Well, the vibe that I'm getting is that they're trying to bridge the gap between it and the rest of the series. I'm more interested in the war between the fish people than anything else
Where do I start?
I'm still holding out hope that it isn't too open. Something like A Link Between Worlds where the world is pretty open, but there are still traditional dungeons.
It's too toyetic. I can't get immersed in a game, personally, when I look at the characters and see toys rather than people. Even cartoony art styles are more immersive.
It has been a while since I played Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks, but I wonder if those games could be released together as a single package. Obviously you couldn't stitch the worlds together, but I feel as if they could be complimentary and offer some ways to carry items over from one to the other.
I haven't played either, but I don’t think they could be released on anything other than a DS variant or maybe the WiiU, since they were built around the touchscreen. I wonder how emulators deal with that issue, maybe there's a solution I'm not aware of.
The classic green, no contest. Link wearing a green tunic has been a staple of the series from day one, and him wearing blue just looks wrong. I'm still a bit baffled that there isn't a real option for the classic outfit in BotW, apart from the TloZ-inspired outfit you can unlock after beating all the shrines.
The blue tunic just felt kind of ugly with the beige pants. Of course, they also did the same with the classic outfit, but it managed to get the colors to blend in together, at least
I still maintain that Ocarina of Time design was the best iteration. Most people seem to prefer Twilight Princess but to me, the overly edgy grimdark appearance of the game coupled with the muddy graphics makes it look out of place.
There's a few others, like Rusl's wife, Telma, that knight chick and, oddly enough, this games version of Tingle. But overall you're right, TP is an odd-looking game, even more so than Majora's Mask.
TP's biggest sin was coming out right in the Real Is Brown™ era of games. The fact that one of the first things you see is Rusl makes a terrible first impression as far as character design goes.
This was always the case, but it came out when the most vocal Zelda fans were entering that age where everything had to be darker and edgier (despite WW’s art style allowing it to have what is still explicitly the darkest Zelda story).
It didn't have to be dark and edgy, it just didn't have to look like a game made for creeps who jerk off to anime.
The criticism was literally “it looks like it was made for kids,” and that it didn’t resemble the Zelda Dolphin demo. Your assessment of its artstyle is hyperbolic, since it is easily one of the most asexual Zelda games ever.
This post makes you sound like you jerk off to anime.
