The system is underpowered if you're comparing it to the XB1/PS4, there's no getting around that.
The next Zelda should have a realistic style simply because the console Zeldas that have a more realistic style tend to sell far better.
Simple as that. Sorry Aonuma.
I don't think he should complain much anyway, 2 of the last 3 home console Zelda titles (Wind Waker and Skyward Sword) both have had cartoony graphics.
Why the hard on to make it 3/4? You can be creative without making your game look like a Saturday morning cartoon.
