Ocarina being "one of the best games ever" is by definition just an opinion, since "best" is subjective matter.

So you admit that cartoon graphics are less popular. It is therefore bad business and frankly straight-up idiocy to handicap Zelda's appeal with a non-mainstream art style. Gamers don't want "unique". Gamers don't want cartoons.

No, that is also fact.

I wrote what I meant, and no, gamers don't want only "serious graphics" and same graphic all the time, they also want something unique and different.

And you again completely ignored fact that Zelda with "serious graphics" (espacily on Wii U) wouldnt look good at all for today standards, while Zelda U looks great for today standards. Those mainstreams you referred to, would look at Zelda U with "serious graphics" and said this dont look good at all because they have so many game that looks so much better, while those same mainstream said for Zelda U "cartoon" art style, this looks different and interesting.

Reviews are not facts. They are opinions.

And that's the thing, mainstream gamers don't want "unique" or "different" or "interesting".  

Having a more mainstream art style doesn't mean photorealism. Darker aesthetics can still be stylized. It just can't look like a childen's cartoon if you want anyone outside of the Nintendo fanbase to take it seriously.
