Toon Link is so frickin' cuuuuute!

:P

who else wants a new cel-shaded zelda? i loved wind waker, phantom hourglass, and four swords. i never played minish cap though...

theres just something so charming about the cel-shaded zelda universe.

i want a plush doll of toon link! :P do they make those?

I thought Phantom Hourglass was still new, its only five months old.

And as cute as Toon Link is, nega toon link is quite the opposite. Hideous my descrption of Nega Link.

One thing I don't understand is why they didn't make Toon Link cel-shaded in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Kinda defeats the whole Wind Waker image to have him looking like a toon and yet be realistically shaded. Is there some technical limitation that prevents that from being the case?GabuEx

he would stick out too much.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I recall that all of his bomb explosions and such like are exactly as they appeared in Wind Waker. Seems kind of silly to not make Toon Link himself not follow suit. Like nLEyETn said, I don't think you could possibly stick out more than Mr. Game and Watch.

Fantastic point Gabu (you ever hear of that show Yo Gabba Gabba? The name reminds me of it)

Maybe Nintendo was trying to do to Toon Link what the Simpsons did to Homer that time he passed through the portal to the "real" world?

EDIT!: "hmmm... erotic cakes!"

diddy kong is cuter.

the diddy and fox cutscenes in brawl was so adorable. like how he dragged him and fox had this look on his face like "what did i get myself into"

I'm sorry but YOSHI owns all in the cute-ness department. When he stands still and does his little dance it's just adorable. And he doesn't suck like JIGGLY-PUFFziproy

I'm sure I could destroy you with Jigglypuff so don't go and say certain characters suck just because you can't use them.

Not sure who the cutest character would be. Toon Link, Jigglypuff, Yoshi, and Diddy are all pretty cute...But I think Ganondorf might just take the win here.

Oh yeah, Ganondorf is the cutest character in the universe. Him and his grunting, cute...

He actually reminds me of women in anime's... Y'know eyes being 1/2 of the head.

And don't flame me. I liked Wind Waker.

Four Swords and Minish Cap aren't cel shaded.

Hes not really cel-shaded in Brawl, but yes, i want a new zelda with a Wind Waker s+yle.

Forget the 'realistic' twilight princess look, it sucked.

I understood what you mean, I just wanted to make sure you don't think cel shaded has something to do with cartoon visuals.

I personally think that Zelda should remain in the two different styIes, though I prefer cel-shading. I almost think one styIe should branch off and become its own spin-off series, but retain the name, gameplay, etc. Then you could have the more traditional "epic" games like OoT, TP, MM; and you could have the cel-shaded ones with their own plots, setting, and characters.

I know that it's kind of already like that, but what I'm trying to say is that the stories from one styIe should have no influence on the stories of the other (like how, if memory serves me correctly, OoT's story was told at the beginning of WW). I think the cel-shaded style should continue the plot of Tetra and Link sailing for new lands, and the "realistic" games could start a continuing storyline (rather than a new one each game). And maybe the cel-shaded styIe could stay on handhelds (I don't want this to happen, I'm just throwing the idea out there), and the realistic could stay on consoles.

I apologize if any of this doesn't make sense, I'm feeling pretty sick/dizzy right now.

What are you talking about? Kirby is the cutest character in Brawl, and he is also the coolest. 8) Kirby cuteness!!! :Pbededog

No its Jigglypuff when it come to cuteness and Mr. Game & Watch when it comes to coolness.

ust look at toon link's stage, it cell shaded, I dont think its a tech prob

_Olimar

Good point, I forgot all about that stage.

Now I'm really confused regarding why they didn't go all the way with Toon Link.

I think the biggest factor is that the cel-shaded look is simply too different from the rest, and it would feel out of place. I know his bombs and stage are still cell-shaded, but I think that Cel-shaded Link would look bad in motion compared to the rest.

Maybe they were going for a uniformity type of thing. I mean, look at Pit. He looks...a little different than he did in the NES game.

Well, I'd think that argument would have some merit, but there's the issue of Mr. Game and Watch - they kept him in all his 2D jerky glory. Granted, Pit did receive a graphical upgrade, but the thing is that Toon Link's new shading style isn't really an analogous graphical upgrade; it's just a style change, and one that goes against the whole "toon" part of Toon Link's essence.

Ok, well, I don't know what to tell you, Gabu. There, you happy?!? They're crazy, that's why! They are crazy and don't know how to make a game, is that what you wanted to hear!?!? God! Get off my back!!!!!!

No, I don't like them and I wouldn't want a new cell shaded Zelda. I don't know why do you like adorable games, but well...Thiago26792

Jiggly is way cuter than Kirby and looking at those pictures proves it.
