Soriku said: Cel shading in HD works fine... They just made the art style different. It would look good in motion, like a good looking claymation or something, but it's not really Wind Waker. They should've made it closer to Ninokuni.

Can they do that without hiring Studio Ghibli?

Ill take WW again however it looks, but I do think it looks better!

i think op is on something.  plastic?  how about perfection.   no jaggies.  looks sweet if'n ya ask me.

Yes. The old WindWaker was almost like Ni No Kuni minus the HD and character stylization.

I cannot wait to buy this game. Since I largely missed the Gamecube era due to school, this is the only Zelda (console version) I've never played. I always figured I'd just get it on VC, but as a new game on WiiU... day one sir.

It's going to look gorgeous.

Come on, in the ND they almost literally said they were only experimenting with upping the resolution to HD and screwing around with some added effects to see how it looks also with regards to the new original game until now, and this is what came out. They didn't even upgrade any textures (and models) yet, which they are likely going to do.

And even if they don't, I'm happy that this is going to look noticeably different. If it would literally be Wind Waker in HD, it would get a flat (just look at the screenshots of the Dolphin emulator people posted) and uninteresting look because it would be exactly the same.

And Ni No Kuni looks gorgeous too, but what have you with such a legendary animation studio behind it's visuals.

it looks great, i cant imagine a world where this looks worst than its original
day one for me

Yeahhhhh, no. It looks glorious. And you will love it.

Haha awesome. Welcome to Neogaf, 2 weeks ago.
How about:

This.
is.
not.
final.

Not even remotely close. It's early early concept art they made while brainstorming for the ALL NEW Zelda game, among other art styles.
