| Darwinianevolution said: There is no realistic Zelda. If we compare the series with TES Skyrim, Zelda has always had a very prominent artstyle that made the world and its inhabitants look somewhat cartoony (even TP, just look at the NPC and tell me they're realistic). Compare that to Skyrim, where everything looks what a realistic take on the fantasy world should look like. |
This. Zelda has always had an exaggerated, stylistic aesthetic. Technology has held it back. See the concept art for the N64 versions versus the finished product. The in-game graphics are angular and relatively subdued in terms of colour scheme. Yet, the art is stylised and colourful. This holds up through the 3DS versions, which realise what the N64 couldn't.
