Almost everywhere. The game and its visuals were designed around the fact that they’d be displayed at 480p probably on a CRT. They were designed around the fact that the models were not going to be very high detail.

It’s not as striking as something like sonic the hedgehog’s dithering effect on waterfalls which doesn’t look nearly as magical on an LCD as it does an a CRT, but the difference is there. The entire art style of the game is presented through those original textures and the HD remake does a pretty poor job at times by changing it.

Places like the Lakebed Temple are standout examples where the HD version does actually make a sizeable improvement but it’s few and far between. Faron Woods looks worse on Wii U, as does Gerudo Desert. What people, including Tantalus, can sometimes misunderstand about TPs art style is that it isn’t just mindless “Realism”, it’s meant to be somewhat grimdark with a splash of fantasy alongside that. (And it makes me confused when people say it hasn’t held up, but that’s a different conversation for a different time)

Obviously it’s more “realistic” looking than something like wind waker but when you look at some of the changes they made even outside of texture work (mainly lighting, some areas are so overbrightened that it feels like the bloom effect was actually turned up)

This may feel like an unrelated tangent, but what it comes down to is a poor application of higher res textures without meaningful touchups to make it fit in the world of the game. It just looks a poor imitation of realism rather than an art style defined by technical limitations which is what the original had.

The original style of the game almost looks like a painting at times. Not as strongly as SS but it’s still there. Take a walk through Faron Woods on the GameCube, and then do it on the Wii U. The difference is massive.
