hey apostrovich...I understand about the bait and switch...I, too refused to play Wind Waker almost as a protest against Nintendo. I hate cel-shading.
That being said, I picked up Windwaker used for $15 a couple years ago and it is a wonderful game. The style works and the animated explosions are rewarding to say the least. Do yourself a favor and give it a spin...with an open mind, not with the intent to hate it. You might be pleasantly surprised.
