I don't like it. That picture says it all ... they have like 50 other cartoony franchises ... why does Link also have to be more "cartoony"?

They have so many other franchises that can fill the same role, heck Kid Icarus should also be a full time IP.

It's obvious that the market has spoken loudly and they prefer the OoT/Twilight Princess more realistic style for the Zelda series, yet Nintendo has tried to force feed us a more cartoonized Link again and again and again. 

And that's why they keep failing in reaching high sales once again. As long as they don't want to understand what we ask for.


Yeah I kinda think Nintendo needs to just accept the following:

Zelda and Metroid should be more dark and realistic/epic. That's simply what the audience wants. If you want to make a cartoony game ... seriously you have like 50 other franchises to do that with. 

It's really mind boggling honestly that after Twilight Princess had such huge sales and Skyward Sword was a relative dud by comparison that they are doubling down on the cartoony style yet again with the Wii U Zelda. Even the portable Zeldas ... what the hell is Triforce Heroes, a game that centers around cartoony Link and ... fashions? Meh. 

Zelda and Metroid are completely different IP-s. I agree that Metroid is supposed to be more dark and realistic, but not Zelda, Zelda always meant to be colorful fantasy world not dark and realistic. And no, majority of Zelda fans dont want dark and realistic Zelda, thats why Zelda U art style was very well received.

TP had great sales because was on two platforms and was launch title on Nintendo best selling console, Skyward Sword on other hand come out at end of life when basically Wii was dead and gathering dust in some corners, also required to buy addon if you want to play game.
