But in WW when something that you see is far fetched it looks like it is actually real. In OoT is something is far fetched it doesnt look real at all. Nothing does actually. So I would hate the Zelda game to be in OoT graphics again.

That was exactly my point. Anyway, if nintendo really enhanced and refined the OoT graphics and made everything alot more, rounder let's say. eg, fixed up links hands it would lokk damn brilliant. It's just the lag issue comes into play then.

It wouldn't only look da** brilliant! It would look fu*** BRILLIANT!! But WW graphics are still quite cool making it look like a cartoon.

Personally, at the CURRENT appearance of both formats, I must say I prefer the WW style. But I might be quick to change my opinion when I see the new one.

That's a very nice avatar btw Klutzy.

I always loved that shot.

Anyways, I think that Wind Waker is truer to the original vision of the Legend of Zelda, and that's why I support it. I like both styles, but the OoT style looks really out of place when you think about the origin of the series, and the concept art that was done back in the day. It just FEELS wrong.

Thank you Grey Ninja.

I don't know which one I like better actually until I see the graphics that OoT had but for the Gamecube. It might look a lot better then WW's graphics. But for now I prefer WW's graphics.

At first, after seeing the Spaceworld video of the realistic Link and Ganon battle, I thought Wind Waker's graphical style was better because Link just looked cuter. However, after seeing what Namco could do with Link in Soul Caliber II, I wouldn't mind a realistic Zelda game.

Doesn't Link's design in SC2 look a little creepy, though? His eyes and ears are really stretched out- he looks a lot more elfin than in other Zelda games. I'm gonna have so much fun fighting with him.

ThePerm · « **Reply #34 on:** August 02, 2003, 12:05:59 PM »

well oot is only as realistic as smash bros mele...whci has astounding animation

Klutzy Girl · « **Reply #35 on:** August 02, 2003, 01:19:51 PM »

Well I haven't seen SC2's graphics but for the one's I have seen the WW's graphics are number 1.

mouse_clicker · « **Reply #36 on:** August 02, 2003, 01:55:18 PM »

Here's an old picture of Link in SC2. Here's a slightly newer pic of him in his Goron tunic.

I think it looks way cooler than his SpaceWorld design, but that's just me I guess.

mouse_clicker · « **Reply #38 on:** August 02, 2003, 03:18:18 PM »

I liked his Spaceworld design better, even if it was just a little less detailed. The earing didn't need to be there, but otherwise it was great.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #39 on:** August 02, 2003, 03:23:22 PM »

Well Link had the earring in OoT, so why take it out for the demo?

mouse_clicker · « **Reply #40 on:** August 02, 2003, 03:30:45 PM »

He idd? I don't remember seeing it- I guess the resolution was too low, or it was very small, or something.

Shorty McNostril · « **Reply #41 on:** August 02, 2003, 08:07:12 PM »

If nintendo could pull that quality graphics of in a zelda game without overloading the cube I would rather that then WW. Imagine the fight in WW against gannon with graphics like that.

Klutzy Girl · « **Reply #42 on:** August 03, 2003, 06:07:22 PM »

Yeah I guess so.

Shorty McNostril · « **Reply #43 on:** August 03, 2003, 08:36:28 PM »

That wasn't very enthusiastic.

PIAC · « **Reply #44 on:** August 03, 2003, 09:12:36 PM »

it would also have to fit the storyline and general feel of the game, OoT wouldn't have worked with WW graphics, and WW wouldn't have worked with OoT graphics. it would have made WW way to sterile and lifeless, it would have felt horrible.

Bosrs1 · « **Reply #45 on:** August 03, 2003, 11:27:25 PM »

Personally I'd like to see a return to the more realistic style graphics of OOT and the NGC previews they released a few years ago. The arguement that zelda is a fantasy game doesn't stand up in my mind, because so are things like Lord of the Rings, and yet they have fantasy and realism.

So every fantasy game should be the same? I said that Zelda: Wind Waker was true to the original vision of the game, while OoT was not.

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #47 on:** August 04, 2003, 05:57:07 AM »

Yeah. OoT character models in WW style graphics would be soooooo cool! I used to wish, even after i actually played WW, that the other style of graphics, the OoT style of graphics, would be much better. Now, I see that cel-shading was the way to go, and I wouldn've have it any other way (well, I would, but I wouldn't WANT it any other way). A mix tween the two would be KnowsNothing heaven.

Goody-bye!

Klutzy Girl · « **Reply #48 on:** August 04, 2003, 08:56:19 AM »

Wouldn't a mix between the two though look kinda funny?

"So every fantasy game should be the same? I said that Zelda: Wind Waker was true to the original vision of the game, while OoT was not."

WHAT FRIGGIN "ORIGINAL VISION"?!?!? Sorry about that, but I'm getting really tired of people trying to claim that they know what Zelda's "original vision" was. There's 3 fundamental problems with that: 1, the first game was a bunch of pixels- how *anyone* can glean what it's vision was is beyond me. 2, how can *anyone* claim to know what Miyamoto wants out of the series? For all we know the Oracles are closest to what he wants and Wind Waker is farthest. None of us have even been in the same room as the man, much less in his mind. And 3, even Miyamoto has said they're constantly reinventing Zelda- there IS no "original vision" for the game because it's constantly transcending styles. It was more serious in OoT and it was more comical in Wind Waker- neither is closer to the "original vision" because the "original vision" doesn't exist. The only vision for Zelda is the vision of the future, where the series is going to go *next*, not where it's been. Really, where was all this heartfelt sentiment that OoT was departing from the "original vision" when it was released? All I heard then was immense praise- in fact, that's still pretty much all I hear. If there is any "original vision" to Zelda, I'd say OoT's the one that tapped into since it's not only considered by most to be the best in the series, but the best game *ever*.

If Wind Waker fits what *you* think the series means, then that's great, but don't try to act like you know what the series DOES mean.
