After reading the remarks of Miyamoto San about the new Zelda, it really got me excited of what the man really has up his sleeves this time round.
I personally would have loved a more realistic Zelda look, naturally. But you really have to look at where the series heart has always been for the most part. It has always been a little 'Cartooney' and in some cases always had a comedic theme here and there.
It is only right in that case for Miyamoto to retain what has always made the series successful and to develop it further.
Going with a Cell Shaded look will more than likely have people going weak in the knees at the upcoming showing and playing at E3.
When I heard too, that Link will have his eyes changed, it really didn't surprise me at all, Im a little optimistic if that is all that will be changed with the character.
With the first showing, that was one of the things that put me off the new look, for so long throughout the Saga I have been used to seeing the character sporting Blue Eyes, it wouldn't surprise me either if we see a totally different look to Link, to what we witnessed with the first showing of the title. Perhaps we will see him more taller, rather than appearing a little squat? Perhaps we will see him more in line to the N64 incarnations?
And where will the story fall in this time? Will it be a continuation from the N64 games? (Considering the N64 titles where the prequels to all others)
It has got many talking, not just of how the story will progress mind you, but of how it is a needle in the eye for all those who where up in arms about the idea of Cell-Shading, despite them never playing it.
And for that im glad, im glad Nintendo retained the look that they where intent from doing from the onset. But what the critics should remember, is that Nintendo has been noted and known to have taken all criticism on-board. Perhaps that was their reasoning in the eye change for the lead character of Link, maybe will see a mixture of both Realistic and Cell shaded to keep both parties happy-With Miyamoto hinting of the eyes being changed- do you really believe that is all that has been done?
I have great confidence in the man, never throughout my life of playing his games have I been left disappointed. There is a great weight on his shoulders with this title and I don't think he is out for the ruination of the series.
But will many be left saddened when they finally play it or see it running?.
I don't think so.
Here's to E3 to find out.

When is the next E3 by the way, anyone know?
Screw E3. I'll actually have a Gamecube to play on by then.
