Why is it coming out so often that a lot of Miyamoto stuff was fake? Like him hating DKC?

No, he didn't.

Maybe he wasn't convinced at first, but you really think he didn't have the authority to shoot it down had he not changed his mind after initial impressions? It's an art style that would shock anyone, then grow on you, so it's only natural that he'd greenlit it only after he gave it a second thought.

Thing I hated about Windwaker's art style is that it infected every other Zelda title in the gamecube era.

It was Windwaker. It was 4 Swords. It was Minish Cap. You saw Zelda anywhere and it was that BettyBoopHeadHaving siscon motherfucker staring back at you with his goofy bug eyes.

Windwaker looked amaziny and I loved the art...in Windwaker. It needed to stay in Windwaker

EVERYBODY disliked Wind Waker's graphics at first because we all saw this and got hyped for a "photo realistic" Zelda game

https://youtu.be/jqcyQOgmUYE

But you know what 22 years later they made the right choice, Wind Waker looks amazing to this day

It was fine in 2D. In fact the overhead style looked best like this.

But 3D on Gamecube just looked weird.

The reason every single Zelda after twilight princess uses cell shading is because Nintendo consoles usually dont have the horsepower to produce a game such as BOTW in a realistic style that looks well.

there is a specific spot in BOTW where a combination of elements, such as shading, shadow, and transparency mix in a way where you can fool the game not to cell shade link. He ends looking rather rubbery and uncanny valley-esque like that GameCube demo:

One of my favorite aspects about the Zelda series is the varying art styles across different games. While Mario is completely uniform nowadays, Zelda has separate distinctive styles. I sincerely hope the BOTW look isn't a uniform standard moving forward.

I do agree, wind waker looks great and the many problems with the game had nothing to do with graphics. But that demo also still looks good to this day, wouldn't mind a Zelda like that either

if you look with attention, there is a very specific point where link is between shadow and light and his cell shading goes away, and he looks plasticky without it

They were awful. Zelda should not be cartoonish. Mario should be cartoonish. Kirby should be cartoonish. Zelda should be Lord of the Rings / Dungeons and Dragons in video game form.
