At this point in time, do you prefer realistic graphics or Cel Shading?

Always liked realistic graphics, always will.

Personally I have a balanced preference to the graphics. I adore cel-shaded but I also am 100% behind realistic. Either one I am happy.

SS mix definitly, otherwise if it gets way too realistic we would be playing Skyrim...
I think Zelda needs to keep the fantasy, colorful world. Real world is kidn of boring I guess.

I loved the japanese/asian influeces in SS, kind of like Hayao Miyasaki, I hope they keep the same line.

Realistic Graphics would be the best, so thats what I voted; however, the mood of the game should determine which graphics are to be used. i.e. rebooted Majora's Mask=realistic graphics, third wind waker game= cell shaded

Super realistic graphics with a "anime touch" (like the E3 WiiU Zelda Demo) for the games in which Link is grown up (for example, Twilight Princess) and perfected cel-shading for the games in which Link is still a kid (the Wind Waker, Phantom Hourglas, Spirit Tracks...)

I don't see why they shouldn't strive for Skyrim graphics; it would be rather ideal for Zelda, and by no means depart from its original vision. Not a cheesy knock-off either, a very serious and epic ideal. All it really really needs is to keep the Ocarina of Time essentials. Explorability, innovative quests, and most importantly: that iconic atmosphere and charm. Don't just pull a TP on the quests and atmosphere just because you're giving us decent graphics. Get Zelda right (with real care, not show, towards this unique world), make modern additions to gameplay, + pull off amazing graphics? You will have a perfect game.

It's not enough for designers to want it to be amazing (more than ever before!) You need people who know what they're doing, who really understand what made Zelda remarkable and different from other games. Every little thing.

Also people's comments about remakes... no anime, more traditional oriental and old age... REMAKE LINK TO THE PAST... or something that resembles that style of mature darkness and fantasy (not try-hard darkness like twilight and black spirits), a real full-fledged romanticism... 3D and completely redone new. Really think about how you're going to approach this game, designers. You're dealing with something that's already a masterpiece. You have to absolutely capture its atmosphere in near real life graphics while pulling us deep into it like we can't escape.

It's not really enough to have real life graphics; the whole flow of the game needs to be real-time yet constantly feel like you're adventuring solo. That means no limits in exploration this time. Cut way down on cut scenes, story, all the cued show. Make it hearty. A full project that is almost anti-show and better than it looks, if you know what I mean.

My favourite game is Spirit Tracks, and the graphics worked excellent there, although my favourite graphics of all the games would be Twilight Princess. I just loved the dark feel of the game, it was my favourite game atmosphere of all of them.
