The Legend of Zelda - Wii U
Well about a year ago now with the announcement of the Wii U, this game-play was released, no one knows what game its from or if it's just to show off the New wii, NO matter what though we can all agree on its amazing graphics, and if i say so myself, pretty exciting new features. lets hope to see this one out soon!

10 years later and I still want a Zelda game like this...
Actually it would be possible as long as it is not open world.
@BrTrueV Not every 3D Zelda game need to be OoT formula of field-dungeon-item-field-rince and repeat.
@@ikagura There's reason OoT was a massive success.
Sometimes having a fully built world, ruins the wonder of the world. You only need access to the things relevant to the story and gameplay.
Best to leave the rest to imagination.
@@Phatnaru0002 You're trying to justify the limitations of the N64 but BotW was also full of secrets yet to be discovered by players.
Also not everything has been explored, Hyrule is only one Kingdom in the world of Zelda and considering that the Oracle games, Spirit Tracks and Triforce Heroes are canon then there isn't everything shown in BotW.
@@ikagura Hard disagree. BOTW was an amazing game, but it felt empty. I know very few people that have replayed BotW, let alone more than once. OoT meanwhile? Several times. Several hundred times for some people. Its not just about limitations. Its about world-building and imagination.
Ah, yes. The very reason I purchased a Wii U back in the day. Thanks for the cruel tease, Nintendo.
Crash's Underwear lol
Crash's Underwear same here and it never came out
Same here, never again Nintendo, never again.
@AlbertoGame breath of the wild was a joke in comparison to this.
@@kobeandgary how can you compare botw with a cinematic scene, sorry but you are stupid and maybe thats the reason you got scam
Watching this in 2016 really makes me a little sad Twilight Princess HD doesn't have these graphics :(
Ken Elder honestly
Yeah same...
thats because its mostly a port
Not to mention this mostly looks like they redid some of links model, slapped some bumpmapping onto it and I assume used ambient occlusion for the rest of his model. And they did it well, and they did quite a lot for the rest of the tech demo. But if they wanted to do this without completely remaking twilight princess it would be much more difficult. Likely from creating lighting from scratch, to creating ambient occlusion and bump maps for everything, as well as applying shaders to many, many objects. Not to mention they would have to do this on an engine from the GameCube era, which I doubt would be able to handle all that. They did what they feasibly could. Could they have done more? Duh. Should they have? I don’t see why. Would it have been financially feasible? Nope.
@@slyp5409 you seem to know a lot about this, do you know why wind waker HD looks much better than the original? did they completely remake the game for that?
Still one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen graphics-wise... hopefully one day we’ll get a zelda game with these graphics
Ocarina of time remake I NEED IT
@@rampaget8437
Technically, we already have TWO Ocarina remakes: Master Quest and 3D.
I said TECHNICALLY, everyone in the comments who will inevitably harass me over this topic!
At least it won’t be on switch and hopefully a much more powerful hardware to do these graphics justice
Botw is cool and its artstyle goes well on switch
But This tech demo is kind of a lie cause a full complete Zelda with these graphics would be too heavy to run on these consoles (Wii u/switch) and would need a lot of compromise to run on those
That looks like TP link
No best than these graphics
The graphics of breath of the wild not bad breath of the wild best with 2016 graphics
Imagine if twilight princess was given this graphical treatment... holy shit, that would make an already astounding game even better
Not really. Just more graphics
@@mr.awesome6011yeah that's kinda what a remake is
I'm still waiting for this
BitchChill 😂😂😂 me too
BitchChill I’m still waiting for Kirby from the GameCube to release to get in line lmao
neogeomaster Lmao what
Well...it’s been 6 years, Nintendo has probably forgotten about it by now
It became BotW
Then it never became a thing and we got Twilight Princess 'HD' which was barely an upgrade from the Wii.
Correction, this is what breath of the wild was supposed to be
@@istheriles botw and this had no connection what so ever and never was supposed to
@@TheFlumeUnplugged yes they did
@@theepicbroski5691 Nintendo stated in an interview they started working on the next Zelda in 2013. Long after this tech demo.
Man don't shit on TPHD, it's all the original design of the GameCube version but with the gyro aim of the Wii version, all in 1080p.
Looking at this so many years later, does anyone else kind of wish this had been fleshed it to a full game. Perhaps something to twilight princess like Majora’s mask was to oot; a bizarre yet compelling adventure made using the same engine. Hell, I’d have even liked to see it go back to termina, with the area entirely different after a hundred years since the plot of MM
Well when you think about it, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and Twilight Princess are a trilogy.
@@maxorigmvs5451 It would only really be considered a trilogy if it was the same link. A Link to the Past, The Oracle games and Link's Awakening can be considered a trilogy unless you count the two oracle games as two different games then it would be a quad
@@firionkaiser8291 Twilight Princess has the Hero of Time in it though. He turned into the Hero Shade.
@@maxorigmvs5451 Yes but the game has nothing to do with him. This isn't the Hero of Time's story, it's his descendant's story. All he does is pass on his skills, other than that TP has nothing to do with him besides the fact that Hyrule is the way it is because of the events in OoT just like how the adult timeline's Hyrule is flooded and how downfall timeline's hyrule slowly fell into decline overtime from several game but they all trace back to the final battle of OoT. It's like if I said (a Great Flood game) and Wind Waker were part of OoT as a trilogy because a statue of the Hero of Time and his hero name being mentioned appeared in the games.
Now from the timeline we can see there is a little indent line in between Majora's Mask and Twilight Princess which may indicate another game with OoT Link in it which may explain his missing eye and stuff. That I would definitely consider a trilogy.
I heard the Majoras mask engine was not the same as OOT. I think It was coders that said they were different.
2021 still waiting for a zelda that looks like this
X2
Honestly man i think we are going to have to wait 15 years for something like this 😓
I was so excited by this like 7 years ago. I'm still waiting on this game to release. If they would just make Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask with a beautiful dark and detailed style to convey some emotion.
Imagine they give Ocarina of Time a complete graphical overhaul that looked something like this on switch.
me too, i waiting this like i waiting Waluigi's game and/or into smash
Logan Carson
Don’t give up Nintendo will keep this tech demo for a future more powerful system that will do it justice
Botw artstyle makes more sense right now due to the limitations of the switch
I’m still happy with Botw for what it is even if I want this tech demo to be a real game someday
Lunar Orbit
Yeah realistic open world games looking crisp on switch
Hell yeah look at Witcher 3 on switch that’s some beautiful 2006 right there
If Zelda botw looked realistic it would be the same looking ass
Don’t even say they rushed the port of Witcher 3 it’s a miracle it can run even this bad on switch
Unless they make a linear traditional Zelda wich I doubt they will
Realistic visuals + open world don’t run easy on switch
+ Doom is easy to run since it’s a complete different type of game
Linear shooters and open worlds are different beast
This is TP HD done right
the best link has ever looked
In retrospective, we might be in a situation like that first Zelda tech demo on the gamecube. It got people hyped, but wind waker released and it was very different. Years later, we got twilight princess. Now we have this demo, which years later still looks amazing, and breath of the wild and it’s sequel looking very different. Both gorgeous games but heavily stylized. I’m sure Nintendo knows how good this style would look, and I hope the next one goes for it.
lol totk has exactly the same graphic style of botw
@@Light68478 the next one meaning the one after totk
@@lorenzotaz I hope so 🤞🏻
@@lorenzotazrespect for responding years later
@@lorenzotaz for the next one after tears of the kingdom they'll probably just do something completely different, graphics and artstyle wise. The next game likely won't look like tears or this tech demo.
I'd love it if the next iteration of Zelda after TOTK looks like this. A big, cinematic Zelda game running on better hardware would be amazing someday
At least I want 4K for the next game. There is no excuse anymore to not have Zelda in true HD.
Zelda shouldn't be cinematic, gameplay is what defined the series.
@@ikagura
"Zelda shouldn't be cinematic."
That's...an incredibly bold statement. Why shouldn't it be? It's not just gameplay that defines it, it's the lore and storytelling.
@@SteveCrafts2k What I meant is that Zelda was and has always been about gameplay first story second.
By "cinematic" I assume you want Zelda to become yet another cut-scene heavy AAA game like Sony and Microsoft made since the PS360 era.
Zelda is a perfect series that doesn't need to be like that to be good. Gameplay will always be superior to story. It's what defines a good game from a bad one, not the lore and storytelling.
@@ikagura
From what you just said, you seem to have a very narrow view on what "cinematic" means in gameplay.
The commenter wanted Zelda to have worlds and art direction that allow for enriching and story-driven narratives.
Not that they wanted Zelda to be a walking simulator.
I'd still love to see a zelda game with this art and shade style someday...
If only twilight HD looked like this
This ist the Zelda game we all have ever wanted but never has been released
I really hope a Zelda game in this style is next after Tears of the Kingdom. I want a modern more mature Twilight Princess.
If i had a penny for everytime Nintendo made an HD demo of a Zelda game just to make it cell-shaded afterwards i would have 2 pennies.
Which is not much but its weird it happened twice.
10+ years later and I still think about this
You cannot imagine how hyped I was for this “game” to release back then
This looks better than 95% of finished Wii U games.
Lol 10 Years later Nintendo has not made a game that looks this good graphically!!! I remember buying the Wii U because of this video lol
looks better than Tears of the Kingdom.
Never has a giant spider looked so beautiful...
What I wanted: This
What I got: Breath of the Wild
What I'm getting after: Breath of the Wild 2
Fml.
Looks like they're using the same map too judging by the trailer. I expect all the assets in BOTW1 will be copy pasted over, it'll be the same map reheated and touched up, maybe two more new enemy types so bokoblins, moblins, lizalfos and two other enemies that will be copy pasted and spread across the entire map and you'll fight thousands of them. More braindead puzzles, more half assed voice acting jarringly placed in selective cutscenes, 6 new bosses I imagine and that'll be it.
The switch couldnt even run something this good looking. They had to know they were never getting graphics like this on the wii u.
The way the light reflections looked on the floor I don't think Xbox series x could do this.
@@Chelaxim yeah.
Adding more reflection doesn't make a game automatically prettier...
@@ikagura No shit. It's an aspect of the graphics, not the entirety of them.
@@Robospy1And I'd take BotW's look over this.
Putting reflections everywhere is jarring.
say what you will about breath of the wild, this shit still looks beautiful and got everyone hyped.
To this day I’m upset we never saw this come to life
Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess had really good tones and artstyles, I hope we can eventually get a new game in that style
Agreed. And I want Link to have a green tunic again.
Skyward Sword looked more cartoony. We don't need to make things overly serious.
@@dragonwarriorz1 Link had his old tunic available in BotW... It's nice to change for once.
Agreed. Though, I'm loving Tears of the Kingdom.
Incomparibly better than Breath of the Withered.
@@dragonwarriorz1 you can in BoTW and ToTK 🤷🏼♂️💀
In 2023 i'm still waiting this graphics in Zelda...
Nintendo not making a sequel to Twilight Princess is their biggest L.
what Twilight Princess HD should've been
what Breath of the Wild and the new upcoming zelda should be.
I don't think we could get something remotely as good looking on the switch. The reflections alone would absolutely obliterate performance. We could definitely get a more realistic looking Zelda but it would definitely be scaled back from this. On a switch 2 with more powerful hardware, die shrinks, dlss, and maybe even rt we could perhaps get something close to this. But if you're playing on a switch do you really care about graphics? I don't think so. You got it because of its portability and first party catalogue. I got my PS5 for more visually demanding and serious games.
I've been watching this over and over since it came out. I would've really liked a zelda game with that style.
Someday, maybe they’ll return to it. I’m personally very excited for Breath of the Wild 2, I wonder what it will be called
zelda fans are shooting themselves in the foot, you praise everything nintendo makes, (triforce heroes anyone?) to the point that nintendo knows that it is ok to be mediocre, you'll buy it and praise it as if it were the eight wonder of the world; games are reaching a point, graphically that at some point, will age relatively well; the only thing that will hold a game back is the gameplay (nintendo has that down), an example would be Resident evil 4, the HD version makes it almost as good as a current gen game, but you can tell the gameplay is really old, if nintendo had done breath of the wild with the graphics shown in this video, it would still hold. This demo was made in 2012 and it still holds up today. Sure wind waker and breath of the wild have a unique style that will allow them to age very well, but they wont be at the level of RDR 2, Final Fantasy 7 remake and RE2 & RE3 remakes. breath of the wild is not that great, it didnt deserve all the praise or perfect scores, ive seen games with less flaws get scores of 9/10, but somehow BOTW gets a 10/10 despite the mediocre soundtrack, boring sidequest, lame story, empty world, lack of enemy variety, weapon system an awful and disappointing final boss 120 shrines that after the first 20 are all the same with a few changes 4 "dungeons" that are in my opinion some of the worst in the series. The only thing it has going for it is the difficulty and freedom. Zelda needed a change BOTW is heading in the right direction but its far from being the best.
@@vikutaa I actually agree and disagree. I think the graphics in this demo would hold up later because it's not hyper realistic. However, I also think BOTW will hold up because that art style is also very unique on its own
@@Jazzadrin they finally released the name its tears of the kingdom after 3 years
@@JazzadrinIt's Called Tears of The Kingdom and the Game is one of the best Zelda games now!
This looks really badass and dark!! I love it!! I would only buy a Wii U for this!!
never came out :'(
@AlbertoGame yea but botw is different
@AlbertoGame breath of the wild wasn't close to this bro.
@AlbertoGame This most certainly wasn't a beta for Breath of the Wild. This is simply a Wii U tech demo showing off what the Wii U can handle. Just like the Gamecube tech demo where is shows Link fight Ganondorf in a Ocarina of time HD style.
HeroicIdealism
Stfu it’s not just graphics
Botw is amazing if u hate it fine,cool understandable but leave everyone else who likes it alone we have the right for different opinions
A full Zelda game with these tech demo graphics would need a ton of compromise on Wii u I can guarantee if they kept this artstyle for Wii u Zelda it would have looked terrible compared to the tech demo everyone would have been disappointed
I want Nintendo to keep this tech demo for a powerful system that will do it justice
I hope the next zelda have this style. I love Breath of the Wild graphics but the magic of the Zelda series is how each game is unique.
Same graphics
@@Commander-peepers sad
If only we had gotten this rather than whatever Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom are. This a much better art style and the epic feel is really captured well. This is what I expected for years from the WIP Zelda game that Nintendo was going to release.
"Better art style" subjective but I think adding lights and reflections doesn't make a game look better (also it's indoor, not exterior).
The WIP Zelda game was BotW since the Wii U's release, not this tech demo.
Exactly
Well my friend today its been announced as of 9/28/23 its confirmed for 5/14/2024 today is a great day for all zelda fans. ❤
@@ragnarok9658 what?
@@ragnarok9658 wtf you
Mean?
This still looks amazing, TBQH
I remember thinking I can’t wait to get this Zelda game for my Wii U
I love BotW, but this would have been very cool to play or at least watch
@Jacob Eubank he know that fucking idiot
@Jacob Eubank A tech demo shows what the tech can achieve. And as you can see, the Wii U could achieve graphics like this in real-time. So Nintendo could very well make a game like this... and this was a decade ago. Just think what they could make now in 2022 if they wanted to. But nope, people like you will just eat whatever cel-shaded slop Nintendo puts out and never ask for anything greater. And so we will never get a beautiful Zelda like this.
@@dragonwarriorz1 Cel Shading was never an issue. Wind Waker looks great.
@Jacob Eubank Wtf does Trump have anything to do with this? I'm not even a Trumper btw. I used to be but that was years ago.
@@ikagura I disagree with the modern consensus that WW looks good. It looks horrible and I hate the toon art style. It is very ugly and disproportionate all around. Also, did you delete your other comment here or am I mistaken?
It's so f*cked up a 10 year old video looks WAAYYYY better than today's finished product.
Nintendo is stuck in the past and needs to evolve.
It's prerendered
"Nintendo needs to evolve" they evolved, BotW is a real evolution to the franchise.
@@Chelaximmeh we see modern games on the current PlayStation /Xbox/ PC looking way better than this visually.
Nintendo makes lackluster titles for a complete price 😂😂
@@Chelaxim Nope. It's not. But on this demo all player could do was just move camera via analog pad. There was zero gameplay, hence all processor power was utilized on graphics only.
never seen this before. I kinda miss the "realistic" look of zelda games. Cell shading is fine, but its been like 13 years since we've had a non stylized zelda game.
I remember being hyped about this
Aaaand the award for the biggest tease that never comes, for the second time even, goes tooooo …..
Why does this look better than anything Nintendo has made for the Wii U and Switch.
Tech Demo
@@1gta4gta still it supposed to demonstrate what the Wii U could do.
@@mitchjames9350 It shows what in theory it should be capable of, but this ran in-engine, a real game would never look like this.
Salio totk y sigo esperando este estilo artistico NINTENDO COMO NOS MENTISTE! 😢
We will Never see a Zelda like this
Se parece al twilight princess
in 5 years we will
Where can I find these versions of the songs?
Nintendo, heat our cries and bring us a Zelda like this one... with these graphics and hardware 🙏👍
I doubt this was ever even an actual demo. Probably prerendered video footage.
Yeah the lighting is TOO good. That's some PS5 looking lighting effects.
It was! All of it was rendered in real time on real hardware.
While the Wii U wasn’t a powerful system, rivaling only the 360 in power, its graphics chip was pretty damn good! Not to mention that there are a LOT of ways to make lighting without compromising system power. Pikmin 3 and a few other titles showcase the Graphics chip incredibly well!
Man’s this will Perfect Zelda game that never existed
Desperate for a game in this style! Hell even a Twilight Princess 2!
Sadly, it’s been 10 years already. And still waiting for this game. And it’s confirmed that there is no game from this demo 😢😭
Breath of the wild is RIGHT THERE!
Still looks amazing! As much as I love BOTW I would give a limb for a full open world Zelda made to look like this.
This made me cry inside.
i still want an old fashioned puzzle dungeon zelda game with this graphical art style.
2023 and still no Zelda game that looks like this
Hope the next Nintendo console can pull off something like this.
The current one can... well sort of if you want open world with long render distance then maybe not in any practical sense; however, if they were to make something like the classical 3d titles like oot, mm, ww, tp and so forth the switch can do better than this! keep in mind this was a wii U demo the switch is more powerful and the next system is probable not too far out. Given this was a highly refined demo for a small room with simply geometry, but with the improvement the switch has at the moment I could see something like this if they would allow it.
@@Zucr_I bet if the Wii U had the same power as a PS4 or Xbox one in 2013, I bet it was also possible to create a new Zelda game with graphics like this in the demo.
@@Chris30C The demo exists on the Wii U so it technically was possible even without that extra power. Probable not practical though. unless all the rooms were as empty and/or small. Yeah if it had that extra juice it might have been possible especially with the classic formula where the world wasn't a single massive open world filled with well... not much, but still that render distance takes its toll. I sure hope they toss the classic fans a bone and give us at least a side game or something. Ideally with the more tp or oot/mm styled graphics. Love a good celshaded game; however, also like my darker tones too.
Imagine a remake of Ocarina of Time or Majora's Mask with these graphics. Fingers-crossed the Switch successor can pull this off.
Me ten years ago was mindblown by this, the fanmade Majoras Mask HD and the fanmade Wind Waker sequel concept trailer. Wish Zelda would come back to this kind of style.
The fact that Guardian Stalkers were Gohma-like mechanical Shiekah weapons in concept art is pretty cool but creepy at the same time.
The next Zelda should use an art style similar to this.
Or why not having an art style that looks more stylised? Like the first two Zelda games but in 3D.
Well my friend today its been announced as of 9/28/23 its confirmed for 5/14/2024 today is a great day for all zelda fans. ❤
We need a Twilight Princess sequel
I am still more impressed by this than botw
I think the closest we got to a Zelda game for the Wii U that looked like this was Twilight Princess HD.
Yeah but twilight princess had had a different style
We were robbed 😭
Still waiting for that Zelda
This is the zelda im waiting for
Can't wait for the next zelda tech demo :)
the one question I know will be asked is "Where is this placed on the timeline?"
looks like after twilight princess
This is "Breath of the Wild" before they named it and gave it those junky stencil shaded graphics.
J t lol no
@@Lokigard u may want to research :)
@@Lokigard no its not
Looks like Dark Souls in Zelda Universe with RTX on😁
People used to say ''in 10 years people will think this looks like shit''
I think this is the earliest footage of BotW, the spider thing looks like a guardian
I still want this Zelda!
Nice lighting
Why must you turn my living room into a house of lies?
Recuerdo cuando vi esto por primera vez me emocioné bastante pensando que sería Twilight Princess 2. Y al final nada, resultó que no era ningún juego por desgracia. Aún a día de hoy me gustaría ver un Zelda con este estilo gráfico (mejorados obviamente).
BOTW nunca terminó de gustarme del todo, nunca me gustó su estilo visual y diseños. Me gustan más tipo lo que se ve en esta Demo técnica: la evolución de lo hecho en Twilight Princess
That's how I want Zelda to look like.
were i can find the music of this video?
THE FAIRY IS BACK!
And this is being run by the wiiu. Why are people so insistent on high-quality graphics being the norm when this looks as wonderful as it is?
No, it's a tech demo, everything is scripted there, not real time calculated sorry.
@@ikagura well yeah, I'm saying that wiiu hardware running this is cool.
@@Brute_Studios And if it was that but in the open field it'd lag a lot.
Found his grandma and tried to escape using the dragon boat
Don't know why but everyone in the zelda bubble is getting this vid now. Back then, I was so hyped
Solo says.... he never disappoints.
i wish they let people choose which hand link used, I mean they did it for wii sports
Ah....the legend of Zelda we never got
Have faith
Nintendo will keep this artstyle for a more powerful system
They chose Botw artstyle not cause they think it’s better otherwise this tech demo wouldn’t exist at all
but because it makes sense to cell shade on a weak system
Maybe someday
also somebody somewhere is probably modding botw to look more like this
@@painuchiha2694 This tech demo ran on Wii U's native hardware in real time. Nintendo could very well make a game that looked like this.
@@dragonwarriorz1
Yes they could as long as it’s not open world
@@dragonwarriorz1
Open world they can’t otherwise it’s gonna be 540p 20fps on switch
This tech demo looked amazing cause it’s only loading a single tiny room.
It’s not constructed to be a game but more so an hypothetical cinematic of what wii u can potentially do in small dungeon room
BotW and TotK don't come close to scratching the itch that this trailer gives me.
Not even in the slightest
Ive been waiting so long.....
Ive always assumed that the games were a retelling of the same story, but the more realistic the game, the more true to life the story was.
whats the music for this
Still waiting for this!!!!
Does anyone what the music in the background is called?
holy shit these ground reflections look like raytracing
Bruh you dont even understand raytracing to say something like that
@@SuperCer054Real and you do? dynamic reflections like that are pretty impressive
I think this was meant to be the sequel to Twilight Princess that got scrapped. The style of the dungeon, the sword he’s using, even the spider are all things from that game. From what we can see here, it was a highly ambitious project, one many of us had pinned their hopes on, but the technology wasn’t up to snuff yet. Even now with the WiiU’s successor, the Nintendo Switch, I still don’t think they could pull this off yet. The graphics on display here would put the PlayStation 4 to shame, and maybe even the 5. If they still have this project on file, they could try it with the next Nintendo console, they’re long overdue for another one and need something to compete with the next gen consoles and steam deck.
Nintendo has been preparing this game for decades for future consoles.
Still mad that this never happened.
I know this was just a demo but I think this was a part of the cancelled Twilight Princess Sequel.
Eu penso que logo após a sequência de botw, um Zelda nessa pegada será lançado
It’s 2023. Tears of the Kingdom has just been released. And we still don’t have a Zelda game with graphics like this.
Not even close
I'm just noticing how similar the layout of the Temple of Time in BotW looks to this.
I still see many Zelda fans trash on the visual style of Twilight Princess for being too dark/gritty. But this tech demo shows soooo much potential in the style with modern, more powerful hardware. I hope Nintendo gives it another chance someday.
TP was the best looking Zelda in the franchise and I will stand by that. Zelda fans have horrible taste.
Zelda doesn't need to be dark and gritty to look good.
@@dragonwarriorz1 I beg to differ, Wind Waker visually looks still good even to this day. "Zelda fans have horrible taste" no, it's just you having a different opinion from others.
