As cool as realism is, I don't quite understand why so many people act like "ZOMG SELDA NEEDZ REALSOM IT WOOD LOOK SO AWSUM!!!1!ONE". Seriously, it's rather annoying. I mean, come on, no one ever asks for a realistic-looking Mario. Why is Zelda so different? It's a fantasy series, for Christ's sake, and in all reality, going for photorealism would be rather plain and unimaginative for such a franchise. We already live in the real world. Why would you want to limit a series where developers can create a world that could not possibly exist to such an average, ordinary look? I know I've constantly said I expect Zelda Wii U's art style to be a mixture of Twilight Princess and Ocarina of Time 3D's, but that wouldn't quite equate to realism. It would have detailed textures along with vibrant colors, sure, but it would also have a slight glossy look to it, kind of like Assassin's Creed II, just infinitely better. It's just so... "bleh" to limit creativity in a series that's all about creativity. I wish so many people would stop limiting their outlook on the way Zelda should look.
