When they made Wind Waker, a lot of people were disappointed with the art style of the game, bashing it for its "kiddy" look. But I was always a fan. For the first time, we had a 3D game that really looked like a cartoon, and the animations and art style were very well all very on point and uncompromising for the direction they were going for. To this day, this game still has a very convincing graphics atyle that endures the passing of time.
But I also wished Nintendo would push things a bit further and make an adult Link game with more of an anime style. Years later, my wish is being granted.
Not only that, but I wanted them to go back to the roots of the franchise, and take more inspiration from the first games than from the OoT formula they've been using since that game came out. And again, Nintendo seems to have granted my wish.
I couldn't be more hyped for a Zelda game than I am for Breath of the Wild. I will most likely get the NX version, depending on the controller gimmick they're going for this time around. But the Wii U version sure is a looker already.
