I absolutely loved the graphics of The Wind Waker. They were fantastic. When I first played the game, I was absolutely blown away by the cel-shading in a way that no other game had since OoT - the only reason OoT did it was because it was the first 3D Zelda game.

I also greatly appreciate TP's graphics. It's too bad that they're so popular, really - a style like that is so much more popular then the Wind Waker's was that I doubt Nintendo will ever get that experimental again, which I find very unfortunate. I would love to see Zelda return to a cartoon style someday. Not quite as chibi as tWW, maybe, but similar.
