I saw less gloom in TOTK than in your posts. We get it, you do not like the art direction, go play the N64 or 3DS versions and enjoy the savings.

Watched another vid and it’s baffling how much better the adult versions look. Adult Link looks great and Sheikh looks amazing despite the people bitching that the design is too obviously feminine. The quality of the adults makes the the child versions even more insane. Link looks like a cherub lol


Only real issue I have with child version Link is his eyes, child version Zelda looks diseased, I think its the hat and her eyes being so far apart. Other then that Saria, Ganandorf, Sheik, adult link all look great.

I also think this version of the Great Fairy will bring another generation of kids to adulthood and have moms washing a lot of stiff socks

I mean, it's a fantasy world not reality. I've also never seen fish people or talking trees in my actual life either.


I think people will adjust

I think a lot of this is nintendo fans not being use to hyper-realism coming from nintendo, and they just are not sure how to feel about it yet. This is a very non-nintendo style aesthetic

Wow. I never saw clips of the 3ds version. That doesn't look too great.

Late to the party but it looks amazing. My 8 and 13 year olds were both blown away by how cool it looks. I’m surprised people are bitching about this.

Ball is not a circle. Background too foggy. Lazy Atari.

Nintendo games are the only games that nobody is allowed to even slightly critique because they’re held in divine regard by 40yr old children in both the general consumer base and media alike. I literally told yall I am buying a Switch 2 solely for this game bc it’s the GOAT - that doesn’t mean it’s beyond critique though.

These designs are great. Modernize the originals with unique design cues









These designs are awful and look like fan project renders. If you think they’re good, you have brain damage. Saria is the only child design that doesn’t look comically bad






The creature and boss designs all look good from what I’ve seen. Think they whiffed on the Gorons. It’s a mixed bag with a lot more good than bad thankfully


This is exactly what Stan and I are talking about. The right looks infinitely better. We all know why they chose to implement the left - the Switch 2 is just not strong enough a console to implement the right and they need to obscure visual elements with things like fog and other volumetric effects. Nobody likes to talk about that though

Wonder if Nintendo decided that performance was more important. The haze probably is the reason it can run at a consistent and fluid 60fps

Had they chose 30fps they probably could’ve rendered it like on the right. But I think more hardcore ocarina of time fans would prefer better, more precise control and less clunky nature over perfect visual fidelity. If it came down to making a choice between the 2 I think they made the right choice

I’m also assuming that the haze is mostly limited to open areas like hyrule field and kokiri forest, places with more depth in artifacts and places like the dungeons, which are more confined, will be less hazy

All and all I think it’s one of those things that after a few minutes of playing it won’t even register to you anymore. I think the same can be said for character designs, other than Zelda, they did that poor girl wrong, she looks like a deliverance baby. The more I watch the gameplay the less the look of young link unsettles me

100%. And to be clear, I’ll take what we’re getting over no haze and shitty 30fps

From the limited footage I’ve watched, you’re correct. Dungeons should be good to go. The shadow temple is the one place where I’ll want fog and haze and mist, specifically the boat ride

I think this looks amazing. Really didn't think the Switch 2 could produce graphics like this.

Yea, I'm not really a fan of how absurdly detailed Link is compared to the NPCs in castle town, but the more I see it, the less I care.
It's really not even Link as a whole to me, but I feel like they over-designed the hell out of his tunic. Feel like this is a "less is more" situation. It damn near looks like it's made out of straw.

My gripes are few and far between, but that's definitely one of them.

Am I the only one that much prefers 30 fps? Maybe it’s because I’m old, but 30 just looks more cinematic/less obviously fake than 60.

I have a original switch that I barely ever played but this game is making me consider buying a switch 2 because I like Zelda and have never played OoT which I know is considered one of their very best.
