Hmm, what if this is just Twilight Princess output on HDMI? Maybe the rumor that said Wii games on Wii U would be output on higher resolution is true...

No it's not. Even upscaled with HDMI the graphics of Twilight Princess would not look so good.

Let's also not forget that those little minigames, while forced upon the player, were manageable, brief, and by no means game-breaking. Honestly, I forgot Twilight Princess had the sumo minigame until ol' Bladexdsl mentioned it.
Annyway, on topic...
This demo makes me quite excited about the Wii U! Although some may be worried about the system being only on par with current-generation competitors PS3 and Xbox 360 in the graphics department (a fear that, while not entirely justified at this point due to the system's specs being inconclusive, is understandable, I suppose. It would really put a damper on all this WiiU excitement if ol' Sony and Microsoft made Ninty's system look grossly "outdated" once again, after all), it's at least nice to know that the WiiU is much more capable than its predecessor was (or is, rather.
Ordinarily, I wouldn't sound so concerned about a system's power (yes, I'm afraid I'm one of those sanctimonious "gaemplayz b4 grafx" people, hah!), but in the case of the Wii, it may have proved to be a limiting factor in some aspects, in my humble opinion. Sure, the Wii was wildly successful for quite the length of time, and it certainly isn't short on splendid titles. Even so, interest seems to have withered in recent months. Aside from Skyward Sword, there doesn't seem to be many Wii titles that people seem to be anticipating (However, feel free to mention some I may have forgotten!). With so many Third-Party developers not wanting to put forth the effort to make the most of the Wii's power constraints when the competing consoles provide more room to work with, it's understandable that we'd see such a decline in notable titles. The WiiU seems to have given developers a bit more freedom with its new specs, and as a result, we may see more Third-parties try their hand at the WiiU after previously being turned off by the Wii's limiting factors.
However, graphics weren't the only thing that the Wii lacked in comparison to the competition. Online functionality is also a common gripe the Wii gets, by gamers and developers alike. It will be interesting to see how Nintendo plans to rectify this aspect with their new console.
BUT, I digress. In terms of graphics, I can at least put my mind at ease.
HDMI increases the amount of polygons and makes the textures have a higher resolution so they look at least twice as good. HDMI also adds motion blur and all proper lighting thingymajiggers to enhance the graphics.WiiBricker said:

I'm surprised people are so turned on by tech demos as if they're final products. As a tech demo, a lot of the system resources can be dedicated to a specific aspect being demoed, rather than running an actual game. Check out Peach's Castle tech demo for the GameCube, and you'd be surprised why it looks better than most Wii games. Check out that raptor tech demo for the PSX, and you'd be surprised how ugly everything else on the system looks. Why? because the tech demos are not games. They're examples of what the system is capable of... often in ways where only one aspect of the system is exemplified.

i went ahead and look at the demo you say and the epach one looks like a gamecube game so what are you talking about ????
they need to bring this thing out, because it has to be the only game that actually looks like it should be call next gen.

It's not an oversight. Since the majority of the world's population are right hand dominant, Nintendo made Link right handed in Twilight Princess Wii (actually, the Wii version is simply a mirrored version of the original Gamecube). It is obvious that if any Zelda game supports motion from here on out, Link will be right handed.
Seeing as it was a tech demo, and nobody was actually playing, yes, it was an oversight.OrGoN3 said:
The shadows look extremely clean, which is where I find current consoles fail; most shadows end up really jagged.

Just because a game has great graphics doesn't mean the quality of the game is going to be bad. And who HASN'T wanted an HD Zelda. It's not exactly cartoony/kiddy like Mario or Kirby, but rather mature and "realistic" (If you get what I'm saying).
