...have they? I'm honestly not familiar with the history of Zelda games and how their fan reception went, the only thing I can think of from Zelda fans hating on a game's art-style is when the Wii U one was first revealed, and even then, even with the disappointment from the Zelda tech demo, the ones complaining were a minority, or at least felt like it. Weren't you guys used to cartoony stuff thanks to Wind Waker? Didn't that game sell well? |
Since Wind Waker was revealed, each console Zelda entry has been criticized for its art. Wind Waker was cited as being too cartoony. Twilight Princess is seen as too dark and dull. Skyward Sword is viewed similarly to Wind Waker, with some people being even more harsh because they see Nintendo as having not learned from the reception to Wind Waker. As you already mentioned, even what we've seen of the Wii U version has come under fire from some people, though, personally, I'm just happy to see Nintendo finding some consistency with their art style. It was starting to get silly that every game was an experiment.
