Regarding Twilight Princess HD...
I just want to say that the emulators only do so much when it comes to upscaling. At most, you get filters like HQ2X used. They don't look anywhere near as clean as a texture natively drawn at that resolution; there's just a bunch of anti-aliasing added to the after image smoothen out the upscaled pixels. So basically, that kind of clearness and sharpness can only be given by a texture upgrade. However, it feels like it could've went further with that in my opinion. Either by slightly more detailed textures, or, even higher resolution textures. For example, take a look at these Kingdom Hearts HUD portrait remasters for the HD releases.
It's much easier to see this sort of difference with 2D things, but here the graphics got a 4x resolution upgrade! I don't know if they did with TP HD, but it doesn't look crisp enough to suggest that to me.
