re: With Eiji Aonuma retiring in 10 years, does Zelda series decline? Other notes.

Wind Waker is different though because Nintendo began by putting out badass pictures of Gannon and Link in a style similar to OoT and MM and then went with the cartoon style.

I refused to play the game for a long time because of the drastic change and disappointment. If Nintendo doesn't begin by saying the game would look like OoT and MM then I think Wind Waker would have been received better.
