I have to go with:
My god, what have they done??
So the polygons counts are though the roof and the same gos for the textures.
What do you want them to stick with the crapy N-64 models!?
The preident of nintendo should come out and say "Hey America, we are a friggn *playing card company* and have been sense 1874. We do this console thing as a side job to make money from the 3-11 year of age bracket. Our "mature" audince buys our playing cards and plays poker, Blackjack, and other games of chance. Our product is in every casino in Japan."
If Americans would just realize that Nintendo's main line of manufacturing is Playing cards and poker chips, they won't be going around asking "WHY?" every time they make a pokemon N64 that truns on when you press down on Pikachu's foot.

P.S. Oh, BTW I did mean 1874, they have been around for more that 100 years. Theu also make bone Mah-jongg tilesets too. Very nice.

What the hell is that!?
I was thinking of getting a Game Cube over the X-Box in a year or so's time basicly FOR Zelda and there Metriod and Marios games.
**** that man! The demo shown at Spaceworld was amazeing! This is just BS. New look? Pah! The game play and music will have to be pretty good to make up for that "new look".
Bastards! Bastrads! BASTARDS!!
And what the hell is with his hair? Link is dirty blond damnit! Not blond!
Bastards!
Bah. Not only did Nintendo tell Square they didnt want Final Fantasy IV-VI on the game boy advanced(I would buy a GBA for that!) but now they go and screw up Zelda on the Gamecube. Now I have been a long time fan of Nintendo but they are REALLY pushing it now.
I'm starting to think "**** them". I will get an X-Box when they get cheap. If want full 3d damnit! Not this cartooon crap!
Blegh. End rant. Someone should start a petition on petition online"
I rest my case...or I will rest Nintendos face. Yea thats it. Bastards!!!
I don't like the Zelda games anyway, but this REALLY SUX!

Zelda has always been a bit cartoonish in style, trying to make things real just makes the graphics silly and worse as the graphics simply isn't good enough yet. I think the graphics in the new Zelda is really amazing and good-looking.
However, I would have preferred it if they didn't include actual humor elements from cartoons...most of us have grown tired of the typical cartoonish mass-produced humor long since. It should have been a harder cartoon and less a children's cartoon, but Nintendo has always been the children's gaming platform (teenagers and older go for playstation usually) so I guess I'm not in a position to complain.
. . . as far as Nintendo being a card company . . . I thought that was just a rumor started in an April issue of Nintendo power. LOL.
