That's what I love about windwaker and makes it look like a hand drawn cartoon. I don't like the gradients and soft shadows of 'evolved' cell shading. The hard transitions is what makes it look great to me. I love the way the shadows play around when you carry a torch into the volcano.
Movement worked fine with this technique and gave it depth where a static screenshot would look like a flat drawing. This play off between a 2D and 3D look gave it its unique feel.

I agree. I think it's what they call toon-shading, if I'm not wrong.
