Why did millennial gamers believe Wind Waker looked radically different from Ocarina of Time? It's not like OOT was a Frank Frazetta painting or anything; both games were clearly stupid whimsy for very small children and neither was particularly dark or realistic.
Based, zelda needed to be dark yes fuck kid games mature gamers are better
>>12577083I bought OoT in 1998 and it was my favorite game for a few years, so I should prefer it over Wind Waker but I don't really. WW has some flaws but is overall more fun to play.
Zelda was always dark and mature. I don't know what you're talking about.
>>12577083>Why did millennial gamers believe Wind Waker looked radically different from Ocarina of Time?Why are you fucking blind? The game barely looked like the official illustrations and had very sombre lighting.
OOT is fairytale illustrationsTWW was calarts
The people who complained about WW's art direction mainly fell into two camps:- People who had only played OoT and assumed all Zelda games were like that (they weren't)- Kids trying to look "mature" (you aren't)Everyone else didn't really care.
>>1257710380s dark fantasy at its finest
For me, it's german Link's awakening art
>>12577083Because the Spaceworld Demo was seen as what the OoT art style would obviously look like on GCN and TWW looked radically different from that.
>>12577345This. It could have looked like literal shit and no one would have cared if they hadn't shown off something they never intended to release and gave us an honest preview of the actual game instead.
we were ROBBED!!!!!!
>>12577408Sorry, but they would have never gotten it to look THAT nice. A fighting game is just your guy, some other guy and an arena. A traditional 3D Zelda game has to be able to render Link, a dozen enemies, interactive objects and the overworld. There's probably more graphics in SCII Link's boot than the entirety of Outset Island.
>>12577414But RE4 guys told me GameCube is the most powerful console ever made!
>>12577083Because of the CG tech demo for the GameCube , people were expecting the next Zelda title to look like that.WW also had a very different look compared to your average game with its cel shaded look and since back then being edgy and gritty was all the rage, plenty of fags had a knee-jerk reaction.
>>12577083LoZ was primitiveLoZ2 was dark and needed a lanternOoT was dark and had an adult world you ruinedM'sM was dark in a doomed worldWW cell shading made it look like the game lacked textures in a bright tropical ocean (of a flooded world)TP was dark in a cursed world
>>12578763>OoT was darkMaybe compared to Kirby
