Before there was 3D gaming; Zelda was absolutely one of the more well-regarded franchises in videogames.

Oh my fucking god. Those visuals were so clean and the art style is so CUTE.
I need this game in my veins right now. It's exactly what I wanted.

That's a worry I have. I really hope they can nail tight and responsive controls in this one.
AAA is not really a quality designation, it's about budget.
Hollow Knight, a very well regarded game, is not AAA.
The backlash against the artstyle reminds me of Wind Waker...Which somehow puts my heart at ease.
God, Marina's voice at the end made me cry, one of the things I look forward to the most is the remixed soundtrack.

It looks like more people like the art style than dislike it to me.
... and how is your comment any different than theirs? Essentially you are reflecting it back to them and are justifying it by saying "Well they started it!" Come on man, you can see the flawed logic here?
Don't call out a group unfairly by lumping them together.
He's Left handed. That's all that matters. Also, people complained about WW's art style during the time, and now they love it. We'll get used to it.
It almost has a painterly style in places too, look at the texture of this building. Looks amazing imo.
The original rumor for this remake early last year stated that it was a 3DS remake of LA. The assumption bring that it was transitioned to the Switch at some point due to 3DS software sales tanking.
I think they nailed the materials for the game.It almost has a painterly style in places too, look at the texture of this building. Looks amazing imo.
Wind Waker wasn't a remake of an all-time classic and its art style was consistent between gameplay and cutscenes, though.
ALBW had a more faithful adaptation of the character design from LA than this weird Funko Pop style they are doing.
It looked bad on the 3DS, but the character design was great.
I watched this shit parked in a parking lot on my phone. When I realized what it was I began to cry. My favorite Zelda game coming back and looking so phenomenal.

I could care less what you fucking think about my argument. I don't have the time to sift through the bullshit I read earlier, do it YOURSELF.

Thanks for screenshotting that, been asking for someone to do it. It's still compressed as hell but better than nothing. People saying this looks like a 3DS game are, frankly, full of shit.It almost has a painterly style in places too, look at the texture of this building. Looks amazing imo.
Yes, the art style is great, right?
If that's the case, let me see if I can make one. I just didn't want to diffuse the discussion.
Yeah, this looks amazing. It's kinda how I imagined a Link's Awakening remake to look like (besides the character designs).It almost has a painterly style in places too, look at the texture of this building. Looks amazing imo.
With the exception of some of the more intensive post processing and the fact that it's not running at 400x240, it doesn't look that far outside the realm of possibility. If it did start on 3DS I think it changed a while back though.
I could buy it being an initial plan they had if they started work in 2015 right after Triforce Heroes, but I can't imagine it having been that for very long. All those assets look like they were clearly made for more powerful hardware than the 3DS in mind.
Watching the trailer I knew the art would be super divisive, hahah. And just like pretty much every other time something is divisive, I'm right in the middle. It does look unique... but it also looks plastic and somewhat lifeless. The problem with plastic is that it's cheap and weightless, and it's hard not to make that mental association when something looks like plastic.
(incidentally this was my issue with a lot of the visuals during the early render era. Donkey Kong Country palm trees looked like cheap plastic toys to me).

I just took a little snippet directly from YT, but i just found this screenshot posted on Polygon of the same scene. This structure in particular looks fantastic.
I'm super excited just to play this with more than 2 buttons! And no little square scrolling screens? Yes!
Ugh at the art style, especially when the cutscene looks so nice. But whatever. This is a great game, and it deserves the upgrade away from its original limited hardware.

If you make a claim, the onus is on you to prove it. You said people are making this out to be an apocalyptic. I haven't seen any of that. You also claimed that because people on youtube like it, that means all the naysayers are wrong.
If you don't want to be called out on making shitty disingenuous arguments: Don't make them.
I feel like the artstyle choice is just to further push the fact that its a dream.
I bet once you finish the game and you see link in the ending he will have his normal proportions like the intro showed.
