It looks great, but it doesn't look Zelda. Maybe a Farcry or Skyrim HD textures mod or something like that, but not Zelda.

It is Zelda. If it was done with detail thrown at it. Old games just have rocks as flat walls, and ramp floors. They're just missing the detail of what rocks are made of. Cracks, pits, blemishes, different colors etc. Just look at OTT and TP side by side. As graphics got better. Those ramps and walls got more and more detailed.

older zeldas wouldn't look like that if given the opportunity.

Because the older 2D ones had to be done in a more cartoon pallet. This is basically what Minecraft does. How do I represent grass. In 8 bit style. But at the same time, feel like i'm in, a lack of better term, a cartoon. He did the reverse. OOT Doesn't use that pallet anymore. It went for more acurate shadowing and colors. Just keep refining that more and more. You reach this. You can still have the universe styles in this enviroment. A tunic, is a tunic. Pointy ears, are pointy ears.
