Why was WW's graphics so hated? 2014-04-15 17:48:43


I've never been able to find a proper explanation for this, other than "LOOK AT THEM! THEY SUCK"


I got Tom to make a sig, bow down to me.

Wind Waker, should have put that in my post.

I always liked the look of Windwaker. I just got really sick of all the sailing.

I liked the graphic style. I suppose the people who hated Wind Waker also hated Twilight Princess.

I'm guessing it was too light-hearted & cartoonish in contrast to the more serious nature of its N64 predecessors? The vocal majority hasn't bagged on WW's graphics since Twilight Princess came out. I will say, however, that the HD remake ruined the art style imo.

Wind Waker and Wind Waker HD are absolutely beautiful.

Because back when Nintendo announced a new LoZ title for the gamecube, they showed something similar to Ocarina of Time, and people were butthurt that it didn't look like that.

Wrong thread, boyo. ;)

I remember disliking them too at the time. As someone already said, I think it was mainly because of the switch towards a cartoon-ish / kiddy style of graphics when everybody was expecting upgraded OoT/MM graphics.

Windwaker felt a lot more kid-friendly in general in comparison to the N64 titles, and perhaps that ticked off many fans of OoT/MM who were hitting puberty by the time Windwaker came out (like I was).

By yeah, it's become apparent that cel-shaded graphics actually age quite well and now many people seem to have fallen in love with that style.

The vocal minority. Most poeple consider Windwakers graphics to be timeless, and they've aged incredibly well.


illicit makes a damn good signature.

I agree with you. The only problem with WW was too much sailing, at least at the start of the game.

The sailing is awesome, the music, and what you can stumble across is what makes it great for me.
