windwaker graphics upsetting or not?

good graphics or not? i said bad because they were to cartoony! the game was mostly good but the graphics were terrible!

The graphics weren't bad.... from a technical point of view, they were awesome and very well done

However, they just don't fit the franchise. Seeing Link jumping like some tard and characters moving weird just doesn't seem right. Dark themes fit Zelda waaaay more than that. Personally, I'm glad they dropped the idea(I hope...)

The graphics in my eye's made the game fun as it was.

I thought the windwaker graphics were fun and refreshing. I mean come on, it's such a LoZ title that very quickly you almost forget all abou the fact that it's done in cartoon style.

The simple beauty of cell-shading was just one of the things that made The Wind Waker such a fun, unique and original game. I like them, I just prefer TP's since they are more professional.

So that's positive.

The exact opposite happened to me. I wanted to forget about the graphics by thinking it was going to be an excellent, long and flawless Zelda game, but I was so wrong that it became even worse. It was so painfully easy, short and full of flaws that I couldn't forget about the graphics -.-

Because of the time the GC being 'New out' and all that. They were outstanding graphics, May not have been the tradionally Zelda graphics you get but, The graphics on any GC game blew me away

TWW's graphics are, IMO, beautiful. I really, really don't understand why everyone had a problem with them. Some of the character models may have looked a bit off, but do you really think Gohma, or Molgera, or the sailing, or the Ganondorf fight would've looked as good in realistic graphics?

Well, I don't think the question should be if the graphics are good or bad. I think it should be whether you like them or not. The graphics aren't bad, they're just am entirely different style. The graphics got many polar responces, but I like them.

It ain't the graphics, it's the art style. The graphics were very good. The art style sucked.

In my opinion, the graphics for Wind Waker were brilliant. The vibrant colors were, as said, refreshing. A different take on Zelda that I thoroughly enjoyed.

the graphics sucked! it was all to cartoony!

I liked TWW's style, although I liked TP's style more. But it was a refreshing look.

I voted good. WW has the best cartoony graphics I've seen.

The WW graphics shall forever be horrible.

Wind Waker sucks.
^ That thread starts out with a simply wonderful explaination of why.

Zelda is a fighting game. The cartoony thing basically set it up to be meant for itty bitty little kids. It looks baby-ish. A cell-shading style looks wonderful in things like animal crossing, but in game like Zelda it's simply horrible. The entire game had way to bright of a color scheme. Of course, the way the graphics look does fit the game, seeing as how WW was pathetically easy.

By comparison even the graphics of LA are better in my mind. Of course, that's because WW has the worst graphics in the series. The only game which might have worse graphics then WW would be TP, simply because all the faces and people are demented and mis-shapen. Compared to other GC games, you can tell that the graphics could have been much, much, much better. Look at Resident Evil 4. The people look like people, the game has a darker, more sinister sort of feel, and might be a wonderfully fun new look for Zelda.

Overall, cartoony graphics for a fighting game is absolutely a horrid idea. The Wind Waker was a kiddy game, and the graphics basically make it look baby-ish. Down with WW!

EDIT: Also, now thinking back, remember how stupid Link looks in the game. He has a giant head. His eyes are huge. His arms are freakishly long. His legs are short and stubby. He looks basically horrible. At least in the other games they made him the right size and attempted to make him look human.

EDIT TWO: Well, it's hard to just point at WW and say it's horrible without comparing it to anything.

^ Clicky! Then say that the Wind Waker has wonderful graphics.

I guess this is going to turn to a WW graphics vs normal graphics thread...

The thing is they were going for that kind of look. TWW was meant to be different from the darkness and seriousness of most zelda games and be more about fun. I liked it this way because it was original and most zelda games are repetitive of each other so it's nice to see something new.

Sometimes new doesn't work
