I'm nearly 40, and i agree 100% with Soriku's OP, so... it has nothing to do with age, it's just a matter of taste... But it's maybe true younger gamers have no shame tellin' they like cartoony graphics, while the 20-25 want to prove they're "real" men with "better", "grown-up" tastes... That kind of behavior disappears the day you have kids, and you find yourself watching Disney or Pixar classics with them, or playin WW or Galaxy with them... the wonder in their eyes and the fun they have are just so great to see... But for people like me, who have always been animation fans and Zelda fans too, WW cel shaded world >>> any FPS "realistic" world... In fact, some of the WW dungeons are still my favorite of all the Zelda's i've played... and i've played them all at least once, sometimes two or three times... I'll always remember the first impressions i've had in the Forbidden Woods, by example... it's so beautiful and impressive... but it's my taste, and my taste only, i don't force anyone to agree... in fact, i don't really care... It's just a shame Nintendo will never do another WW, on Wii by example, because of the (very relative) "commercial failure" WW has known... I'm sure Aonuma would love to do it, so what if there's "only" 2 or 3 millions people interested, and not 5 or 6 millions? I'd LOVE to play it, that's for sure... |
Or maybe people in their early 30s who have lived their entire life studying art and live in the design world still think Wind Waker is derivative and weak.
...
It is quite possible that the art design behind the game is just plain bad.
