"Zelda GC looks......"

Apalling! Yesterday I bought a copy of G-Force magazine, for the simple fact it had a free DVD with Clips of games, Including Resi(Ohh my God it looks amazing, but probably the same game as the PS1). But to my shock looking on the top corner of the front cover was a cartoon picture with the caption "LEGEND OF ZELDA GC does it benefit from it's cartoon makeover?"
Apon reading that I quickly turned to the page the feature was on and it was all true, Nintendo had changed Link from a "Realistic" looking charactor to a cartoon. In this feature they even had the nerve to show the original Gamecube pictures of the Link-Ganondorf fight from E3 2000.
The gameplay when this game comes out will propbably be similar to that of the N64 versions, but this look won't work, the Japanese may like it but I doubt very much that the Yanks and us in Europe will accept the change.

I hope they still are developing the game shown at E3 2000 and this cartoon Zelda is just a side project.

Collecting coins isn't that what you do in Mario games, it's Rupees in Zelda not coins. Jumping obstacles doesn't sound too bad cos that's basically what was done at the start of Majora's mask, unless there was actually a jump button then that'll definately mean it's turning into somewhat of a Platformer, I like the jump system in OoT & Majora's Mask.

Basically although the game moves smoothly, i just cant see past what the thing looks like, for example, at the start of the movie i seen a viking boat with link in it, fair enough, but then it changes into "playing mode" and you see that you have to make the boat jump over obstacles and collect coins. Thats not what zeldas all about, there hasnt been a single incidence in the zelda games yet of such crapness.

Why do you say that?
Was it bad?
Tell me please I need to know, if you don't want to say tell me the site you saw it at and i'll see for myself, but my monitor ain't that good so any GC title lookworse than it really is so it'll probably be better to describe and give your opinion.

I seen the video 2 days ago, and to tell you the truth i was gutted, they have ripped my heart from my chest and smeared it all over the wall.

As I've said time and time again I'm still going to buy the cell-shaded version but I'd prefer it if it looked like the E3 2000 one, so if this rumour is true I'll have 2 excellent Zelda titles in my collection in the future.

I think it looks fine. it just that his eyebrows freak me out. XIII is cell shaded FPS and that looks cool!

who here has seen the pre E3 press conference video of Zelda
everyone else can't really judge it properly, because as soon as you se it in action you will realise that we have a bonafide zelda on our hands here, the movement of linka nd his adversaries is a sight to behold, as are the weapon effects and the faire boss. it looks fantastic, and i thin kthat the cel shading really adds something to the graphics.i really can't wait to get my hands on this

The cel shaded looked as good as a game boy title the old zelda from the E3 2000 show with the battle between Link and Ganondorf were cool and I couldn't wait till it came out but now im soooooooooooo dissapointed.
I've herd rumors that they are making two versions though! (Thank God)!

People said that I'd get used to the cell-shaded Zelda when I see it more often, I have to say after seeing proper screenshots from E3 I have to say it doesn't look as bad as I first thought I am getting more used to it.
