Skyward Sword Art Style Unlikely to be Reused

skyward sword art style

If you were a fan of Skyward Sword’s Art style and would like to see more of it in future games than you are out of luck. Unlike The Wind Waker which saw several renditions of its toon-like graphics, Skyward Sword is a one hit wonder.

In a recent interview with Zelda developer, Aonuma, he discussed the reasoning behind this decision. “With Wind Waker, the graphics were suited to handheld gaming. Also the game ended with Link embarking on a journey, so it left open the possibility of what comes after the game. With Skyward Sword, positioning it as the first Zelda game means everything else connects to it and comes after it. It becomes a little bit difficult to do something else within that world and certainly much more difficult to do something that comes before it.”

    its also a shame that the wind waker graphics are only going to be on handhelds cause i would really like to see another 3D console zelda with that design. possibly one taking place some time after four swords adventures in the time line.

      i agree. i would like to see another full (hopefully HD on the wii u) wind waker style game

  • I really enjoyed the new art direction. However for the new game i would love to see a similar thing to the
    Wii U tech demo

    Does that mean there won't be any motion controls anymore? D: They said that was the reason for the new look. I absolutely adored the motion controlled 1-1 sword fights, it was my favorite zelda game because of that
