"Link looks gay!"

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.

Exactly what I've always thought BEARDS.

People go round touting that games like Halo and THe Getaway have brilliant graphics, when actualy they are just really really really really really really really really really really really really really crap imitations of the real world.

It's my opinion actually, I never said it's fact.

If you're gonna post threads with "Link looks gay" as the title, you have to expect a bit of hostility.

Me thinks it's you who needs to grow up.

What, like you are?

Go and play GTA3 something, don't let the fact that it's a pahetic imitation of real life bother you.

I say again, what's the point of realistic graphics? If I wanted realism I wouldn't be playing a game about an elf-boy in a magical land who's fighting against an ancient evil.

That is a biased, one-sided and closed minded opinion, which is particularly childish. Grow up dude.

My mistake about cell shading, it is fairly similar though. I think cartoony graphics don't work well in a gaming environment. It seems that gaming developers reached 'near-reality' with titles like Vice City and Pro Evo 2 and then took a diversion and went all whacky and in some ways almost took a step back.

Link looks better than he's ever looked before. Anyone who can't see this is either short sighted or just stupid.

If it is a point then it isn't pointless!

All I said was he looks pretty gay, I didn't say anything about the quality of the game at all. I offered my opinion and you took offense for no reason at all. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion of something and you aren't going to change mine. I meant to offer my opinion, not to start a feud so don't flip out and take offence.

What type of answer did you expect?

Wanted all of us to agree with your pointless points?

Cel Shading is also 2D, which Zelda isn't.
