I sincerely disagree. Zelda's charm was always about not looking realistic (AlTTP, OoT, MM, WW, etc.). I would never want a Zelda game having those visuals in the OP.

That video was really cool, though! I loved the look of the trees. It really didn't look that much better than what we currently have (on high-end PCs), but it looked pretty nonetheless.

OoT was one of the most realistic-looking game of its time, despite the fantasy aspect of it, it looked real at the time.


Then it was a virtue that the console limitations held the title back. That being said, character animations were anything but realistic (those carpenters running around with their arms flailing come to mind), and the overall art style of the game was definitely NOT trying to mimic the real world. Look at games like Silent hill or goldeneye, then look at OoT. Link doesn't look realistic at all (his colors and his dimensions).

 

So again I disagree. I don't want to see Zelda games trying to be Skyrim. I would rather leave that to other franchises (like... the Elder Scrolls franchise).
