WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!
say what you will but this artstyle still holds up, meanwhile TP looks like stale dog piss
>>747529174They saw into the future. WW came out a year before the original Teen Titans cartoon came out and popularized this specific anime style.
That fans are niggers and should never be listened to
>>747529174Hacknuma wasn't thinking
>>747529174timeless art style
I still remember the days of browsing GameF A Q s and everyone calling it 'Celda'.
>>747529174Aonuma admitted it in an interview. His design style is literally "take what everyone expects and do as opposite as possible." He's like the FF developers where it's change for the sake of change. It's also telling he had to hide it from Miyamoto until they were so late in development it would be hard to change it.
>>747529174Another instance of rabid western cute aggression leaving the Japanese baffled.
>>747529174Couldn't he have done this after that Spaceworld like Zelda came out?
>>747530419The game bombed hard in Japan, with the majority of the sales coming from the West?
>>747530424There was no Spaceworld Zelda, it was a tech demo. It would be like complaining Super Mario 128 turned into Pikmin, or that the Final Fantasy 6 PSX tech demo turned into FF7, which nobody did. Only Zeldatards were dumb enough not to understand what tech demos are.
>>747530424You have a point. The big reason WW initially had such a negative reaction was because people felt blueballed by the Spaceworld demo which never actually got a game, and also the original trailer for WW was genuinely unflattering. WW would have gotten a much more positive reception if Nintendo didn't do such a bad job of revealing it.
