Yet another of the "OoT is the best Zelda game of all time" people. Zelda 2 was not as good as TWW.

This is not the kind of advance in technology that a Zelda game should show for itself.
I personally am so ashamed of this Zelda game that I refuse to acknowledge it as one of the series, along with Seasons, Ages, and to an extent Majora's Mask.
Why is TWW such a bad game? The characters actually show expression. they have a greater range of motion. So if you don't like the first glance of how a game looks it is a failure? Don't judge a book by its cover I say.

People always say that graphics don't matter, it's the story and gameplay, but deep down, people are affected by their visual first impressions and will base at least part of their opinion on that first impression, consciously or otherwise.

I welcome replies and I really would like to know seriously why Nintendo decided to take this terrible new direction for Zelda. I appreciate your time.
Ok first, I'm a fan of all the zelda games. I happen to like the graphics in TWW and TP. You obviously based all of your opinion on the graphics in TWW.
Why don't you beat all of the games first before posting your opinions, ok?
