<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS"; text-align: left; '>I'm quite sure the gameplay will be pretty good, which is what really matters most. But I'm asking which would have been your preference when it comes to the graphics.

This one? Polygonal perfection! Bump mapped....mmmmmm-yuuuummmy..

Or this one? Cel shaded Saturday morning cartoon!

Notice how this picture shows Link with cat's eyes! And you know how much I hate cats. But...this is a Zelda game. I wish it was Polygonal/bump mapped instead.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Helvetica; text-align: left; '>Actually.... the cell-shaded version looks like the illustrations in the original LoZ hand-book / that old zelda cartoon... but I'd still prefer the polygonal link.</div>

I prefer polygonal, I think they should have saved the Cell shaded thing for a game like Conkers BFD 2 or Earthbound 2.

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I'm not going to make a petition and demand that Miyamoto changes the game to something that I would rather see though, that in my opinion would be more of an insult than anything. I am sure Nintendo is aware that Zelda is perhaps the most popular game series in the History of Videogames, they have a legacy to live up to, especially considering, Zelda 1 was the first game to ever sell 1 million Copies, Zelda 64 sold 7 million copies in 6 weeks, the next fastest selling game sold 3 million copies in a 6 week period. Zelda Ocarina of Time was critically acclaimed as the best game of the last Century. Add in, A Link to the Past; this game has that Legacy to live up to, the question is, will it?</div>

<div style='font: 12pt "Times New Roman"; text-align: left; '>I don't mind cel shading, I think its neat actually, but Link looks so lame like that...the polygonal looks SO awesome</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Cel shading could've worked very well for this, actually. But... it's unfortunate that they decided to make such a gay character design. They should've stuck with the polygonial model.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS"; text-align: left; '>The cel-shading would work perfectly for an anime style Link. Now...is that not a great idea or what! Can someone make me a petition? =8^)</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Cel-shaded. Way more expression possible. Though Link's character design the way they did it is utterly shuddlerly ugly. Have you all seen the what's it calleds, the moblins? Much better.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Polygonal. Cel-shaded animation, no matter how good, tends to lend itself more towards games aimed at younger audiences. I was hoping Nintendo would continue with the trend of giving the Zelda games a more mature look.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>They figure they've already got the older audience and want to try and crack the younger audience. That's what I think, anyways, but I could be wrong</div>
