The visual identity of looking blocky and blurry with crappy framerate.
The N64 version does not hold up. I don't understand the defense.

Next 3D Zelda should look like this

Every game should IMO. They look so much better than the realism/realistic approach. A solid art style is so much better.
There's a whole 3D remake of the game and emulators that solve the framerate issues. That blocky version looks significantly better than this sterile UE concept.
Sure it is but remember BotW is a WiiU game. If BotW was developed for the Switch it might look more like the Smash representation.
Even this, while evoking a hint of realism, look infinitely better than the OPs video.
Art direction > art style.
And realistic games as of late have had impressively good and unique art directions just as much as any game with the most stylized art style.
I really came in expecting something unique and beautiful; like cartoon, anime, or any painterly art.
It's an amateur, extremely small scale production so I'm not going to shit on on this person for not being able to produce something in a fully realized, coherent art style by their lonesome as a hobby. I'm assuming there's some premade assets like the foliage but they've done a lot of work to get it to this point (there's years of videos on their channel leading up to this). In the hands of a full dev team I'm quite confident that UE4 could take a similar style (i.e. not cell shaded but still stylized) and make it look absolutely phenomenal for a Zelda game.
I knew before clicking this was another ugly CryZENx video, but you had to bait us in anyway by not embedding it.
I honestly don't understand how you think that looks good, it's like people that have never seen a UE4 game before and just like the shiny, plasticy look of the engine. This should be used as an example of how a Zelda game should definitely not look.
The next Zelda in my mind uses the RDR2 engine and has a similar budget to portray Hyrule, that's how I imagine the OoT Remake in my mind.
The 3DS version? Yeah that was much better than on N64, first time I played through the game, the awful N64 version gets zero love from me.
But check the other videos as well, they're older but I really like Hyrule Field, the moving grass and sunshine is nice, night and day difference from Nintendo's versions.
That said, I love BOTW, it's my #1 best game of all time. But I don't see a problem if they try wandering away from the comics style as long as they don't go for character realism ala Uncharted etc.
I'd really love it if the next Zelda game went the route of this tech demo visually.
This wallpaper specifically evokes something I'd like to see running in a game:
And not necessarily the art style either. Just the effect of God rays and silhouettes being driven by a real time day/night cycle.

I'm not trying to be rude but this looks like shit and we need to just let it go
It was embarrassing enough with people's reactions toward Wind Waker and Twilight Princess, we don't have to keep doing this

Absolutely disgusting. Lowest denominator garbage.
Might as well just reskin Witcher 3 with Zelda characters. That's what you really want; you don't actually want a Zelda game.

I mean yeah, I'd like to see a Zelda game with modern graphics tech but these Unreal demo things are disturbingly soulless. BotW's art style with the fidelity of something like RDR2 would be nice, but the obsession with a "realistic" Zelda that's been simmering for the last 20+ years is really weird. The fantasy game starring the elf boy probably doesn't need to be photoreal.
Now I'd take an HD remaster of the 3DS OoT and MM games any day.
I know it's fun to dunk on somebody but OP clearly didn't mean "I want the next Zelda to look exactly like this" and more the overall style.
I mean I don't agree with it necessarily, but it's not as ridiculous as some here make it out to be

Keep it in BOTW style. We know the switch can do it well (rather than a realistic style done poorly or overreaching), it ages better, it fits the ethereal tone of zelda and! More importantly they can not waste time making a new style/ engine / whatever and just make a new game in the BOTW shell.
I really don't get the appeal to that cheap and clean UE4 aesthetic but fortunately it looks like I'm not alone in that.
Anyway, I hope looking at that gross video isn't going to affect my YouTube recommendations.

My actual brain reads "so beautiful" in the OP.
It's ugly and it backfired. It's fine to be wrong, today you learned that throwing fancy graphical effects everywhere doesnt make a good looking game.
