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.


BS. You know what was well received? The Wii U launch Zelda tech demo. Darker and more mature, very TP-like. When they showed Zelda U people were like "it's not as good as the tech demo, but oh well, it'll pass. It's not THAT bad, it's acceptable, they have done much worse in the past, so we dodged the worst bullet."

Keeping Zelda kiddy and cartoony will eventually marginalize the franchise, just like the Wii U is marginalized now. The sales of OoT and TP are no accidents, maybe a vocal group of fanatical fans like the cartoony Link, but the market doesn't. And there are numbers to back it up.

 

Also, Spemanig, you sure love to treat your personal opinions and theories as truth/fact

BS!?

Wii U tech demo was well recived in 2011! Today wouldnt be that well received.

Offcourse some people for Zelda U said "it's not as good as the tech demo, but oh well, it'll pass. It's not THAT bad, it's acceptable, they have done much worse in the past, so we dodged the worst bullet" but those people were in huge minoroty. Around 90% people said that Zelda U is looking beautiful and that can't wait to play game with that art style. Almost every gaming site reported that new Zelda is looking beautiful, I dont recall that any site said that is looking bad or not so good.

Wind Waker art style today is loved and well received. Wind Waker HD sold 1.6m on 10.7m console, thats great number for only HD port on that instal base. Zelda U will perform much better than WW HD, not to mention if game relly will be ported on NX.
