hate hate hate hate they look like plastic and not in the charming old school 3d way but as if they intentionally said “lets make extremely high quality 3d models of plastic dolls” hate hate hate
I hate this because it’s like who played OOT and thought it was missing a doll aesthetic? And why can’t they just make a new Zelda with a doll aesthetic where the mechanics et al. might be better harmonized with it? Why ram it into an otherwise bland remake? Windwaker HD all over again.
It’s such a bizarre idea. Like why not use that aesthetic for a new game entirely? The Link’s Awakening remake had the same issue, though it wasn’t as obnoxiously ugly and actually had some charm to it - why are these remakes going for entirely different styles than their originals, instead of aiming to something closer to the original concept art?
Oh yeah that’s true. And honestly I do really like that art style, which is more than I could say for the OoT remake, but it’s just so weird to me how they keep going in these experimental directions for remakes in particular.

They’re supposed to look like puppets I guess?
I don’t like it either, but it probably really hits for people who grew up watching puppet dramas.

The Link Awakening was kind like a test for the Echoes of Wisdom

The doll look works ok for me, but everything is just so overly textured/greebled that it makes me itch just looking at it lol.
Reads more like little porcelain figures a grandma would collect to me.
They should have made it cel shaded like wind waker but with these proportions
