Wind Waker is both my favorite 3D Zelda visually, and my favorite 3D Zelda in general. I have no clue why some people hate it.

This theory is completely wrong.

this isn't a theory.

personally I think majora's mask also had the best art direction, at least until skyward sword

I don't hate it, i actually like it, but I'm making the argument that the other zeldas would be no where near as popular if they used WWs graphics.

If OoT had WW's graphics way back in 1998? People would've been blown away.

Graphical style if it makes you happy.

Still would've been blown away as we hadn't seen any sort of cel-shading style in 3D at that point IIRC. Would've been very impressive, especially for N64

You're saying the same thing.

Besides, remember, people criticized WW's art style because it was so radically different from what OoT and MM had established. At the time OoT was being released, all we had was LoZ, AoL, LttP, and LA, and WW's art style is probably more congruous with those games so I don't think people would've been like "oh what the hell is this cel-shaded stuff." They would've been amazed by it because we didn't have graphics like that at all in 1998. That kind of art style would've been ahead of its time.

This is true. The first cel shaded game was Jet Set Radio (I think), where the graphic worked because it really fit the game. However, now people are basically bringing in hardware limitations, and all that into the argument.

On the Wind Waker backlash note:

Remember before Gamecube was released Nintendo showed us this:
