TWW HD demo info

BUT...we can't show any proof or people will get angry and want to take off the video. It's an infinite loop. instead of arguing if it works or not, we should just trust the people who test it. It would make sense for the game to crash if you superswim somewhere else. But for now we should just wait till october...

OK, think about being a person in Cosmo's stream and you get to test this stuff and want to report your findings. Where would you go? Shouting it in the chat wouldn't help much, but then you remember this ZSR site so you go there. It would still be possible for a troll to do that, but seeing at least 3 people claim the same thing and one the other, it either means that the 1st person failed and the others did it right, or the 3 people are lying. Im sure the first possibility is more correct.

You're right, creating multiple accounts anywhere on the internet is impossible. I see the error of my ways.

Here's a question:





why do you guys care

I think he means, it's much more unlikely that somebody would go that far out of their way just to screw with people here, especially because most trolls would try to be annoying in a livestream chat where there are a lot of people rather than a forum that is already obscure to most speedrun viewers. Not saying it's not possible, just that it's unlikely, and it makes more sense to believe them IMO.

But I don't really care because I don't really care that much about TWW HD anyway LOL
I guess I'm just a little curious so I'm just lurking here.

I tried to be as subtle as possible. I was the first in line on Wednesday


storage and super swim works, I tried it on Saturday. The Nintendo Rep was barely even at the stand. The Best Buy manager asked if I was Cosmo, too. I look nothing like Cosmo though


EDIT: oh, someone already posted my link

If the best buy manager knows about Cosmo then.....

uhhh the manager of Best Buy doesn't work for Nintendo, I wish you guys would use your heads. He actually said he enjoys his runs.

The crash that has been mentioned (if true) would come from superswimming out of the quadrant, as it would attempt to load other islands that may or may not be on the disc. And what happens if you try to load something that doesn't exist?

It seems that from this image that the first wallet holds more than 200 rupees this time(or the rupee color doesn't change when you upgrade it)

Zelda Universe seems to think that the Triforce Charts can be skipped, but I don't know

Inb4 WW HD runs leave Tingle in jail to die :'(

it seems like charts have been completely replaced by shards. so in a speedrun this would be 20-30 minutes faster.

I hope to god that they put in cutscene skips.

The box arts for the game.

US version
E and J version

The E and J version is so pro :p

Thats just the Nintendo Direct footage :|

New screenshots. Less bloom, smaller HUD. Nice improvements IMO.

EDIT (unconfirmed): Somebody told me that they saw a comparison video between the English and Japanese versions of TWWHD and they said English text is faster. English text scrolls by words while Japanese scrolls by characters I'm assuming. I can't find a video, so take what I say with a grain of salt. But interesting.

Gamescom 2013 update:

"According to a rep at my demo, the Swift Sail can be acquired at the auction house after completion of the first dungeon..."

The Swift Sail can sail at any direction at MAX speed regardless of the wind direction. So pure glitchless runs are faster on TWW HD for sure.

"There’s also an enhanced first-person camera which now allows for full movement in that perspective." So you can walk around and aim in first person mode.

Five Triforce pieces can now be grabbed directly, and only the remaining three will require translated charts. - Notable drop for rupees required.

Hero mode exists as soon as you start of the game by turning it on or off on the file select screen. - Based on Skyward Sword and not OoT Master Quest.
Also no hearts drops which also means R.I.P Helmoroc King skip via Zombie Hover on Hero Mode.

"and those pictures can live on Miiverse. But Link can also take funny self-photographs" - Where is the Kreygasm face that you can take if you go OoB?

"it’s no longer possible to accidentally skip Tingle’s island, as the developers have inserted an introduction to the quirky character into the main quest."

Woah, the wind direction changes when you use the fast sail. That's pretty legit. Wind's Requiem skip incoming?

Still need it for leafing and for getting Triforce Shards/Charts. Also the fast sail is acquired from the auction, which is likely very slow.

How would you make the chests that hold triforce shards/chests appear?

Ignore me, I've been away from the game for too long.

A new trailer for the North-American and Europe versions. It seems the HUD is optional and the first wallet holds more than the 200 rupees that we have now. Also, firing bombs from the boat has been changed (I think you have to press the cannon button, then A to fire).

The atmosphere and the lighting in FF looks beautiful btw

Hahaha nope.

Why wouldn't glitchless runs be faster than before? Swift Sail doubles your speed. Definitely would make glitchless runs a lot faster.

I thought it's saying faster than glitched runs, I misread. :-X

Some more gameplay.

Sooo much lag on Ghoma and she can't troll you with the new grapple hook xD.
You can change the position on the rope without stopping.

Only cost 240 rupees for the Swift Sail at that one auction... seems like it'll be pretty cheap to nab.

30 minutes of gameplay!
