WW-Wii U Should They Do Another Cel Shaded Game?

Keckstand · Dec 23, 2011

I know that many people didn't really like the cel shaded graphics of Wind Waker. Personally, I think that the cel shading looked really cool. Does anybody think they should have another cel shaded game that tells a story somewhere else on the "adult timeline" (like a prequel to wind waker or maybe something between PH and ST)?

Why not, I always liked the graphics in those games. My request though is that it doesn't require a method of transport to get around. It was fine in those games but I'd like to see a cel shaded game in which you could run around the overworld and maybe ride Epona. This may be possible as a prequel to Wind Waker before the world flooded.

I'm also starting to feel like cel shading might be the best graphical style for Zelda games.

I very much think they should do another cel-shaded game. They are the only ones that I truly enjoy looking at.

i wouldn't mind if they did a new cell shaded game but i prefer the more realistic look, like TP had

I personally would rather they did not, at least not like it was done in the Wind Waker. I detest the swollen heads and eyes of some of the characters(link especially). I don't dislike all cell shaded styles though. I particularly enjoyed Borderlands cell shaded art style, the people in that game still looked like people. That said. I prefer more detailed art styles such as the one featured in the E3 tech demo and also in games such as Dead Island and Gears of War. I would much rather Zelda went down that route.

I would rather have a SS theme but I still loved the WW graphics

When I first saw videos of WW graphics, I wasn't a fan, but once I started playing the game, I grew to like them so I wouldn't mind another game with cel shaded graphics.

I would love to see another cel-shaded Zelda game. I love the style. Wind Waker looks absolutely beautiful with cel-shaded graphics. It really pops out, and pulls you into the game's world. I recently saw the video of the Majora's Mask texture mod featured on the site's front page, and it looked really good. Skyward Sword was cel-shaded too, wasn't it? I absolutely love Skyward Sword's style as well. Both SS and WW are proof that cel-shading looks good and works well. I think it's a format Nintendo should stick with. It really suits the fantasy feel of the Zelda world.

I would like to see cel-shading integrated into another Zelda in some way.

I think Skyward Sword did an ok job with the cel-shading, but Wind Waker still looks a little better in my opinion. I like them both, but if another Zelda game had to be cel-shaded, I would like it to be in Wind Waker fashion, not Skyward Sword.
