Zelda: Wind Waker Re-Make is a Joke

All other video games not related to the main farming series - Pokemon, Stardew Valley, My Time at Portia, and other indie-developed games.

In the April issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly, there is an article regarding an exclusive re-make of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. It claims that upon reserving the upcoming GameCube Zelda game that this bonus disc will be given for free. The bonus disc will feature the realistic graphics found in the upcoming game and two dungeons that were cut from the original game for "being too big for all ages".

Included with the article was a picture that showed a shorter-looking realistic Link facing down a realistic-looking blue bird found in the first Wind Waker dungeon. Next to it was this same scene in the original Wind Waker.

Right below the article, a monthly sub-section "When Games Get Real" claimed that soldiers could endure the same bullet-fire found in video games. This helps point that both articles are April Fools pranks.

Electronic Gaming Monthly is a magazine that almost always plays some sort of April Fools prank. This is the same magazine that told us that Sonic and Tails could be unlocked in Super Smash Bros. Melee if a score of twenty or above was obtained in Cruel Melee. While a fake cheat used to be the typical prank, the magazine changed ways ever-so-slightly to catch readers off guard.

There is no realistic re-make of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. It is merely a cute joke.

Just wanted to clear that up before a « n3w farm3r » posted the "exciting" info. :wink:

sounds like they like to make people angry...I never heard there was going to be a remake, I guess the rumor didn't carry too far... about that sonci and tails thing, the reason that peole were wondering about them is because the words sonic and tails appeared in some sort of credits thing...that was just there because that is the name of some part of the company...btw, what is "cruel melee"?

1.) EGM most certainly began the Sonic and Tails rumor, or at least truly made it take root.
2.) Cruel Melee is a mode in Super Smash Bros. Melee that puts you up against wire frame people who are extremely powerful.

NP has done a few April Fools jokes, but all of them were flat out jokes. EGM's style is to make the jokes look as real as possible.

why does everyone hate the wind waker. i thought it was a great game. it had a good story line and it was one of the first games to have cel-shaded graphics. and why are so many people critizing it for its grapics, its the gameplay that counts not the graphics.

We're not criticizing Wind Waker, in fact, I loved it, the cel-shaded world fit great! We're talking about Electronic Gaming Monthly's April Fool's joke about a Wind Waker Remake.
