The N.64 zelda games were brilliant, but now the gamecube is coming oiut, nimtendo has given zelda a new look. Link now looks like a babyish cartoon character, rather than an ace, realistic link, like we all remember. But what do you think? Do you like the old, realistic character, or the new babyish cartoon style game? Tell me what you think. (please!) :-)
Have any of you played Paper Mario???
It's a Mario games with a difference, and nothing less than Mario 64!
And Zelda went from top-down 2D views to a brilliant 3D one on the N64, also not a bad idea!
So changes are good things! And the new Zelda look should turn out to be good!
No one complained about Zelda when it went 3D, or when Mario appeared in 2D again - and look how they turned out!
It's true that we don't like change, but we'd soon get bored of the same old Zelda 64 style on the GameCube.
Have faith in Shigsy, the man who knows how!

The new Zelda will be cell-shaded. It has gone too far along development to turn back. If they did, the release date would be put back far too long, and would be very bad for Nintendo's rapidly improving image.
Besides, the cell-shaded look will be in 3D, just using flat-shaded characters and environments (like Jet Set Radio on DC).
Look forward to it and enjoy it when you get it!!

Fare point ! :)
Why are people having such a big problem with the cell-shaded look of Zelda? The problem is, people are afraid of change.
I for one commend Nintendo for this change of direction. It will open up a whole host of new gameplay possibilities, but fundamentally will play no different to a photo-realistic look.
I personally am getting fed up of games developers trying to make their games look real. In this respect they will always fail. If you want reality, open your eyes. Games should be a blend of great ideas glued together with functional graphics, and this is what Nintendo are marketing.

shigsy is to dam inovative! instead of using slightly modified winning formula, like s-mario64, he is off desighning diferent(Pickmin-luigi's mansion) to the extremely, unappealing zelda title. paper mario, mmh, diferent. the flat charicters didnt matter because it was an RPG. but when your playing a fast flowing adventure, you dont want badly animated charicters.
nintendo, as much as i like them are turning into patronising morons. maybe the japanese prefer them to tho old look, but we want to see the gamecubes graphical power being proven, if it is proven in the longest, best designed game ever, thats killing two bandicoots with one stone.i dont want to be ripped off like this, not with this kind of graphics. the gamplay may be off the chart, but noone is going to want to play a game that looks worse than the flinstones.
what is nintendos problem. i hope fr thier sake, they figure were this curve is going, before the nintendo market grinds to a halt.

Just relised that your new (well I'm still a newbie), welcome to the Chatforums. Why don't you get youself a tagline (go to edit my details !) :)
It has steered me away from Nintendo's good side a little bit. They just don't consider the fact that most of us aren't in diapers any more. It's like a cutesy, kiddy cartoon thing like Pokémon, but then, I've never liked any of the Zelda games, but now, I think they've gone a bit too far with making Zelda crap.
The realistic look looked amazing, the new cel shaded graphics look okay but Link looks a bit out pf proportion (his head is to big etc)!!! :]
