What's with all the Toon Link hate?
I
love the style of Wind Waker! It's so...FUN!
I think Zelda needs some kind of style. It doesn't necessarily have to be a cell shaded toony style in every game but at least
some kind of style.
There's nothing I hate more in video games than realism. It's really uninspired to make a game that looks like the real world. I play games to get away from that. Frankly there are some games where realism works but I don't feel like Zelda is one of them.
Detailed? Yes! Polished? Yes! Realistic? Not necessarily.
I didn't like the style of Twilight Princess. Everything felt so dull and empty. No colors, no joy...It always felt like Hyrule was already taken over by evil.
Don't get me wrong, a game that can make you feel creeped out, depressed and lonely can be a good thing (like Majora's Mask) but I just didn't like that the whole game was like that. Well...at least there was the Malo Mart. :3
I think Ocarina of Time is a good balance between sylized and realistic. At least it had colors. :U
Skyward Sword also looked great...well...except for the blurry textures.
I didn't love the DS ones either. Well, I liked them, I just didn't love them. But not because of the style but rather because of the gameplay.
I wish there was another game that plays like Minish Cap, A Link to the Past and Link's Awakening.
One that you control with buttons, not with the touchpen. One that uses hand-drawn graphics as opposed to 3D graphic.
