Again, OoT sold so much beacuse was probably best game ever (MM with similar art style is worst selling Zelda), while TP sold beacuse was launch title on best selling Nintendo console ever, and we have WW sold 4.5m on instal base of 22m, so realistic art style isnt reason why those games have that sales.

Here's the simple facts: Twilight Princess and Ocarina are more popular than Wind Waker. The numbers are clear. And anyone can see nowadays that cartoon graphics are not as popular as more "serious" graphics. Therefore, it is simply bad business to handicap your game's sales with a less popular art style when you could instead follow in the footsteps of your most popular entries and reach a bigger audience.
