"The Legand Lives on?"

Back when Nintendo was displaying the GameCube they showed a video in which a 3D Mature looking Link. Then towards the beginning of this year they showed a new Link. He was now a cartoon, very animated, and this made fans very angry. Fans complained and whined about the look, saying Nintendo was going to the kids and not trying to give the gamers what they want. The time is near for this game and it has not been changed, the new look stays. People are still complaining, no matter what great webmasters such as the PlanetGameCube one or even me say after playing it: You love the game. They continue to insult and whine. Why can’t we go back to the time when the games were about the games? Back when a flat 2D Link was all we needed? Why all of sudden does realism come into play? Yes, Nintendo can make the games look real, but does that mean they should? Should they make the game real or just keep things what they are: a very good imaginative character? I like the new look because it keeps the game fresh and I frankly do not want a really looking Link just like I don’t want a real looking Mario. Games are for fun, so why not keep the looking interesting, why must we complain about everything Nintendo does instead of thanking them for giving us such a great franchise, all of you who complain about the look are not fans, just hypocrites in my mind who do not play games to have fun, rather to see how much we can get them to look like us. I think this shows off more of the graphics then before, but I an argue this point until I am blue in the face because if you are determined to not like this game because of the look you won’t be able to enjoy the true game, and that’s why you should be complaining, not because it doesn’t look the way you want, but because that look is a distraction and is too horrible to overcome- wait, the graphics aren’t horrible, so what is stopping you from buying this game? The fact you think this look “isn’t cool”. I for one am buying the Legend of Zelda because I know this is a good game, made by a guy who has given us so many great games and by a company who has been here forever. If that is not enough to buy this game then you are missing out on the best game since Metroid Prime (Hehe, and before that Mario Sunshine). I am sorry if this soft of attacked all you people who dislike the graphics but when you mess with Nintendo, you mess with me, a true Nintendo fan. If you claim to be a fan don’t hate it until you have truly played it, don’t say it’s bad unless you have valid points. Why don’t we be thankful for Miyamoto creating the great franchise he has, or even be thankful Nintendo has been around this long? We are too busy concerned with what the other people tell us is great, and not what we know is great: Nintendo Gaming. I am getting the new Zelda without even a second thought, will you?

Fair enough, but it's not exactly wasting your time, is it?
You are reading the same ammount and the quality of the text will not alter. Putting paragraphs in only enhances the presentation of the post, it doesn't change anything else. So just read it

No, I get annoyed at reading massive chunk of writing, and Paragrapghs make it a lot easier to read. I'm not wasting my time.

Quite right, just remember to re-set your eyeballs after reading. As they do tend to roll back into your head when you reach the end.

DAMMIT!

This point has been flogged so hard it is now a cliché. Regardless i think everyone now accepts the graphical style, and if anyone still doubts, then they are philistines.

Oh, paragraphs please next time. Thats the "Enter" button.

Can you please learn paragrapghs? Then I'll read this.
