Wow they did quite a few changes in addition to the graphics. Won't hurt to pick it up and play it through, it is one of the finer Zelda games for sure!
Gotta justify the inevitable $59.99 somehow.

Damn it, now its starting to bug me that the reflection is all wrong
Why would anyone do that lol
Hero mode from the start is awesome. I wonder what exactly they're changing to make it harder.
Link making a duck face while making photos of himself would be kind of awesomeLink to take selfies? Nintendo truly understands this generation.
- Hero Mode available from the start
FINALLY nintendo, finally.......
GameXplain's new video preview has footage of the selfies and a few more details:

Is the soundtrack still midi?
What is hero mode? Scrolled through the first page and didn't see an answer.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
HOW CAN THEY NOT HAVE FIXED THIS!!
His arm still goes through his shield....
how? would it really be that hard or are they being lazy.
this might be a small thing for most people but it annoys me massively.
So close to perfectionIn the Gamespot video it sounds like it to me. I don't know why anyone would expect the soundtrack to change, especially when considering the battle music syncs to the action that's happening on-screen. They didn't change OoT3D's music they certainly aren't going to here.
Hopefully it works well in action. Is this 1080p 60fps?

1080p 30 FPSSo here's what has me interested:
- Potions to recover health in Hero Mode: Since there are no heart drops in Hero Mode, your only way of recovering HP is through the consumption of potions, and potions naturally have limited charges, just like the Estus Flask in Dark Souls. Since you will presumably have to buy potions, this also means rupees have more value now. And since you take double damage in Hero Mode, you'll actually need potions, and thus rupees.
- Photography and Miiverse: The Tingle Bottle washes up on random shorelines and contains Miiverse postings by fellow users, creating the sense of a living, breathing world... not unlike the bloodstains in Dark Souls and Demon's Souls. Add to this the many ways to take photos -- Miiverse screenshots, first-person camera, and self-shot photos -- and more picture slots for the camera, and there will be many interesting Miiverse posts to wash up in the Tingle Bottles.
- Ease of navigation: The Swift Sale ramps up your speed, and you can turn freely without regard for wind direction. But if you want to sail normally, you can now use the touchscreen to change wind direction. The touchscreen will be fantastic for inventory, as well.
Those are the three main points I'm interested in. As for what I'm not sure about... The soft shadows, as indicated in the IGN write-up, and the excessive bloom. Hopefully it works well in action. Is this 1080p 60fps?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Extra challenge is nice and all, but the most exciting implcation of this for me is the ability to skip cutscenes - if I recall correctly, that was Hero Mode only in Skyward Sword. This game could be speedrun-worthy yet!- Hero Mode available from the start
Better be white.
It's gonna be piss yellowZelda Gold, please
Only prerecorded cutscenes were skippable in Skyward Sword Hero mode.Extra challenge is nice and all, but the most exciting implcation of this for me is the ability to skip cutscenes - if I recall correctly, that was Hero Mode only in Skyward Sword. This game could be speedrun-worthy yet!
Having witnessed someone playing the Best Buy demo, I can confirm they rearranged the Helmaroc King battle theme. I fail to see why they'd change it just for the demo.
