<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Yeah...that's a danger...but i think that's always been a good audience. Toot was just fine, though it wasn't that simple...i think i'll like this new one, tho others might not.</div>

The only different kinds of expressions you can do well with cel-shading are those cartoon-esque, very exaggerated expressions like super-gaping mouths or massive amounts of tears and the like.

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Like could have been equally expressive in the form we saw him in during those E3 movies, just without all of this Saturday Morning cartoon bullshit. I'm sure these incredible expressions that baby Link is capable of will be awe-inspiring to children, but Zelda has been the one series Nintendo had (other than Metroid) that had incredible potential to appeal to older, more mature audiences. I think they have their priorities mixed up.

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Comparing Miyamato to Picasso is like comparing apples to... no, oranges won't cut it. Vaginal moisturizers, maybe. They're artists in completely different fields, and besides, Miyamato never made "beautiful copies." His are all originals.</div>
