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.

But you again ignoring very important facts that I wrote, 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.
"you could instead follow in the footsteps of your most popular entries and reach a bigger audience".
Totaly agree, great new Zelda game that will be realased on two platforms, and launch title on one platform. So no need for "serious graphics", also beacuse today almost all games have "serious graphics" on much stronger hardwares than Nintendos (I am including PC too), it would be impossible for Nintendo to top those "serious graphics" and make something that looks very good and attractive for today standards, but Zelda U art style basically top all non "serious" graphics, looks beautiful, very unique and attractive, and that's what exactly Nintendo wants to achieve with every main 3D Zelda game.

Those are not facts though, those are your opinions.
It comes down to this; do you deny that cartoon graphics are less popular than "serious" graphics in today's market?

-Zelda OoT is first 3D Zelda and one of the best games ever and that certainly affected sales. Fact.
-Zelda MM also had more "serious graphics" like OoT and was released on same console, sold much worse than OoT and ended up like one of worst selling home console Zelda. Fact.
-TP was launch title on best selling Nintendo console ever and that certainly affected sales. Fact.
-WW wasn't launch title, and sold 4.5m on instal base of 22m. Fact.
All this are facts.
Of Course that "serious" graphics are today way more popular, but that doesn't mean that game that looks different and unique and dont have same graphics like every other game will sell worse, on contrary, I think it will sell better. Zelda is same like other Nintendo games but on even more higher level, very unique, different and you dont have nothing similar on market.
And you again totaly ignored what I wrote, today almost all games have "serious graphics" on much stronger hardwares than Nintendos (I am including PC too), it would be impossible for Nintendo to top those "serious graphics" and make something that looks very good and attractive for today standards, but Zelda U art style basically top all non "serious" graphics, looks beautiful, very unique and attractive, and that's what exactly Nintendo wants to achieve with every main 3D Zelda game.
