I don't usually harp about the graphics in games because there are more important things to worry about but I draw the line at cel shading. Cel shading has to be the gayest thing I have ever seen. When I first saw it (in the new Zelda screens in fact) I thought it was gay but it really hit home when I saw shots of the the game series that started all this nonsenese  over at Xbox.com: Jet Set Audio. Out of the three games I seen that use it the only one it really works in is Sheep Dog 'n Wolf but in SDnW the whole point is to drop you into a Warner Brothers cartoon so it can sort of be forgiven.

Those screenshots were not sopposed to be released. Mr. Miyamoto is trying out different game designs. I read in several articles that he assures that this is definately going to be the final version of the game. And if it is, hey graphics don't make the game. Music, gameplay, and storyline are important. Like Chrono Trigger (the greatest game of all time)

Look, I realise that historically Zelda was geared at children but to have that so "in my face" by the use of cel shading just irks me, I don't know why.

of I've seen videos of that new zelda... it's plain ugly imho, I even prefer the old gameboy version...

the best gfx improvment for me? the old gouraud shading

Link looks like he did in the first Zelda game (the game is even called "Legend of Zelda").But I want both graphical and gameplay progress.

The graphic seems to be targeded (sp) to a younger audience. But at the same time the graphics look like old adventure games (which I love) like Day of the tentacle and Sam 'n Max.

IGN has more screenshots and a movie. The movie looks like it was a real animated movie. http://cube.ign.com/previews/17012.html

You do realize I will have to kill every last one of you for these blasphemous comments, right?

After my initial shock/horror/revulsion, I began to say to myself, hey that actually looks a lot like Link To The Past (my favourite Zelda so far) in 3D! Mint!

Now I look forward to Zelda GC in quivering anticipation.

Also, a question for those 'Nintendo/Zelda is for kiddies' types out there in computer land: how many little chilluns do you know who could see Ocarina or Majora all the way through? And do you really think Shigsy had five year olds in mind when writing in the really surreal bits of Majora? Do small western children appreciate japanese weirdness? Perhaps...

Sorry for my ranting, but you've touched a very sensitive subject here. How may of you knew that Shigsy was quoted as saying that =N= will also be developing another Zelda looking like the original Spaceworld trailer, the so-called 'grown-up' look? Facts, people...

And finally:

GAMECUBE ALL THE WAY, BABY!!!!!!!

they use cell shading because they carn't draw good skinz! it makes up for lazy modelers. (He he he)

[Fineus]

Hmm, while it's true that gameplay is important... graphics must matter - or else we'd all be playing in wireframe 3D still  

[diamondgeezer]

But have you seen those graphics? It's like the finest quality Disney cartoon - but it's fully interactive!!!

Actually A Link to the Past looks better than that... that... THING!

If you can play Metal Gear Solid 2 and Halo on it, I'll be happy.

Give me ISs or give me death...  

(actually, i know it's also on PS2, but I'm hoping the GC and XBox will at least force the price down)

[Vertigo1]

Bah!  The graphics on the SNES Zelda games were more appealing...and that was back when gameplay meant everything and graphics didn't matter all that much. (mainly because the graphics on the SNES sucked)

You can say that again... and when you have Bleem, nothing can stop you!   Except for platforms which use cartridges... bah.
