Hmm, never herd of it, thus the lack of knowledge about them. But I still think it's insane to ask if a Zelda game was coming out for the ps2.
Quote: "The screenshots look terrible in my opinion... Like the N64 with lightmapping. I think the Wind Waker had it spot on. The toon shading rocked."
Uh.. yah. When's the last time you looked at the n64 version? And the reason this one isn't toon shaded is because it's going to be the most mature in the series. It will even feature the oldest Link, so toon shading wouldn't exactly fit it. If you read up about it, you'll see that Nintendo's added quite a few things that are completely new to the series. A lot of Zelda fans were actually swayed from the series when Nintendo took the cartoony approach. The game was still great, but most people said the graphics sucked without giving it a second glance, despite how good they actually were.

If we ever do see one out do Mario 64, my bet is it will come out for the Revolution. I'm actualy kind of anoyed at how little variation there's been in the majority of platformers since the release of Mario 64.
Quote: "well Zelda and Mario have always been quite different games, I think the first 3d zelda on the 64 was a big leap for the series. I would agree that neither series has hugely improved since those titles though, windwaker and sunshine (while still better than 99% of games from other companies) were not as good as the 64 versions in my opinion "
Too true.
