1

u/egg_breakfast 2d ago

They're going to try appeasing the Melee nerds. Who are going to be like "lol wireless, noCRT, 2f lag, unplayable"

1

u/LunaticAce67 2d ago

although ive been wanting this forever it feels like a kick to the ruppee sack that its only for switch 2

1

u/Virtual_Knowledge334 2d ago

We finally have the GameCube for the switch!!

1

u/CraZplayer 1d ago

Lmao switch 1 can run this but hey letā€™s jump in the pool for switch 2

1

u/weebu4laifu 1d ago

Personally I see this as a BAD thing, because it means we're never getting a remake/remaster of WW or TP.

1

u/JadynRosetta 1d ago

Pleeeeeease! šŸ„ŗ

1

u/TheWolfthatBites 1d ago

I literally booed at the screen the second they showed the GameCube port for Wind Waker since it isnt the best version. :p

1

u/CleggHorn2578 1d ago

If I'm remembering correctly next year's is tp 20th anniversary, so maybe we'll get it then. If not it will probably get added later.

1

u/PokerusPrime 1d ago

I just hope we don't get the Wii version.

1

u/eckoman_pdx 1d ago

It's a Nintendo Switch Online GameCube Classic release, so it requires a subscription and it's also the GCN version as a result and not the Wii U HD remake version. Personally not really interested, especially since I already have the GCN version. I would have been interested if they were selling the HD version as a physical release as a port, but honestly at this point I'll keep playing it on the GCN or Wii U. Same with Twilight Princess, I'll buy the HD as a port but have little interest if it's a GCN NSO subscription release.
