At the very least It should look like Infinity Nikki. These are PS4 graphics, so Nintendo has no excuse this time. The "non-realistic" graphics excuse doesn't fly with the current tech available.

Not too bothered about the visuals but the lack of proper dungeons and the massive downgrade in music are disappointing. Two of the best things about zelda stripped out from the new games.

Oh for sure. Proper level design and dungeons that aren't in LoZ: Fallout Edition is a big detractor. Especially in most cases where anything can be overcome by Ultrahand or Rocket Shield.

Dude I remember the meltdowns. People wanted his head on a fucking stick big time

Doesn't contest anything in my post. It's overrated.

And it's actually a 95 on MC, which (unbelievably) makes it the second worst reviewed 3D Zelda game with only Skyward Sword getting a lower score, 93.

Let me guess, couldn't get past the dungeons?



The GameCube version (main one) is a 96.

Even this could work.

Yeah but only if they get rid of the atrocious bloom.

I love me a well implemented bloom effect.

Revisiting TP recently, I thought its look didn't hold up very well. A lot of the character designs are downright ugly, and not just the wonky humans but a lot of the monsters too. Rarely has Hyrule looked so bleak and unappealing to me. Not every fantasy game has to look like Lord of the Rings or Skyrim.

I thought BotW was beautiful but I at least agree that it's time for a shake-up.

Pretty strange remark. I was 14 when the game came out and completed it quite easily, I didn't think TP had a reputation for being a difficult game.

16 GC reviews vs 73 on Wii

No way. The bloom gives it its character and is part of the aesthetic.

The water and sky temples are notorious for being confusing and difficult, to complete.

Arbiter's Grounds is probably my favorite in TP. And has a hype boss.

 

[Hero_Select]

No. Not agreed.

I'm not against a return to a more realistic style but Zelda doesnt "NEED" to be that.

 

[Buggy Loop]

EEeeeewwww

I would take Zelda aiming for Studio Ghibli artstyle over all your realism. If anything they need to lean into it even more heavily since BOTW and hopefully tech gets them near drawn art style.

Twilight Princess is a bad game.

OP should have just come out and done some pre-2010s thing and said Wind Waker was for faggots or something and I'd have respected him more.

Everyone wants this proper gritty, dark looking Zelda where Link wipes his ass with the Master Sword. I'm good.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

Zelda games could be chibi cel shaded bloom up visual nightmares and if they had actual dungeons, it'd be an improvement.

 

[Griffon]

I absolutely agree with you OP.
Wind Waker was a betrayal and it still is.

But with the upcoming movie being live action, hope is restored. It seems Miyamoto not going for the an animated looks means he still understands what Zelda should look and feel like.

Wind Waker was cool (as a one time thing), it received a lot of backlash at the time due to the art style.

However, BoTW and ToTK don't have any excuse.

The power is more than enough to make this

a reality.

A 96 Metacritic is absolutely horrible.
