I realized Twilight Princess and Wind Waker were ported to Wii U in HD. Should I play classic or HD? I haven't really made too much usage of my Wii yet. Also I don't have a gamecube adapter and I am not planning on getting one. Thanks!
HD. The horse controls on twilight princess are worse, but other than that, both games play and look remarkably better than their classic versions. The addition of widescreen alone is enough of a reason to purchase the HD versions. That and the faster sale for wind waker.
Both the Wii U and pro controller will work fine for Wind Waker and twilight princess
Classic if you have access on the original console, game, and crt tv or edtv. All for nostalgia and original feeling to the game.
HD if otherwise. It's better in every way including updated graphics and gameplay, probably fixed some bugs.

It's an aesthetic choice. I personally think the originals look better. The HD remakes play at higher resolution with larger textures, but the meshes have not been touched. I think the low poly meshes are jarring in high resolution and detract from the experience.
Have you played a gc game on dolphin upscaled? That's what the wiiu remasters basically look like.
If you want to play the orginials, but in widescreen, nintendont allows you to do that. That's my preferred way to play the gc zeldas.
I've played both games, both classic and HD. If all you have is a hacked Wii, or a PC with Dolphin, I'd say classic with the widescreen AR codes. But if you have a Wii U, I've found that the remakes have greatly benefited from the developer's hindsight, and tend to be a bit more enjoyable than the remakes (this is especially true for Wind Waker).
Unless they are truly, truly terrible, I tend to find that decent texture work can do a very good job at helping to cover for low-triangle meshes. And let's face it, TP has good meshes. WW really doesn't factor in here, because the art style is such that triangle count in the meshes really doesn't matter. But, I prefer the HD rerelease in this case due to the tweaked gameplay mechanics (such as the alternate sail) and improved visuals, which lend themselves to the original art style extremely well.

For Twilight princess it depends if you like the wii remote more or not. If you mean the Gamecube version, I don't see any reason to play it. Same with Windwaker.
The texture work is mostly faithful, and the meshes in TP and WW are good, but they were never meant to be seen at 1080. Nothing looks smooth anymore. Personally it bothers me when a circle looks like a dodecagon, but I understand a lot of people are fine with that.
To me the HD remakes look like frankenstein monsters. I'm happy that they were released so that today's kids can play these masterpieces, but they're not for me.
Ffx remake looks good for me. I think is more about who made the remake than the remake itself.

I'm part of the minority I see.
Classics were meant to be played the way they were originally released. HD rereleases are nice, but it's just not the same, especially when you enjoyed the original.
HD rereleases are good for those who never played it before, or that they could have it on most recent consoles.

HD has no improvement but HD textures and a bonus dungeon.
HD Wind Waker is beautiful in comparison.
I think every remake game should come with the original version inside.

It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem. -

the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze -

but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in

There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.

But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".

Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
