I do miss gritty Zelda a la TP, but y most Zeldas are solid gamed and graphics usually don't make a diffetence for me. I like the E3 Zelda style but I hope it doesn't get more cartoony like SS

I fully agree with you, but this gen that possibility was lost the moment Nintendo released the Wii U with dated specs... The people complaining about Assassin Creed being 900p would never buy a Wii U as it is. Which is the main reason I'm telling you, different art style would be no better for Zelda Sales. It isn't even an IP that attracts them, Nintendo must assemble western teams to create IPs like The order, Bloodborne, The last of us, that would expand its user base.

The tech demo was easy to make because they simply adapted the Twilight Princess style to HD. As Aonuma confirmed when Wind Waker HD was announced, they were also experimenting with various art styles while in the process of designing a brand new art style for the new Zelda game. They were very upfront about this from the outset, never ever suggesting that the game would resemble the tech demo. The new art style has much more effort put into it than the tech demo, and it shows, as the new style is significantly more visually appealing.

I wish everyone would simply accept a much better-looking game than the one they think they were promised.

By your logic, Lexuses are not made by Toyota. You deserve a Nobel Prize. But again, why do "some" want Zelda to be a "mature" title all of a sudden? Even Twilight Princess had the very typical Nintendo quirkyness me and alot of people love.

LOL! If you want to play gritty "Zelda" go play Darksiders II, you know, that game the now bankrupt THQ made.

Now this I fully agree with you on.

I still think however that a lot of gamers who shun Nintendo today played Ocarina in their youth, and could be lured back by a Zelda that didn't have the stigma of what they percieve as "kiddy".

For the record those were epic graphics for that time... every nintendo fan was hyped for that game... Zelda fan or not...

If only.

They probably do it for several reasons.

- They don't want to ruin the surprise later on.
- It's quicker and cheaper to create a demo based off previous ideas
- They may not have even decided what graphic style to use at that point. They probably begun work on the Wiiu Zelda demo a year before the system even launched.
- it's basically a unique situation where one game franchise has various graphic styles.. 

THIS x10...

All do respect to the LoZ: Wind Waker, Minish Cap, Phantom Hourglass, and Spirit Tracks (Epic Zelda's especially Phantom Hourglass and Minish Cap) I seriously feel those Zelda's should be reserved for like the 2nd Entry in a Nintendo consoles Life span. Think about it... there's a reason why Twilight Princess and Ocarina of Time sold over 19.5 million units combined... While their cartoon looking counterparts sold only 15.35 Million combining all 4...

I don´t know man.. I actually prefer the new style to the other one. Like, I like it A LOT more.
