This thread has been linked to the game 'The Legend Of Zelda: The Wind Waker'.
I played on the wind waker last night for a little bit and it struck me how camp Link looks and acts when cell shaded. The colours make him look like a small fat version of Hey Arnold. Also he runs and tiptoes around like a damn fairy - cell shading has killed the looks of the game I recon. If you check out the back of the game cover you see the wind waker graphics on the left and the ocarina of time graphics on the right - the graphics on hte right are far superiour and make Link look a bit less gay (even in the picture where he is playing the ocarina/eating a blue taco).
However the gold coloured disc and bonus disc are nice touches and the storyline and gameplay seems excellent so far. I honestly recon the graphics don't work but maybe cell shading is the way of the future. At the risk of sounding like a whiney old man, I shall flee now and prepare to be manhunted by all you Nintys.

Zelda is one of the most immersive games I've played. The graphics just add to this. Playing for hours, sailing the sea, it just feels like you're doing it, not playing a game
Seriously, some of you people surprise me. Letting graphics (especially such amazing looking graphics) get in the way of possibly one of the greatest games ever.

Again, those titles don't actually look very good at all. Don't get me wrong, they're great games, but the Wind Waker runs rings around.
I'm not being bias, I enjoy games on all 3 consoles, but when I see people saying VC, Pro Evo 2 and the Getaway look amazing, it surprises me. They look fairly mediocre and certainly nothing special. I'm even more surprised when people say the Wind Waker looks bad.

I agree to a certain extent with KYZ. The graphics look really, really cartoony and it is hard to get involved in a game and wanting to stab something when it is cutely rounded off with primary colours and kiddy graphics. It is definitely one of the games most distinctive features but I'm not sure it was the right choice.
No offence Kyz, but you have strange taste. You don't like Metroid Prime or Eternal Darkness, two of the best games out today, and you're saying the Wind Waker's looks have spoiled Zelda?
Wind Waker is the best looking game in these last 2 years, by far, the bosses look amazing and the landscapes a fantastic, along with everything else.

That's not even Link, it's a young elf boy. It's also a long time after the Ocarina, so i doubt Link's even alive, yet i'm sure the game will suprise me as i go along.
Hehe

Heck, you feel the need to call the animated character gay so I'd be quiet if I were you...
Fact is that Zelda works wonderfully like this, it's a totally different experience from any game I've seen. The graphics, music, gameplay all combine to make it truly excellent and show that Shigsy is a gaming genius.
And the fact that these words are coming from someone who wouldn't have touched a Cube with a bargepole until two weeks ago should mean a lot, Zelda was the game that convinced me I had to get one of these ! :)
