No no mocking those who shat on WW when we had "Celda" and the whole 2000s when a bunch of idiots wanted all Nintendo to either go 3rd party or make M rated Zelda and "mature" games not kiddie stuff. It was there in the Gamecube era and esp there in the Wii era.  Still some of it even 10 years or so ago pre BOTW people thinking From Soft would make a better Zelda than Nintendo. Or those wanting Zelda to be more like God of War (1-3). 2000s was pretty anti Japan.

I didn't really like Wind Waker's cartoon style and preferred Twilight Princess's darker approach; I never wanted Nintendo to go third party or for Zelda to be like God of War, I simply wanted it to be more like Ocarina of Time which I felt was a more compelling direction for the series.

Nothing against preference but talking about a whole attitude of an era. Tho he's an idiot in general. The last vapor of that came with David jaffe using AI to make Zeld alook bland and generic Skyrim saying he fixed it. This is from the guy who could not figure his way out of a room in Metroid Dread, however. BoTW pretty much killed anything left from that era tho.  As for a darker aesthetic for a Zelda game. I did like Darksiders a lot. Esp 1-2. Tho it still had a heavy art style.

So to be clear no you are not an idiot. The idiots are the ones being dumb about it like Jaffe here. They didn't actually want Mature Zelda half the time they really just wanted to mock Nintendo for being "kiddie".
