I don't get why they didn't just go with the Wind Waker style; everyone agrees it is the best Zelda has ever looked.
Why not just use this art direction:
It looks way better!
Thank god for no WW Toon Link. He looked great on the GC, but the bare bones representation of that art style didn't translate well over to the handheld at all.
They were bad games, but they didn't LOOK bad.
Wow. Shitty art direction and I'm so sick of 2.5D. Make it 2D. 2D Sprites would look awesome on the 3DS and the 3D could be awesome.
UGH.
Looks like Jimmy Neutron.
lol, I can't... I mean what in the fuck
Reggie said:The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, was originally released for the Super NES in 1992. Those of you who've heard me speak about this game know that it's my favorite of all time. More than 20 years after this landmark game was originally released, we're now developing a new game that will take place in the same game world, for Nintendo 3DS.
What our developers want to achieve in this new Zelda game, is to reinvigorate the flat 2D world of The Link to the Past with a sense of height and volume using the three-dimensional display of Nintendo 3DS. With it, it's easier to differentiate levels in the environment, and our developers can utilize height differences in dungeons as a puzzle-solving mechanic.
While this game is set in the world of A Link to the Past, it features an original storyline and entirely new dungeons. Also in this game, Link can become a drawing and move within walls. By moving in the walls, your viewpoint changes, and you can see the connections within the area that you couldn't observe before. This new mechanic will play a key role in solving puzzles in the game.
Because we want you to experience the full game world with the full 3D visuals our developers have created, we've prepared a 3D video you can download from the Nintendo eShop shortly after this video concludes. We'll be launching this exciting new game in the Zelda series for Nintendo 3DS this holiday season.

Now compare it to the cheap 3d look:
I know which I would prefer.
This looks bland and cheap.

If this is their big Christmas game, I'm selling my system.
It's 2013. There's no excuse for making 2D Zelda other than laziness.

I didn't like LTTP. What's your problem with that?

This better be an e-shop game.
Err.. what? Where does this myth come from?
Here's the replies from the first page of the Skyward Sword announcement thread:
Internet blowing up, E3 gonna be huuuge.
You do know that it is the Nintendo 3DS right?
beaten
Really?
Good luck with that.

All this talk about the art? Who the fuck cares.
It's a goddamn top down Zelda.
Finally.
Las gordas deberian tener prohibido sounds like fucking GOTY.
Well I like the way it looks...
Also, it's actually called Link to the Past 2.
New The Legend of Zelda...
Bland art and cheap-looking graphics.

Wow, you're so angry. Deep breaths.
