Nintendo Spotting: If Braid met Zelda

Monday, January 5th, 2009 at 11:29am by Will

Since Braid is a homage to Super Mario Bros, I wondered what would of happened if Braid was a homage to Zelda. I then somehow managed to find this image on devient art, which seems to combine the two of those ideas perfectly. Interesting isn’t it? Also anyone for “High Definition” remake of a Link to the Past?

    That’s beautiful. I’d certainly dig a Zelda game in that style.

    I just realized I could click the picture and make it bigger. This is awesomely amazing.

    No, no remakes, more top down Zelda though. A Wii top down, not a handheld. I’d be all over that.

    I could dig that - a graphical overhaul is just kick it takes to get me to go back to classics that i’ve overplayed.

    That would be pretty cool… One of many games that would do well this generated with a little revamp, and like everyone else has said, that image is beautiful

    Heck. Yes.

    Top Down 2D ZeldaHD FTW.

    Even if it was a simpel HD remake, something like Bionic Commando Rearmed, it would be awesome.

    Actually…this guy’s done a lot of cool stuff (that I found after lookin’ about on his DeviantArt). Here’s a link to most of his videogame stuff:

    Honestly, I’d be more excited about a water colored Mario game, a la his Milky Sky and Yoshi’s Playground. There’s just something…amazing there.

    Well I can’t say I really liked Braid much…but I would love to have an HD remake of A Link to the Past.

  14. Jake says...

    Oh my god. This is so awesome. If nintendo released this on Wii Ware… I’d go insane from how awesome it would be.

  15. droop4 says...

    NINTENDO, THIS, WIIWARE, NOW!!!
