In a betting mood: I say Zelda U won't look like the 2011 tech demo

Hello everyone, I'm new in the forums (not that new... I was lurking for more than a year before I decided to sign in)
I don't want to bet, it is really hard to guess considering Nintendo's situation, history tell us that they don't make the games like the tech demo.

In my opinion, given the circumstances they might want to appeal to some broader audience showing something unique like they did with Wind Waker, I'm just crossing my fingers waiting for something that looks awesome! (please Nintendo surprise us with something really amazing!).

ps. Please excuse my poor english.

I'd have to disagree, personally. I think that if they go for, not necissarily a "photo-realistic" style, as that just wouldn't work for Zelda, but a "real-ish", semi-surreal look, similar to what they showed in the tech demo, but perhaps more lavish. I think if they go for that, if they go in that direction and have an "Epic HD Zelda" instead of "An HD Cartoony Zelda"...I just see that doing better, and appealing to more people who might want to pick up a Wii U to play it.

That's one of the reasons I hope they don't go cartoony; a cartoony Zelda would pretty much only appeal to the people who are going to buy a Wii U anyway. 

A darker Zelda, however, would draw in thousands of buyers who would otherwise never touch Wii U.

It's vital to the console's success.
