Topic: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD - OT

@Grumblevolcano:
Oh ok, thanks! I figured I just hasn't progressed far enough. But then I realized the game never explained how to do the save data thing so maybe I just hadn't figured it out

Yes, I thought it would be odd for them to have done that, but I also thought it would be cool if they did so I thought I'd ask. At least I would have liked it, even if I'm in the minority there.

Is there a link to the forums on the site anymore? I've been having to google search "NintendoLife Forums just to find it since the new design went live

Here's how the difficulty works:

Standard game - non-mirrored + 1x damage
Hero Mode - mirrored + 2x damage
Ganondorf amiibo - non-mirrored + 2x damage (until you die, then it's 1x until you scan the amiibo again)
Hero Mode + Ganondorf amiibo - mirrored + 4x damage (until you die, then it's 2x until you scan the amiibo again)

@JaxonH: Just save this as a favourite: https://www.nintendolife.com/forums/all

Considering that doing puzzles in a Zelda game wasn't at all tedious in the original version, I'd imagine not.

It better be, because I'll certainly be comparing the two as I play.

@JaxonH from the drop down menu of the forums, choose All Topics to have them all show up.

I don't know if it is because of off TV play, but I've been noticing some frame rate drops recently like when in Faron woods and the monkey was clearing the fog or learning a hidden skill. I don't recall this happening in the Wii version. I am currently playing on the game pad though so that may be causing it.

@yokokazuo:

The problem is, I can't even get TO the forums to hit any drop down box

@JaxonH isn't there a forums tab at the top of the page?

@yokokazuo:
Not that I can find. And that's the problem.

@JaxonH weird, it should be to the right of the store.

I'm using the desktop site on my phone and this is what it looks like for me.

@yokokazuo:
Aha!

The iOS formatting puts Store right at the edge, so you can't see it. I flipped my iPad sideways and there it was

@JaxonH ah, I see. You should also be able to slide the top bar left and right on the mobile site to get to the forums.

@yokokazuo:
You're right! Awesome. Thanks for explaining all that. Was starting to piss me off not finding the forums lol

@JaxonH haha, no problem!

Kinda disappointed that no music tracks for the HD remaster were remade. I would have actually thought they would have remaster the opening theme something like this:

Waaaas, iiiiiit, thoooooough???

I'd love to seen Twilight Princess reorchestrated (or just plain orchestrated) in a way that retains the original tone of the compositions. But I think we've known for a while now that we'll have to wait a good deal longer for a proper remaster.

Since remapping instrument samples for a remaster isn't an expensive process, I guess it's any of these reasons:
Tantalus didn't have the required music/technical knowledge in-house.
Time-wise, Nintendo's own sound department couldn't allocate resources for it.
Nintendo wants to make a bigger impact with the music in Zelda U.
Someone at Nintendo thought the music was ok.

@jariw: I would say it's a mixture of several of those reasons, mainly "someone at Nintendo thought the music was ok".

I have yet to actually play the game yet despite having the Amiibo edition since Friday. There's just way too many other games I need to finish and not necessarily from Nintendo's own platforms.
