Wind Waker is one of the prettiest games ever
WW is the only console Zelda I've never played.
| ksv said: Windwaker is by far the best looking Zelda game. A million times more personality than Twilight Princess. The scaled-down version on the DS games looks awesome as well. |
This is what I want for Zelda Wii but I hear they're going 4 a realistic art style.

Notice they're calling the realistic Zelda the 'mature' look, but not calling the cellshaded version an 'immature' one. Also, the 'realistic style' Link is a very serious person. Cell shaded link has more cartoony facial expressions and jokes etc. |
A description given to it by detractors of the style. Calling it less mature is poisoning the well, no two ways around it.* There is nothing more mature about realism vs. cel shading. It's the same shit people pull with Mario, calling it kiddy. Why is Mario kiddy? Uh, uh, no guns or boobs! Right, so there's no real reason. It's the same thing with cell shading. The humor in both WW and TP is the same, and while Link can be more expressive in WW thanks to the style, that's not just limited to funny expressions, but also those of anger, frustration, etc. It's like the names used in political debates (e.g. people in favor of abortion call themselves pro choice, but their opposers call them anti-life). There's no real substance behind such names, they are simply used because of their connotation and how they change people's view of something before a discussion can even begin.
*For those of you who've never heard of poisoning the well: Poisoning the well (or attempting to poison the well) is a logical fallacy where adverse information about a target is pre-emptively presented to an audience, with the intention of discrediting or ridiculing everything that the target person is about to say.

You know, I never really thought about it before, but hardcore gamers' closest parallel is probably the teabaggers in the US--denial of reality to fit their world view, rabid, insane, absolutely sure they're right even though 98% of the rest of the world goes "what are you retards doing?"

Wind Waker was by far my personal best Zelda game I ever played. Yes it took a dip near the end with the Triforce Fetch questing, but meh. The game was fabulous and different from the standards that it was an amazing experience through the entire game. Anyone missing this game has missed a truly epic Zelda. I hope to see more Cell shaded Zelda with a young teen since I've never been partial to kid Link.
Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
I loved its vast worlds. The best Zelda for me =).

I've got to agree with what's been said - Wind Waker is still one of the best looking games today.
It really depends what the game aims for. The Twilight Princess look is better for a more "serious" Zelda, while Wind Waker is best for fun & jokes (and child Link).
My only issue with the game is Ganondorf - he looks terrible! His face looks too silly and he can hardly be taken seriously, as opposed to him in Twilight Princess, where he's a complete badass.
