      What?

      Correct. Takashi Tezuka should have kept making them seeing as he made the best games in the series (1, 3 and LA). Miyamoto just came up with the "concept" of zelda - he came in to the office and said "dude what if we made a game where you explore caves and shit coz that's what i did when i was a child. me me me me!!!!".
      Tezuka actually did all the design/direction.

    It's the worst 3D Zelda that isn't BotW. That mostly has to do with sailing, dungeons, and combat though, not the artstyle.

      whats wrong with the combat
      id say it has better combat than TP despite having less moves, on account of the fact that its somehow harder than that game and enemies put up more of a fight

        I disagree. WW has too much waiting around for either enemies to be go into an obvious defenseless stance or for the parry ability to kick in, and most other items besides the sword aren't useful in combat. Both games are easy because enemies do shit damage to you, but contrary to what you said I find TP's enemies are at least more aggressive. The variety of sword techniques means there's a variety of ways to kill enemies, and you can generally do so quickly with the right technique or item.

        I think Darknuts are obvious case. In WW you basically just lock on to them and wait for the chance to parry repeatedly until they die. In TP there's more positioning involved and different ways to try to get a hit in, it's not very deep but it's probably the most depth Zelda combat has had.

          If, for whatever reason, you decide to wear iron boots vs a Darknut in TP, you can roll forward to kick them with the boots, which has a short enough animation and long enough hitstun that you can keep an infinite going iirc

      I dont really know how you can hate on Breath of the Wild when compared to TP OR WW. Outside of inventory shit and dungeons lacking distinct elemental themes the physics and puzzles put it way above other series titles when it comes to gameplay.

    WW is probably the best 3d Zelda aside from OoT. Only seething redditors disagree and pretend like their favorite series isn't already for literal children.

      Why do you think it's not possible to have dark themes in something that's made for children? Are you stupid? Oh wait, you're a Zelda fan on Ganker. I already know you're stupid.

        False, that would be the morons who complain about wind waker. You can have dark themes, just don't act like you're game is too childish when it doesn't despite the fact it was made for literal children.

    Miyamoto also argued against changing to the TP art style because he didn't think it would sell more so if the OP pic is true and not horseshit then he can't make up his fricking mind

    Funny story. I was in medically induced coma while WW was in development, and came out of it excited to read a game magazine's expose' on the new Zelda. I was so ready to see more Space World Demo type stuff, and then I fricking see it: TOON LINK. I was disappointed at first, but I wasn't necessarily a close minded kid and decided that it looked cool anyway.

    Overall it was pretty bad yeah. A lot of the islands had charm but so much drags on or feels blatantly unfinished. Good Ganondorf though. It must have done something right since I feel like Skyward Sword gets more hate despite being a more well put together title.

    Windwaker's art style was initially jarring personally, so I can't hold that against Miyamoto, but it quickly grew on me, and honestly it has been one of the biggest influences on my own aesthetic.
