The only remake I would say is worse is Majora's Mask 3D. It made good changes, but that was also on top of many bad changes that made the game less fun to play.
@@michaelf9664 Deku and Zora got nerfed mobility, the bosses were made worse, the Bomber's Notebook constantly interrupts the game and was made mandatory, ice arrows can only freeze sparkling parts of water and enemies, etc.
@@Cye_Pie The bosses being made worse certainly isn't minor and worse Zora swimming certainly aren't minor. The point of a remake is to preserve the original for a new generation and even make changes to improve the experience, not actively make it worse than the original.
huh with MM the 3ds Version is worse it made the zora swimming worse and the momentum System with the deku but if your 3ds is hacked theres an patch that fixes all the problems
Twilight Princess is the only Zelda game when the best version for me is the original (on the Gamecube). The Wii U remaster ruined the look of the Twilight because they changed the bloom effect, so now there are very washed out colors and removed the dreamy or scary tone. Illia's face looks awful on the HD remaster because of lighting/texture changes and that breaks my immersion. The Wii U remaster does have better gameplay by the Wii U gamepad integration but the Amiibo paywall is just wrong. The definitive way to play Twilight Princess is definetly the original (Gamecube) on Dolphin emulator.
I think majoras mask is better originally, the hookshot is better and you do have 2 more slots on 3ds, but i think the original experience has a vibe that doesn't match with the remake. something about the low poly and blockiness and the 20 fps makes the world feel more real, not to mention the awful change with the boss fights with the return of the generic giant eyeball on a lot of bosses and the weird new set of motions that odolwa does, it just doesn't make the bosses feel as real and makes them just another generic zelda boss that you're used to seeing, removing the charm of the n64 version. Also, the zora transformation makes the entire great bay sequence (which btw is one of the longest areas you have to go through in the game) so much slower and the desire for magic more dire because if you want to go fast with zora link, you have to now use magic in the 3ds version, which sucks, and makes traversing with zora link just tedious rather than fun. although the 3ds version kinda makes up for this with their biggest improvement being the song of double time. but overall, if you want the ultimate majoras mask experience the original is much better in my opinion, and i dont think 3 seconds of going in the menu and unslotting an item makes the remake better. plus, its usually widely believed that the original is better i think
I think all the remakes are the clear better versions of the games with the exception of Majora’s Mask. I feel like both versions have their perks and it’s so hard for me to pick a clear winner. It’s my favorite Zelda game and I first experienced it on the 3ds, but I agree that the remake kind of messed up in some areas and now that I’ve played both versions I can’t decide. Also I understand preferring the original style of Link’s Awakening and even though I love the new style and I very much prefer the remake, I can understand why some people would prefer the original.
I’m honestly gonna say that Wind Waker HD is not only the definitive version of the game, but also a true remastered port from the ground up since not did it use higher quality textures and remastered the soundtrack, they also remastered the audio, and by that I mean the original sound effects and voice clips in uncompressed audio! I find it very bizarre, and I mean in a good way that they remastered the original audio files since in the original GameCube version the audio was very low quality! :o Very disappointed and felt robbed that they didn’t do the same thing with Twilight Princess HD, the audio files qualities literally don’t sound any different from the previous versions. Really didn’t give me a feeling of a true remaster. :(
I’ll say my opinions for no reason Link’s awakening DX > other versions Ocarina of time 3d > Ocarina of time Majora’s Mask 3d > Majora’s mask Wind waker > Wind waker HD Twilight princess HD > other versions Skyward sword HD > Skyward Sword Botw switch > Botw wii u
I'm mixed on Majora's Mask 3D but otherwise I definitely agree with you. Wind Waker got botched, Link's Awakening was best on GBC, and the other remakes were great.
@@WKP1996 The lighting got botched hard in the Wii U port IMO. The OG game had a very flat cel-shaded look while the remake has more realistic lighting that clashes with every other element of the art style.
I strongly disagree with Majora's Mask. I think the 3D version is far worse than the original. There's a video on RU-vid by Nerrel that covers the bad changes: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-653wuaP0wzs.html
They're nowhere near bad the oot3D brought upgraded graphics even though it should've been on Wii and Majora's Mask 3D should've been on the Wii U the gyro in oot was ok mm3D was really convenient because I didn't have to wait as long in Wind Waker HD I loved the improved sailcloth and I was a regular miiverse user r.i.p to miiverse by the way and tp just got the annoyance out of the way witch was every time you go and quit your game then in the original each item you'd already picked up acts like it was never picked up they fixed that in TPHD
I tired to get it to work, but I don’t think it works on links awakening DX, do you know if that’s the issue or something else? (I used the grayscale version on other games and it worked on them) Maybe I should just use my gameboy player next time
I'd sat the worst changes to Majoras Mask is the ice arrows. Its much more hand holdy in the remake since it shines where the ice needs to be out and doesn't allow anywhere to get frozen unlike the original. Also, I never even finished MM3D because of the final dungeon boss got changed in such a horrible way. It literally spent a whole in game night trying to hit it and it would not work. The moon crashed and I had to do the whole dungeon again. Never touched it after that. I looked it up and many people had issues with the boss on the remake. Glad it wasn't just me but... they ruined the remake of my favorite game in the series. It really is sad
My idea for a new title…. Legend of Zelda: The Beacon of Hope The game should have a dark western cowboy theme like twilight princess but have the vast open layout like breath of the wild and Tears of the Kingdom. The land will be scattered with different ranches, animals, characters, etc… Basically, instead of scattered shrines you will have huge ranches and farms scattered throughout the land that will be apart of the main story but also used for side quests and item fetching for certain goods that you will need throughout the game. Dungeons will take place in certain areas like forests, mountains, swamps, lakes, caves, etc… Link is considered an average worker until the story and game progresses and by the end of the game he becomes a real cowboy that saves the land from outside intruders. I know this might sound kinda stupid but these were just some thoughts I had. Let me know what y’all think??? ⚔️ 🤠
You immediately lost me by saying that not is the DX version of LA is better than the Switch version but it's the best remake. I get appreciating nostalgia, but while I get you enjoy the 8-bit music more, you honestly just can NOT simply ignore the beautiful visuals and more importantly, the MAJOR QUALITY of LIFE IMPROVEMENTS that the Switch version has! Saying that the DX version is better than the Switch version and every other remake out there is like saying that using an ax to cut wood is better than using a convenient, easy to use handsaw. It's a losing argument that makes NO sense because LA Switch, OoT 3D, and WW HD at least are definitely better than LA DX as re-releases. TBH, I clicked this video expecting MM 3D to be the lowest because there's a lot of people arguing that MM 3D is bad for nerfing Deku Link and Zora Link and how the bosses were changed. While I would've argued against that because MM 3D did have some QoL improvements to make up for that, I would rather have that argument for the umpteenth time than this. This is NOT okay! You're literally saying that an 8-bit remake with rough rigid gameplay is better than remakes with actual QoL improvements. You're saying that color, a new useless camera function, and an optional bonus dungeon is better than having the Sword and Shield assigned and fixed to the B and R buttons by default while Y and X are used for the items. Or being able to use Iron and Hover boots as items with ease! I'm sorry but while I get that this was more of a favorites list, I thought this video was supposed to be about whether or not the remakes actually improved upon the original and which remake had the most or best improvements compared to original. The ranking should've be based on which remake/remaster/port had the most and/or best QoL improvements like advertised by the thumbnail and title. Instead, it's just you being a total biased nostalgia freak. I love the old games, including old remakes/remasters/ports/re-releases whatever. However, you have to understand that the whole reason why a game gets remade, remastered, redux/enhanced ported/re-released, or whatever is improve upon the game right? That's literally the whole point of remakes, remasters, redux/deluxe versions, or whatever. They're supposed to be better than what came before. And most of these are! Do you have any idea how stressful the Triforce shard quest was for everyone who played the original WW? It was a nightmare! You may be a big fan of LA DX, but there is NO WAY that that redux/deluxe version is a better re-release than Wind Waker HD (a re-release that fixed a HUGE MAJOR ISSUE that the original version had). Sure, it may be better as a game, but this is a "which did it better" argument that you kinda started here, not "which remaster is the best game?" argument. Which even with that argument, you'd still be factually wrong given that LA on Switch and pretty much almost ALL other special re-releases are clearly FAR superior in gameplay experience. LA may be the best nostalgically, but NOT in gameplay. You can probably argue that LA DX is better than ALttP on GBA because the QoL of both re-releases are about the same. Heck, the GBA version of ALttP did nerf the screen resolution due to the necessary cropping to make the screen visuals work and fit on a small screen, but the QoL improvements that the re-release has make up for that. Anyways, with all that out of the way, here's my ranking and reasons: 1) Link's Awakening Switch - This is by far the most fun remake I've played. Mini games are frustrating as usual, but other than, everything is just [chef's kiss] perfect! The visuals, the overall performance, gameplay, and just how the every location on the whole overworld map connects together just so seamlessly! No more screen scrolling transitions! A Link Between Worlds is the best 2D Zelda ever, but this is the true definitive way to play 2D Zelda! Absolute PERFECTION! 2) Wind Waker HD - Being able to start Triforce Shard quest earlier on and with a faster sail was godsend! Also, the new selfie and Tingle bottle functions were a lot of fun! 3) Ocarina of Time 3D - No more CONSTANT Subscreen uses in the dreaded Water Temple! Also, the visuals are just beautiful! Everything actually feels more real and full of life compared to the original. A neat visual remaster for taking OoT out on the go! 4) Majora's Mask 3D - Despite the Deku Link and Zora Link nerfs and the unnecessary Gyorg buff, the Song of Double Time change made doing side quests and upgrades less painful to wait through. Also, I don't care what people say about the Twinmold fight change, I enjoyed that! I love the original Twinmold fight too, but the fight in the 3DS version made me feel like there was actually a reason to play MM 3D when already have played the original. Maybe MM 3D probably should've been a sequel of sorts instead? Still a neat remaster for taking MM out on the go though. 5) Twilight Princess HD - Well, even though the Ghost Lantern was useless, the Cave of Shadows and finding the stamps was pretty fun! 6) Skyward Sword HD - Analog Controls! 7) A Link to the Past Advance - Despite the screen resolution nerf and bonus dungeon being locked behind completing Four Swords, the re-release has better Gameplay, grammar corrections, OoT tie-ins, and just looks kinda more visually appealing in a way. A neat re-release for making ALttP available to play on the go! 8) Four Swords Anniversary Edition - Yeah, it had one of the biggest improvements of all of these, but it was only available for a limited time. 9) Link's Awakening DX - It's literally just the original Link's Awakening again, but with color, a camera shop, and a new dungeon. Wow! It's honestly just the definitive way of playing the original! It's literally the Castlevania Legacy of Darkness of Zelda! It only just made the original completely obsolete. Especially now that a true remake was made and released! Anyone who'd rather play the original colorless version would definitely need their head examined! LA DX is more of a replacement for the original and nothing more!
@@tumultuousv I literally explained in my comment how I understood that! However, the video title and thumbnail implied that the video was about which remake/remaster or whatever has the most of best improvements. And this guy is intentionally decided to be factually wrong just to be bias. I would've respected his opinion more if he hadn't put his own biased opinion before facts. There's no way in hell that a re-release (LA DX) that is literally just the original with color, a useless camera house, and an optional dungeon is better than an actual remake (LA Switch) of the same game (LA), but with very much improved gameplay, a seamlessly connected overworld, a house where you get to build your own dungeon instead of some useless camera house, and the same optional dungeon from the DX version, which was really just the definitive way of playing the original game. LA DX is a good game, but a horrible remake, at least, compared to later remakes/remasters and the newer remake of LA. That said, the Switch version is the better version because it has far better gameplay and features and it's more for those who just want to play and enjoy LA than the previous. It is the new definitive way to play LA. LA DX is mostly only for nostalgia nerds. I'm a nostalgia nerd myself, but I don't obsess over nostalgia as much as much other nostalgia nerds do. I at least actually appreciate the QoL improvements that newer remakes/remasters of games have to offer. Most other nostalgia nerds like this guy don't. They'd rather live in the past then appreciate the new stuff of the present. The fact that he's honestly questioning if a great remake like OoT 3D is a bad remake in his thumbnail pretty much already says it all! This guy clearly just likes living in the past. He is basically pretty much a gaming boomer, just like a lot of nostalgia nerds today. Now, I mean, don't get me wrong, if he was saying that a retro remaster of LA like a sort of pixel remaster (like what the first six Final Fantasy games got) is better than LA Switch, that'd be a different story, because at least a pixel remaster would've still had some actual quality of life improvements versus LA DX. Even a pixel remaster would've had better gameplay at the end of the day. But this guy is saying a literal replacement for the original LA is better than the Switch remake. Not okay!
