    So, I've heard people say they loved the "illustrative look" but this is the first time I see it for myself.
    I was not prepared.
    My pants now require washing.

    This is exactly what I want the next Zelda to look like. Exactly.

    Twilight Princess, graphically, was such a step back. Wind Waker, while as a complete game may be inferior, visually it was breaking new ground and I hate how Nintendo abandoned that to satiate Nintendo fans just wanting a 'realistic' Zelda, when a 'realistic' Zelda these days is the epitome of bland.

    I mean they did a decent job, but come on. Wind Waker had oodles more charm, flair and style.

    Except the coolest part of the game was 'monotonous gray', or at least part of it was.
    Visiting the old Hyrule in black and white was pure fucking awesome, followed by the influx of color when you grabbed the master sword, it was beautiful.

    I saw these shots in the front page EDGE exclusive this month.

    This is the first time in a while I've seen screens which look better on my PC than in a glossy mag.

    Brown rather than grey, then.
    Not that it was a bad dungeon, but it looked dull compared to the things the game had previously shown itself capable of.

    360, PS3, and PC.

    With some weird Nintendo DS offshoot.

    Though I completely disagree with TP looking anything but awesome, I agree that a Zelda game in this art-style would be fucking incredible. These screens actually looks like a good middle ground between cel-shading and realism. "Normal" looking characters, but given the indelible flow of a "cartoon".

    Anyway. This looks incredible.

    Not too shabby, but looks too stitched together. Will wait on some in game video (and you know, game play details) before getting too excited.

    Nice to see the scimitar engine getting some more use though.

    Yeah, they should just make it a new franchise. But, of course, it's much more safe to transpose an established name onto a game.

    But yes, that is fucking gorgeous.

    If you were to check the page's source code, you'd notice I limed this twice. It cannot be said enough.

    As for mountain-climbing with sandals: The prince can do anything, from reversing time to smoldering with generic rage. I think he walk on walls with sandals.

    This guy isn't the same Prince

    Apparently he is a thief who unleashed some crazy demons and has to seal them back up or be cursed forever

    So if they do this right, we'll get more snarky banter and less smoldering generic rage
