omg!!!! Yes, cuz if they had different graphics the game would of sold 6mil-8mil instead they have these graphics so it'll sell 2mil-3mil lifetime -_-

So for the people who agree with the OP, are you saying that Majority of all Zelda fans only care about graphics? Good to kno :0


There's actually correlation between artstyle and sales.

Ocarina of Time despite being on a 32m userbase sold more than 7 million copies, while Wind Waker sold like 3 million less (4m ltd iirc).

Twilight Princess being so similar to Ocarina of Time, not only on gameplay but also graphics wise, helped the game to pull more than 7 million copies, meanwhile Skyward Sword has not even reached 4 million ltd.

As much as I love Zelda U, being like the tech demo would have generated a lot more hype throught non Nintendo/Zelda fans, just like Twilight Princes in 2004-2006.

WRONG. ocarina of time sold more than wind waker, fact. but saying it was because of the artstyle makes no sense. it makes as much sense as saying it was because wind waker had too much water. you are ignoring everything that people actually think when they want to buy a zelda.
