Would you have been happier if this game was not a sequel to Wind Waker, and if it had not been in the toonish graphics?

I like the cel-shading visuals better than the serious TP visuals as all the characters look so funny and cute.

I really liked the cel-shading style, I would rather have the PH as cel-shaded than realistic, it makes a nice change from realistic graphics.

Rena · 10-22-2008, 05:09 PM

Loved the cel-shadding and the toonish looking characters and monsters. I loved how it was all childish and stuffs ^D^. Made the game great...er ;D.

bookworm · 10-23-2008, 06:07 AM

what is cell-shaded? i understand that its the kind of graphics used in WW and PH, but what exactly is it?

From Wikipedia...

Cel-shaded animation (also called cel-shading or toon shading) is a type of non-photorealistic rendering designed to make computer graphics appear to be hand-drawn. Cel-shading is often used to mimic the style of a comic book or cartoon. It is a somewhat recent addition to computer graphics, most commonly turning up in console video games. Though the end result of cel-shading has a very simplistic feel like that of hand-drawn animation, the process is complex. The name comes from the clear sheets of acetate, called cels, that are painted on for use in traditional 2D animation, such as Disney classics.

Hope that answers your question, Bookworm. For me, the Cel-shading style went hand in hand with the overall feel of WindWaker and Phantom Hourglass mainly because they are more cartoonish in humor as well as with graphicsI didn't like it at first, but I got used to it soon after.
