I thought people would have loved the video because it looked great and it was obviously portraying Zora's Domain. The video is pretty cool though. The purpose was clearly to recreate Zora's Domain as if it was a real place rather than if it was in a HD Zelda game, and it works. I just couldn't stand people saying they want a Zelda game to look like that.

I dunno if I'd prefer one over another, but it looked very good. I wouldn't mind seeing something like that.

I can't think of many games that go for that level of realism, even things people were comparing it to are more stylized. Would love to see what they could do with HW to pull that off as while cell shading and art style of previous games have been well done, it's also used to coverup technical blemishes.

ocarina of time and twilight princess weren't exactly unique. They adopted a darker and semi realistic tone for their days than zelda games nowadays. Plus, why does Nintendo have to be "different and unique." Why can't they go back to their grassroots and make games for the sake of making games. It annoys me when they forcibly try to make games or franchises unique (metroid prime federation force as an example)

Also, I never said zelda U has a bad artstyle, all I said was that it would be nice if a recent zelda game adopted this realistic artstyle to counterbalance all of the cartoonish zelda games recently.

What's wrong with having a zelda game like that? It's not like the series has to be realistic, just one game. The series has spawned many different art styles up and till now, what's wrong with appeasing the fans that would like a realistic zelda game?

I agree with this.

Actual Ocarina of Time was very unique in every way in time when was released. TP have different story, after WW Zelda fans were very mad (even if WW later become one of the most loved Zelda game) saying that they dont want cartoonish Zelda and that they want realistic, so Nintendo made TP with very realistic art style.

Why does Nintendo have to be "different and unique!?

Because that's what that make them Nintendo and because that's why their games are still among the best in industry. This is especially holds for Zelda IP, Aonuma said that they always looking that Zelda be unique in every possible way, I think that one of reasons why Zelda have still so long high quality games and one of the best games in whole generation. 

I dont want realistic art style for Zelda (or for majority of Ninteodo IPs) because we already see that in almost every AAA game, in other hand Zelda U art style looks very unique and and very good.

Metroid Prime Federation is different story, that is fast Metroid spin off.

It's most likely because it's done by 1 guy/a small team that the video is limited, but given recent open world games and Zelda's franchise sales (thus budget) and developpment time (comparable to Final Fantasy (not XV)), it would be possible in a few year on a console with PS4One capabilities.
