Nintendo explains why they moved away from realistic Zelda design in Spaceworld 2000 footage

One of the more memorable moments in Zelda history was when Nintendo showed a GameCube tech demo at Spaceworld 2000. A brief scene depicted Link and Ganondorf duking it out in a realistic style. But as we later learned, it was just that – a tech demo and nothing more.

Wind Waker has definitely aged better than Twilight Princess

Art styles definitely hold up better than trying to chase photorealism. To me art styles are much more important.

GtR35olution2660d ago

The truth is they moved from realistic graphics because their consoles hasnt been powerful enough to make the games look realistic

Nyxus2660d ago

Ah the Spaceworld demo, classic!

Moonman2660d ago

This and the Wii U reveal Zelda demo art style will remain in fans memories. It still looks good because Zelda art is brilliant. The Zelda built for Switch should try more realism but in a Zelda way. Those Unreal Engine 4 Ocarina youtube videos by CryZENx look fantastic.

I bought my GameCube off of that video. Then the Zelda Master collection and with wind waker so that sold me on that one. Glad it did cause windwaker was awesome

Twilight Princess is the most beautiful Zelda game ever.

I'd put Street Fighter 2 over 3. 2 and all its different versions dominated the arcade scene back in the day in a way that 3 never did.

Abear21211d ago

Agreed, Same with Metal Gear Solid imo. Came for Bioshock and was not disappointed. Would easily put Burger Time or Space Taxi over tempest. Also, OG Sim City and Oregon Trail. Mario 64 as well. Just too many!

Never played it I gotta get on this one

Double_O_Revan211d ago

Me too. I didn't have a GC until way later and never played it. I've been waiting on Nintendo to release the HD edition on the Switch for forever, but they just won't!

FinalFantasyFanatic211d ago

I never bought a Gamecube, I've always had an urge to play this game, maybe it'll get a remaster in the future.

LoveSpuds211d ago

I played it on WiiU for the first time and it remains my fave Zelda game to date. So much character and a real sense of exploration without the open world bloat.

Ms Pacman?
Robotron?
SSF2 Turbo over 3 simply by the 10000000000's ports of the game we're still having
Castlevania SOTN?
Zelda Link to the Past over Wind Waker
Super Mario Bros 3?
Chrono Trigger?
Resident evil4?
COD MW2 (the original)?
Uncharted 2
Metal Gear Solid?

Here's my reasoning for all of them versus the list proposed in the article.
They are still quite enjoyable from start to finish on their original platform, unlike some Wind Waker or Okami that are fun when you play the remastered version (unless you call: forced to watch a 20-minute cutscene or have to blow for wind chance constantly fun).
Some of them are the pinnacle of what the console could do (MGS, Chrono, MGS)
Lots of them are still considered the go-to-go game for their genre.

Said it before but Heart of Darkness is truly a timeless gem.
