It is way too early to tell. We do not know much about the internal goals of that tech-demo (beyond of course it was meant to show the power of Wii U and they used original Twilight Princess assets). We do not know the technology behind it. we do not know if the next Zelda game will be based on it. It could be the Wind Waker engine (which was modified for Twilight Princess and later upgraded for Wii U in order to run WWHD) in which case I believe the final game will look slightly better considering that engine was upgraded for WWHD and it runs a lot more smoothly than the tech-demo.
It kind of goes without saying that it will. Tech demos are just tech demos after all, and they are NOT going to go with a "toon" look, no matter what people want to talk about the "different art style".
I'm fairly certain the Zelda team wants to really show off with this coming game, not just graphically, but everything. It's going to be a massive, epic game in every way.
I think is going to look a lot like the art for ALBW, which i love.
Similar to SS but very different at the same time. The tech demo looked gorgeous by 2011 but today is just good looking. They will need a really particular art pushed to the limit to make people WOW again imo.
I wasn't that impressed by the demo back then.
Effects were good, but Link looked still incredibly flat. Quite a bit of room for improvements left.
Probably not since we will get a cartoon/anime look again. Can't say I am fan of that. I want a Twilight Princess 2 >.>

As long as it isnt cel shaded im happy. Its kinda weird cos I couldnt imagine a zelda game going down the root of say skyrim type graphics so im not sure how it will look.
I really hope this game drops this year cos the wii u needs it asap imo not next year now but atleast once the game is out they have the engine ready for the next instalment.
I'd say about the same, though nowhere near as cool. They're going to pull a Spaceworld/Wind Waker on us again, I just know it. It will look great, but it won't be this great Twilight Princess look.
"Here's a mind-blowing, incredibly awesome and realistic tech demo! Now here's a cartoon!"
(Not to say that Wind Waker isn't great in its own way, but showing the styles off in this order is just setting us up for disappointment.)

I thought the demo looked stunning but it was only running on a pc setup with a similar gpu to wii u. I would expect Zelda U to look worse than this as this likely had a huge advantage in cpu resources. Has anyone seen anything close to this already on wii u? I've not seen anything resembling this graphic quality on an actual wii u.
I strongly suspect this is beyond a wii u's capabilities.

That thing I was looking at at E3 and at press events while playing this demo sure looked an awful lot like a Wii U to me.
