first day purchase. This is AAA all the way.

I think they tried to do a mash of Wind Waker and Twilight Princess and it kinda ended up a little lopsided, it's nice, but had they stuck to one strength it could have looked as good as Mario Galaxy 2 or Red Steel 2.

According to the Giant Bombcast, the art direction took some negative turn's and had to be scrapped and started again a few times, maybe that's why it doesn't look that polished yet.

Bright, deep, primary colors work really well on the Wii and look really good on an HD TV.  That's one reason why SMG2 looks so good despite not being technically that impressive.  The new Zelda looks great (I had to go find video of it in motion).  My big issue will probably be playing the game the way they intended and not sitting on a couch like I prefer.

It looks like they were trying to fuse the more adult modelling of TP with the cartoonish tones of the older Zeldas but to me the end result didn't look as cartoony as it did washed out. Game looks great still but I prefer the art and general look of the older adventures of Link.

The environment looked extremely unpolished. The gameplay on the other hand was very interesting.

yer it is like wind waker. I hated the cell shading, but when i played the game for a while i actually liked it more as the character had better looking facial expressions, and i don't know why but the grass moving in the wind sorta looked smoother.

I definitely prefer Skyward Swords visuals to Twilight Princess visuals, but in my opinion Wind Waker visuals were still the best.

I like it, but I hope they will improve it a bit.

I have not seen nearly enough to form a solid opinion yet.  What I have seen seems like they could have some gorgeous scenes.

Its not as cartoony as Wind Waker, more "Story book" which fits the zelda theme.

Still, I need to see more.

Seems like the transition from 2D style to 3D style might finally come of age.
