I still can't believe that Nintendo would take one of their most iconic characters and shrink them down into a simplified stubby SD low-detail caricature with beady flat black eyes to conform to an arts and crafts theme.

The arts and crafts aspect didn't even enter until the 3DS game. Damn shame either way.
What went so wrong?
Paper Mario was good though.
I love God.
It looks exactly how it should
You fell for OP's epic trick. Get owned
>GUYS WE WANT DARK REALITIC ZELDA
>wtf is this tryhard edgy bullshit
2D ZELDA WAS A LIMITATION
FUCK ANYONE WHO LIKES THAT BABY SHIT
Paper Mario is not a remake that could have look better than plastic toys. Is it's own IP. It also doesn't look like shit until the 3DS.
Fuck you, OP.
No, I was actually talking about Paper Mario. Like I said, the emphasis on arts and crafts didn't kick in until the 3DS game.
Terada drew for strategy guides, he had zero influence or input on the actual game. Link's Awakening was always bright, colourful, and cartoony in all of its official art. Have you seen Terada's Secret of Mana player's guide artwork? He draws the main character like he's Conan the Barbarian.
I like SD though
Its cute! I'll be giving them my money for sure :)
I fail to see how this Zelda is supposed to have an arts and craft theme. Literally nothing implies that. It's not a bad artstyle, just wrong for Zelda.
It's a constant of every new Zelda game since Wind Waker that the artstyle will always be shat on. LAr is no exception.
Sure.
But don't make the game look like an indie Unity game.
Most people loved that and it was critically acclaimed though. Series doesn’t always need to be a dark, but variety in tone is nice.
Don't lump Paper Mario in with that crap. The 64 game was known as Mario Story until those pricks Tanabe and Miyamoto intervened.
I mean, really, what's wrong with this exactly? Zelda has always had a wide array of different tones and art styles, and something like this toyetic style probably suits Link's Awakening way more than something like this: I mean, hypothetically, let's say that they DID release a remake of Link's Awakening that looks exactly like that art. Wouldn't it be absurdly jarring to have that Link in that world take a fucking Chain Chomp on a walk or stomping on Goombas? It's like you guys want this gritty, realistic version of Link's Awakening, but failed to take into account that there's a hippo posing for a nude photo and a fucking telephone in the middle of town. Sure, on one hand, I can actually see the appeal of such a bizarre, surreal juxtaposition of a realistic gritty art style and weird, stupid cartoony elements, and one could even argue that this fits the concept of a dream-world that Link's in, but somehow I seriously doubt that's what the devs were going for. And I think there's a reason that this artist deliberately left out all the sheer amount of goofy, cartoony elements in his illustrations.
Isn't a variety of tone exactly what we've been getting since Wind Waker? This toyetic art style is nothing like any of the Zelda games that came before it.
Shit, I love 3D Dot Game Heroes
OP, your fake-out was too strong! People are now focusing on Zelda instead of Paper Mario.
I don't think the problem is that its a new art-style, I think that problem is that it is just too phone-gamey at this point.
That's a retarded argument. So now certain art styles and aesthetics are off-limits in console games because of some arbitrary standard of whether something looks like a "phone game", whatever the fuck that's supposed to mean?
Fuck you I like it
Im completely not interested in animal crossing art style remake of links awakening.
A botw style remake of any top down zelda wouldve been amazing.
Hes basically a goddamn funko pop
>it is just too phone-gamey at this point.
Ok. I'll bite.
The fuck do you mean by this? Are you saying all games with a simple style is automatically a phone game? Because that's what it sounds like.
