Nobody could have pulled that job other than Nintendo.

It was foreseable as SMG, SMG 2 and the stunning enivonmental areas of Skyward Sword are showcases that Nintendo is playing in its own league.

But this doesn't come from nowhere. Take a look at those 16 bit classics like Zelda Link To the Past..
