I think both viewpoints are valid. Those who wanted a 1:1 remake updated to modern day standards will be happy, but it's also okay to have hoped for a more ambitious remake. (More of a reimagining than remake.)

This is for sure not just a reskin. There are similar aspects because it's the same game, but it is clearly rebuilt and redesigned. I've played through this game 50+ times, and I can immediately tell from the trailers it is not a reskin. Halo Campaign Evolved is a reskin.
They stated that it was intended to be a faithful re-creation.
What makes you think it's anything more than that? Halo Campaign Evolved had new mission. Granted, they weren't good, but that was more than just a reskin.
Yeah, there are *minor* differences, obviously the town being the big one based on just being in 3D and differences in NPCs, but I am not expecting any major changes (more dungeons, massive new secret areas, etc).
If you think Halo Campaign Evolved was not a reskin but this is, I truly do not know what to tell you. The opposite is objectively true.
I know they added some awful new "prequel" missions to Campaign Evolved, but the actual campaign itself was just a reskin. It was literally the same game. Same dialogue. Enemies in the same places. Weapons in the same places. Exactly the same map layouts other than The Library.
They are both reskins
Halo is less, due to the new levels added
Nothing like that here

That is objectively false. The only explanation here is that you never played either original game, Halo or Zelda.

Please point to new content (dungeons, new areas of Hyrule, etc) that was revealed in Zelda and please point to where there isn't new content in the Halo CE remake
I completed halo last month and played through the new missions that weren't in the original game
You are factually wrong with your take

You must be confused. A remake of a game doesn't necessitate new areas and new content; it means remaking the things that were already in the original game, as opposed to simply enhancing the way they already look. Please point to something in the Ocarina of Time trailer from the original game that is not obviously completely reimagined and remade. The Castle Market might be the only thing you could argue.
Here is a list of things from Halo Campaign Evolved that are obviously not reimagined and remade:
1. The entire campaign, with the exception of The Library being laid out differently.
They did add some poor quality prequel missions. Those are accessible separately from the original campaign in the main menu. The original campaign itself, which is what I was referring to, is reskinned. Other than visuals, if you have played the original Halo CE many times as I have, there is no reason to play the new version. I can't count the number of times I walked around a corner or through a door hoping to have some kind of new combat experience…nope. Enemies in the exact same place. Exact same layout. Exact same dialogue. Exact same game, with the exception of a couple of weapons recycled from later Halo games. They just enhanced the way it already looked.
Nobody with any intellectual honesty can say that this Zelda game is a reskin, and in the same breath claim that Halo Campaign Evolved is a true remake.

You're getting tied up in semantics.
By definition, I wouldn't call this a "reskin". They didn't take the base game/engine and just apply HD textures and whatnot to it. They built this entire game from the ground up on a different engine. They've altered the zones they've already shown to look and feel newer.
And, YET AGAIN, you have no idea what other new content they may or may not have added to the game. Everything you say is pure conjecture.

They didn't build the entire game from the ground up. The base code is probably what they built around in a modern engine like many other remakes.
Not that it matters even if they did rebuild it from the ground up. It's using the same characters, same locations, same enemies, same dungeons, same basic combat, a few modernized tweaks here and there, but the structure of the game is the EXACT same. It's not a re-imagining. It's a re-skin. The draw is the visual uplift and modern controls.
Nintendo themselves announces that they were doing a faithful remake. I'll take them at their word and their history. Anyone counting on massive differences other than visuals is just setting themselves up for disappointment. Nothing they showed was an expansion to the existing game in any way whatsoever other than the town section being 3D this time with some more shops and NPCs which isn't game changing.
There is of course nothing wrong with a reskinned remake either, I'm just calling it what it is. Not what I wanted as I prefer games that are that old to have a little more new content to them.

This is what i'm talking about. You are completely talking out of your ass. In two adjacent sentences, you make an absolute claim. In your next sentence, you're now saying "probably".
You have no idea. This is what I keep saying. You DON'T know what's in the game or how it was created yet you continue to make claims based in no facts.

Actually it has been confirmed that various areas that were just background in the original version are now open for exploration, so that's false.

Things are tense in here, so let's find some common ground. I think we can ALL agree on hopefully allowing the player to skip through Kaepora Gaebora text, or getting him to STFU.

I'm not talking about relatively minor changes. There's no new massive areas. Of course within each existing area there are differences, the town is a clear example.

Speaking of this, what was up with Link flying with Kaepora Gaebora over Lake Hylia? I could have sworn the only place Link flew with Kaepora was down Death Mountain into Kakariko?

Well, the game they are making is Ocarina of Time, which is a game that was already made. If you're looking for major new content, new areas, new tribes, new characters, new dungeons, and new plot, then you're looking for a new Zelda game. This is a remake of an existing Zelda game. The fact that your definition of "remake" is apparently "a completely new game" does not change the fact that this is a remake, and objectively not a reskin.

You are thinking that Reskin = Remaster, that is not what I am saying at all. Reskin to me is the same thing as a Remake.
