Everyone's cry to update music so that it's orchestral is so frustrating to me. It seems like that's all anyone ever wants. Whenever there's talk of a remake it's, "Ooooh, I hope it's orchestral!" I LOVE orchestral music, but it has a specific tone to it; it has its own character. You can't just use it for everything! It's just frustrating because people don't really seem to think about the mood of the game or anything like that. They just want the music orchestral because that's what they like. Changing the music would put a totally different mood on the game. If the music didn't sound like MIDI, then the music would not help me to go back in time, to when I first played this game, in my head. If it were updated, I would feel like I were playing a different game, with a different mood. Nintendo's not going to ship this with bad-sounding music... They will do what they must to make sure that every part of the experience comes to life, as it was intended with its original release. This is NOT a new game. It's just the Wind Waker in HD, and that's what I want. I don't want extra dungeons or stuff changed. That wasn't part of the game. The Wind Waker is a work of art, and it shouldn't be tampered with, adding extra dungeons and new music in just because you can. The graphics being updated to HD make sense, so the game looks good on today's TV screens. Obviously if it was still in SD it would look pretty weird on an HD TV. This was a great game, and a defining one of my childhood, and I am really looking forward to experiencing it again on my modern console!
