My thing is I dont understand how toon Link is so popular??? I honestly played the game for a bit and I just couldnt get into it with something that looked like South Park. I mean everyone says oh toon Link has so much personality. SO did the Link in OoT, If someone can honestly tell me why toon Link and Wind Waker graphics are so great compared to say OoT or Twilight Princess tha I can so ah ok than. But as much as I get criticized for hating the Toon graphics and how my opinions dont make sense well peoples counter to me doesnt make sense. As I said I get oh he has more personality and blah blah blah. Just give me a logical reason as to why Toon Link and Toon graphics are better.

because his facial expressions were relevent to things going around you, as an example.

and saying it is like South Park is stupid and I feel dumber for reading it

Tell me they dont have the same style

Because both of them are totally paper cut outs right? Saying any character from South Park looks like Toon Link is like saying every cartoon character looks like Toon Link. And beyond that what part of Toon Link do you seize to understand? Toon = Cartoon.

@Tasuki
They don't have the same art style.


Seriously, they're not. How can you say they're the same style? Look at the eyes. Look at their facial expressions. Plus, Link has shading. That's why the art style is called cell shading. South Park doesn't have that.

Whatever. to me Toon Link still looks like crap and like something that stepped out of South Park. Whatever I guess there is just no logical answer as why toon link is better and so popular.

Whats disappointing is how many copies that game sold and how popular it was. It just proves that you can slap the LoZ name on something and people will buy it up no matter how bad the graphics story etc. is.

Logical answer? How about "people have different opinions from you"? Really, I'm not going to go into depth with regards to how Wind Waker arguably had a deeper story than any Zelda before it (save MM perhaps), but everything you're saying is based on your opinion yet you continuously refer to it as bad and crap and question why people see appeal in something you don't.

With regards to graphics, it has "better" graphics than virtually any game in the series, even Twilight Princess. By this, I don't mean it is more visually appealing than the art styles of the other games, but its art style allows it to look impressive despite however old it becomes. Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess will still be functional and perhaps "good looking", but Wind Waker uses a graphical style with a level of simplicity and polish that will survive aging, no matter what, similar to clean looking 2D games. People will forever see ugly textures in TP and OoT, but this is countered by WW's art.
Note: The perception of the visuals in any game can cause the viewer to not like the game, so this is a universal issue.

tl;dr: People liking something you don't doesn't mean your opinion is superior, as you implied.

South Park..........? Anyways I was one who loved that art from the beginning. Since I didn't get on the internet back then, I knew what I liked.

Lol, I know, right? I didn't know the graphics caused such an outrage when it first came out until I started using the internet for gaming sites.

South park Characters don't even have legs either. Well the kids don't anyway.
Also their eyes are rounder. Not like toon Links.
I wasn't bothered at all by the style of toon Link.
As soon as I spent an hour with Windwaker all my fears were laid to rest.
It became apparent this game I was playing still felt like Zelda.
Regardless of Link's appearance.

Maybe it's because his games are awesome? And he's probably the most popular Link design? What other Link has seen 5 games and counting? Wind Waker, Minish Cap, Four Swords, Phantom Hourglass, and Spirit Tracks. Even made a cameo in Brawl. Wind Waker wasn't supposed to be awesome. At all. And it turned around and said "Hey I'm Game of the ****ing Year and possibly one of the best games of all time."

Why is Mario loved by millions? Because Mario has a lot of good games. Why is Toon Link loved by millions? Because he has a lot of good games.

That's why I'm Link79.
I love all forms of Link.
There's isn't a Zelda game I didn't like. (Unless it's the CDI one anyway.)

They want to distance Skyward Sword from the mediocrity of Twilight Princess and relate it to the Zelda game that is "regarded by many as the best."

Nintendo: "OoT... SS is a OoT prequel even though we don't really care about this bull Zelda timeline, OoT, people pulled out of their behinds and that they think is 'official' in some way so sure, it's a prequel to OoT. Did I mention OoT? Give us your money. OoT."

They have my money come November.

That's all your opinion of course. For your information Twilight Princess was Game of the Year 2006 by most gamers/reviewers while leaving it's competition in the dust. God of War 2, Gears of War, Oblivion, etc. And also helped the Wii get an enormous jump start.

Anyone who can honestly say they hated Twilight Princess just plain isn't a fan.
Same goes for Windwaker for that matter.

Twilight Princess was my least favorite because I kept getting lost, and Link felt stiff, but I still wouldn't ever say I hate it.
Windwaker is awesome. n_n
