I never really got the backlash against Wind Waker's style. It reminds me a lot of Link to the Past, to be honest. And people certainly love that game, from all the fan-based hype I hear over it. It just makes no sense to me why anybody would hate a return to that style when Zelda fans always seem to be crying out for a return to the old style. Sometimes I think that Zelda fans give themselves overly unrealistic expectations on purpose just so they can be disappointed...
Anyway, I'm not going down that road. Each Zelda is a new game to me, not burdened by ludicrous expectations or unrealistic desires to simultaneously see a return to "the way things were" and a leap forward beyond anything ever seen before. I'm sick of that way of thinking. It only leads to entirely unwarranted disappointment, and cheapens a perfectly good game experience with questions of why Nintendo didn't go above and beyond standards that no game company save Nintendo can even meet to begin with.
Sky Render - Sanity is for the weak.
