actually i was talkin to bunny. As far as Zelda, I could care less what he looks like, as long as the gameplay is good.

It's cell shaded link. And I hate what OoT did to zelda fans. STYLE OVER SUBSTANCE FUCKS! Zelda always was ment to be cartoonish, like how monsters do the "I'm Dead" dance before falling in a pit(which is in this game) Miyomoto never wanted a realistic Link, he was forced to do it in OoT by Nintendo and MM wasn't in anyway his. Have you seen the video of it? This is one of the most aggressive Links ever. His new spin attack is like a much faster spin attack that Deku Links has and lasts longer. Miyomoto came up with the idea of link when he was a little kid, he use to live near a cave, and one night he gathered up the courage to go there, alone and with nothing more than a lantern...

The new Zelda is going to kick ass. I think the cel shading is great. All the N64 fanboys that are crying need to go back to playing thier Metal Gears and thier Silent Hills and leave the real games like Zelda alone.

There's a difference between a cartoon and a badly drawn cartoon, which is what the new Link is, an example of the cutesy bug eyed scribbled characters coming out of Japan these days, his style matches that of Megaman Zero, Breath of Fire 5 and Star Ocean 3 as well.
Miyamoto always wanting Link to be like that is bull, he's following a trend.

And anybody who says Link is always supposed to be a child is talking out of his ass, he was not a child in Zelda 2 or Zelda LttP or Zelda LA - look at the damn artwork.

Yeah. look at the squat pre teen renderings of Link in The Legend of Zelda, A Link to the Past, Link's Awakening and Majora's Mask. He's only been an adult in Zelda II The Adventures of Link, Ocharina of Time and the cartoon that used to come on fridays on the Super Mario show.

Almost forgot, Captain N as well.
