Stumbled across this over at Kotatu: http://kotaku.com/the-internets-2001-hate-for-one-of-the-most-beautiful-1441105533

The editors retrieved some of more venomous comments about the original Wind Waker art direction from 2001.

So called hardcore gamers. They are simply one of the worst crowd out there. 

Ha yea I read that earlier too.

Reading that though has cemented in me that the next Zelda is going to look just like the tech demo they showed for Wii U or very similar.  I just can't imagine a company basically repeated history to a dime.  Imagine if the next Zelda looks like Wind Waker again.  To have twice shown these realistic tech demo's and then going the anime route would shock me.   Could you imagine the internet outrage if the Wii U Zelda was too look as mature people say "kiddy" again. 

Especially considering they decided out of all their games to redo Wind Waker in HD.  I can't imagine them doing same/similar art style for both Wii U games.  

So to those "mature" people out there.  At least you have that to look forward too.  The next installment in the Zelda series is going to be a more realistic art style.  How realistic is anyones guess, but at minimum more realistic than Wind Waker.

Will it please people?  Hell no.  Heck just look at recent 3DS game.  People bitched and complained about the art change that did mid development.

Behold the treasonous Nintendo making Link "goofier" as one article titles.
