| Miyamotoo said: In comparision with WW HD they said, "In terms of lighting, the gains aren't as pronounced as Wind Waker HD's improvements, though they're still evident" and "the game itself lacks the timeless visual style of Wind Waker". |
The only lighting improvement they cited was higher precision bloom, a relatively minor refinement that most people wouldn't even notice if it wasn't pointed out. Before this I hadn't heard a single person mention it, actually. It's still using DX7 era per-vertex lighting, while WWHD employs a modern lighting system with global illumination, HDR, per-pixel lighting, and ambient occlusion.
And Digital Foundry's opinion on the art style carries no more weight than anyone else's. Technological fact is where their word is important, cos they are experts in this field, but a preference in art style is just personal opinion.
