bolded: no, it doesn't. HD is just resolution. if anything, Zelda U looks like a mix of what's the best in WW, TP and SS, while being made in super high polygon, high texture, high everything. AND it's in HD.

bolded 2: Zelda U is litting the internet. most people loved it.

1. HD is a colloquial term for visual improvement, especially when referring to upgraded visuals. It looks little like Wind Waker or Twilight Princess, imo. The color usage and the bright/dark levels are pretty much evolutionary of Skyward Sword's art style.

2. Many people love it, yes. But how long will the hype really last? Most of the people excited for it are Zelda fans who already have a Wii U. I, for one, am super hyped for it. But it's not the type of Zelda to bring in too many new gamers. People are looking for better graphics, as shallow as that may sound, and a cartoon Zelda will not help sway them. 

People like me and you appreciate the beauty of the game. The reality is, most people couldn't care less. All they see is the cartoon world of Zelda, compared to a realistic world of the Elder Scrolls or Grand Theft Auto or Dragon Age on the other consoles, and choose the others. Unfair? Yes. But it's reality. 

bolded: let's make a few things clear: Zelda for Wii U is NOT CARTOON. people aren't looking for better graphics but if they were, they wouldn't complain because zelda u's graphics look perfect. and what do you mean by "not the type of zelda to bring in too many new gamers"? This is exactly the type of zelda that atracts new gamers and bring back old ones. It's the huge open world adventure we always wanted. I know there are many shallow people but you are SEVERELY OVERESTIMATING their numbers. you are basically saying that millions of people aren't interested in zelda but would be if it were realistic.

By dark/lights and colors standards it certainly is. The game is cel-shaded in the anime archetype, which makes it a cartoon.

And yes, that is what I'm saying. It's the way thing is. Kids these days buy games for the graphics, and they don't stop to appreciate artistic beauty. Aonumua himself admitted that cartoon Zeldas don't have the appeal of realistic Zeldas.
