Wind Waker 3ds possible?

Wind Waker is not only my favorite Zelda game, but my favorite game of all time, so my question is, do you guys think it's possible for the 3ds to run wind waker? I mean yeah, it's a massive game, and yeah, Phantom Hourglass is pretty much wind waker but portable... kinda. And even if it were possible, nintendo wouldn't, right?

I really doubt it.

I'm not sure if the console itself can handle the massive ocean exploration and whatnot. I guess it could, but I imagine a lot of loading points (like Okamiden compared to Okami etc).

Perhaps the next handheld console after the 3DS might be able to handle games like WW and TP.

Possible? Maybe, the 3DS has already poved to be pretty powerful, and has games that look just as good, if not even better than Wii games.

Still, it'd probably need to have some graphical "adjustments", we probably wouldn't even notice with the lower screen resolution, but yeah.

Still, I don't think Nintendo will do it, if there's another remake/port coming to the 3DS, it'll be MM, and I don't think they'll make another one, not until the next generation, at least.

Possible but unlikely, i think they will make mm before ww.

Possible? Yes. Desirable? Nope. The graphics of the 3DS are generally stated to be between those of the GCN and the Wii. Unlike the N64 games, they can't make huge graphical updates to even justify remaking the game. My advice to Nintendo (not that they'd hear it): remake MM for the 3DS and save TWW for the Wii U.

It's not that the 3DS can't handle it, it's that a remake of Wind Waker would be a waste of time, just like Ocarina of Time 3D. It's resources better allocated to an original title.

I think it was stated countless times that not nintendo but grezzo did OoT 3D, Nintendo did not waste any capacities for that game, and money is hardly the problem here. Furthermore i think OoT 3D was a great success and definitely not a waste of time.

I couldn't agree more. Also, nice username and profile pic. Gurren Lagann is my favorite anime of all time ^_^

That was still a third party that could have worked on an original title.

I don't know about that; Grezzo's only put out three games so far, and two of them were Zelda remakes. They haven't proved that they have the creative talent to actually make original games, so why not let them do what they're good at?

While this is true in general, I'd prefer to have a Nintendo made Zelda game rather than a 3rd party creation when it comes to new games.

I would have agreed with you to have Wind Waker put into the 3DS last year. But honestly, I think Nintendo and company can likely get in trouble with gamers for putting a bit too many remakes and ports onto the system that yet another port would be overkill, especially since we will certainly see a Pokemon Ruby and Saphire remakes coming and then there is a possibility that we will be seeing Super Mario Sunshine and Majora's Mask remade too. I'm not saying this to put the game down or saying that its inferior to all these games. Heck I'm one of the biggest Wind Waker fans out there, I even prefer it over the N64 Zelda's and thats why I rather it wouldn't be remade for the 3DS. Because knowing the Zelda fanbase. If Wind Waker were to be remade for the 3DS (wether its after or before Majora's Mask) they will THEN start to whine about Nintendo wasting resources and time on remaking the game and are only thinking about milking the classics. They will even ignore the Grezzo arguement that is usually used in Majora's Mask's defence.

Wind Waker already went through this bull**** of ♥♥♥♥♥ing and moaning from the fanbase when it was developed for the first time. I don't want it to happen again for the second time. I would say wait for the next generation handheld console, not only would Wind Waker benefit over the N64 remakes in getting better quality graphics. It will also likely have to deal with less other remakes besides the likely Pokemon Diamond & Pearl remakes and maybe Super Mario Galaxy and one or two other companies ports so there will hopefully be less whining about the handheld console being oversaturated with remakes. So patience.

^Yeah, that's true too. Nintendo already has a bad rep for being the King of Rehash, and they don't really need more remakes as proof of that.

Hell, I would buy all of these and Wind Waker too. Nintendo hasn't been making many new games that are any good, IMO, so they might as well remake something I like.

Phantom Hourglass is not a Wind waker portable. It has a great sea, and the sailing aspects of WW, and yes, the toon style, but it's a seperate game, with a seperate story. It just has similar features to it.

I would love if this happened (in fact I make all of my FanFics like that) but they already did ST and PH so I think they burned out that animation.

Maybe remade with no cel-shaded graphics?

I actually think that WW should go to the Wii-U.

Seriously, this game has so much room to put new stuff in. The world is big enough - and the islands bare enough - for them to add a ♥♥♥♥load of new content that wouldn't be possible in a game like OoT or MM (where the worlds AREN'T big enough). At least half of the islands are pretty empty, so I think adding a bunch of side content while keeping the main quest still mostly intact would make for a great remake.

Mainly because the world is screaming for more to do. I mean, who wouldn't love some sidequests/background information added onto Greatfish Isle (or any other isle for that matter)?

I think that this game wouldn't do too well on the 3DS, though, because I don't think it would be able to handle many revisions to the game. The graphics would be about the same and the cartridge may not hold the amount of data needed to add stuff onto WW.

I'd honestly prefer a MM remake at this point. WW should be for the Wii-U or the next handheld system.

Oracle of Ages/Seasons? Minish Cap?

Definitely possible, they're not going to port the game if made- they're going to remake the game specifically for the 3DS's GPU, it'll probably look even better than the original.

Of course, what truly matters is if fans desire such a thing.
