There's been a lot of negativity surrounding TPHD so far, so I thought I'd try to shift gears and get people thinking about what made them love TP so much in the first place. In no particular order, here are some moments I'm absolutely looking forward to experiencing again:
Howling the Song of Healing - Got shivers when I heard this the first time. The Song of Healing from MM was such a sorrowful and solemn tune, so a wolf howling it along with the spirit of the original player (Hero of Time Link) is an excellent way to relive it.
Midna's Lament - This entire segment of the game is amazing, and probably one of the most emotional in the series. The Link/Midna relationship is, to me, the best and most well developed in the series. Fighting back to Zelda with Midna barely alive packed a huge punch.
Trekking through Gerudo Desert - I always try to do this part at night. It's so cool coming back to this place and storming it, like you're taking on an entire desert. This is better with your new-found purpose, getting the mirror of Twilight. The music is awesome as well.
Following Queen Rutela's Ghost - The rendition of the Serenade of Water is chillingly beautiful, and matches the somber tone of that part of the game excellently. It's just so fitting, seeing as Rutela is a decedent of Ruto and everything.
Ganondorf's Execution - Now THIS is what I was expecting as the OoT/MM follow-up. This is exactly what should happen to Ganondorf after OoT; execution by sword befitting of the SOB he truly is. What a perfect scene for that point in the game.
Blizzeta's Demon Face - It still scares me to this day.
Snowboarding down Snowpeak - This place is so gorgeous during sunrise when the light starts to hit it. It's not very "Zelda-y", but it's such a great way to soak in the environment.
Chudley's Shop - I have to pay 20 rupees just for the privilege of walking through the door, and then I'm berated for being the poor peasant that I am. Hilarious.
Navigating the Lost Woods - Getting infuriatingly lost once more in a forest that makes everything look the same. I wouldn't have it any other way. Once again, love the music making a comeback.
Climbing Hyrule Castle - This was almost as epic as climbing Ganon's Tower in OoT. Actually, it might be even more epic now that I'm thinking about it.
So what are your favorite TP moments? If you're going to get TPHD, are you looking forward to experiencing them again?
