1080p 30 fps isn't entirely out of the question thanks to the art style allowing for simpler graphics that look great.

They could work some of that Nintendo magic with smart depth of field use.

Personally I'd prefer a rock solid frame rate (30 or 60), over anything, and decent AA instead of 1080p.

It's NIntendo, so you're almost certainly going to get that rock solid framerate; 30fps most likely, going by past Zelda games.

As for 1080p, here's how I see it; why would they go to all the trouble  to achieve 1080p when they could just go with 720p and get twice as much pixel fillrate to use on shaders and other eye candy that would be more noticeable?

Look at Smash Bros U vs Mario Kart 8; that's the difference 1080p to 720p makes to the rest of the graphics. Like with 60fps, when you opt for 1080p over 720p, you're essentially halving the horsepower you have for the rest of the graphics.

Smash bros is a piss poor example. we can clearly see the graphics would be far bellow the alpha zelda u trailer, even with more horsepower from being 720p. The smash devs simply didn't go all out. this is the zelda team we are talking, 1080p with awesome graphics is a possibility.
