True, but Link and the horse are definitely cel shaded.

What is this exactly? I don't see it as much more impressive than the trailer link. Maybe a little, but I don't think his clothes are that many polygons, etc.

That's a very compressed pic, but basically the normal map and cloth shader for his tunic  are a lot more detailed and nuanced than the simpler cel shaded tunic on the trailer, for example.

It all looks very flat IMO. It's actually kind of cartoony in its own way lol.
