Why was the art direction in alttp so fucking bad? Link doesn't resembles his official art at all
And the HUD uses so few colors, along with such simple shapes, that it looks like from a mid-lifespan NES game.
>>12562672Something about probably looking more defined on CRTVs, but surely you can get better results if you swap the belt, hair and hat-rim colors around?
>>12562672Because pink haired Link (male) is cute.
>>12562793dont forget bunny link
He already had pink hair before in the 80s.
All of the early first party SNES games look like shit.
>>12562672Wind Waker's art direction is shit, fucking gorilla proportioned bobbleheads.
>>12562710God the discourse on how games look on CRTs has gotten completely out of control. I have seen many, many people claim that Links hair in LttP magically turns brown on a CRT. It's complete bullshit, you can easily do a google image search and see hundreds of pictures of the game on a CRT and his hair looks exactly the same. Yes, retro games on CRTs can help smooth the image in a pleasing way and help blend certain colors together more, but it doesn't just miraculously make everything look completely different.
>>12562672Just a long-game practical joke to upset idiots 25 years later. Petty but still impressive ngl
>>12564593Absolute retard
>>12564761I like the SNES but I have to agree. Mario World, LttP and F-Zero look incredibly basic and don't use very many colors. I don't think they look horrible but they could have and should have done a lot better. Pilotwings is really the only decent looking one of the early games.
>>12564768I've always thought SMB3 already looked dull and boring but maybe they were going for that clean look in all of these? SM64 also looked really simple, clean and basic but it works.
>>12564776SMB3 at least looks like a proper NES game. SMW looks like a NES game that had to be ported to the SNES in 2 months.
>>12564776SMB3 isn't the absolute best looking NES title but it still looks relatively good compared to the average NES game
>>12562681It looks great.>>12564768>Pilotwings is really the only decent looking one of the early games.This is an amazingly bad opinion. Pilotwings of all things!
>>12562672I always just thought it was part of his hat as a kid
>>12564602That's why the cheerleader outfit was needed.
>>1256460799% of the time when someone is yelling at you about CRT color accuracy and subpixel shading, they don't actually own one.
>>12562681>And the HUD uses so few colors,How many colors was it supposed to use, idiot? You have to keep the color composition consistent to deliver information effectively and not make it distracting while playing.
