I dislike Cel Shading for anything that isn't supposed to be anime/cartoonish. Twilight Princess Link was a lot more appealing than WW Link. It works for the DS, not for the Wii

I liked WW Art style, but wasn't a fan of the look for a console zelda game. I think it fits well for the DS though



I am a Gauntlet Adventurer.

I strive to improve my living conditions by hoarding gold, food, and sometimes keys and potions. I love adventure, fighting, and particularly winning - especially when there's a prize at stake. I occasionally get lost inside buildings and can't find the exit. I need food badly. What Video Game Character Are You?

I like the look, but also for technical purposes. If you noticed WW had insane draw distances, not to mention rolling waves in the ocean, which no game before or since has come anywhere near.



The style is great, but for WW the gameplay was not up to par for a Zelda game.
PH was much better.



I like it, but I preffer mature zelda

Could someone explain how cel shading is not mature? I don't really get that. It's definitely not as realistic-looking as TP, but calling it less mature is just poisoning the well.



^^ My guess is because it looks like a cartoon?

It's just the description it's gotten over the years to distinguish the two different art styles.
Notice they're calling the realistic Zelda the 'mature' look, but not calling the cellshaded version an 'immature' one.

Also, the 'realistic style' Link is a very serious person. Cell shaded link has more cartoony facial expressions and jokes etc.



i agree, cell shaded Link will looks good forever, but a realistic game will start to look bad a gen or two later.

i love cell shaded Link and realistic Link, they're both my heros :)



Windwaker is, visually, possibly my favorite game ever.
