Completely agreed, but maybe they could've made it look a bit more realistic.
Yea, well to each their own. But, mentioning this reminds me of
Inafune and Mega Man 9 character design. I think in many ways it's true when he says, 'The previous robot masters would be good models too, but I think if I let them just design whatever they wanted as normal, there’d be a tendency to create designs that are too elaborate and overdone. Naturally this would lead to robot masters that don’t have that “Mega Man” feel.' I think the same could be mostly said about Zelda (not always, of course, but generally).
I think that, since the Wii U, Nintendo has been relying on "Shaders and Filters" to make their games look "HD-ish" wich is not my taste.
I don't have a Wii U, and I haven't jumped on the HD bandwagon. I think that honestly it's not a road Nintendo should go down with rare exception--remakes like Star Fox 64 were very good, but slapping on a coat of HD paint for Wind Waker was unnecessary.
They coul've aimed for something more like A Link Between Wordls style.
Funny you say that because the art style actually reminds me of A Link Between Worlds more than most other Zelda titles.
The art-style of Zelda Link's Awakening could be good for a portable console, like the 3DS, but for Switch I don't think so.
Unless... they have a surprise for us:
"Toy like graphics in handheld mode"
"Put your swith in it's dock for glorious 720 semi-realistic graphics" (something like Zelda 3DS or Majoras 3DS could've been perfect)
That'd be interesting as far as a light/dark mode sort of thing, but I imagine outside of a game gimmick (which would likely be very annoying) that it'd just be a bad idea. And what you say makes me wonder what you're really looking for in "semi-realistic graphics". I've never played Twilight Princess, but various parts of it that I've seen remind me of a bad tron rip-off or some mid-90s or mid-00s (not sure which) idea of cyberspace. Some of that's carried over to Breath of the Wild. It's the sort of thing that will age badly.
Anyways, that's my general opinion about things. If you have some examples of art that you're referring to that'd qualify to you as semi-realistic that you think would age well? Then I'd be interested.
