I hope they don't go that route with Zelda.

Realistic graphics won't work too well on a franchise like Zelda where magic, fantasy and mythology is so important. Besides realism has never been a goal in the development of a Zelda game. I think that graphics like Twilight Princess or the ones from the WiiU tech demo are the most realistic thing we'll get for Zelda, and for me that's fine.

On the other hand, there are other Nintendo games that could make use of such graphics like Metroid, F-Zero or Endless Ocean.

@bolded Just...completely disagree. I'm not sure what else to say :D

It's ok, I know it's just my point of view.

But with realistic graphics there are some aspects of Zelda games that wouldn't work. A silent Link, the Gorons, cutting the grass to get rupees, etc.

Well in my ideal Zelda Link would no longer be silent, but you could work it into the story. Born a mute/ cursed by some evil so he can't speak etc. Gorons could totally work, think LOTR cave troll just less ugly. The rupees...I'll give you that.
