The Wind Waker is unquestionably my favorite Zelda game. Some people may think the art style is too kiddy, but I think it's super charming and, in the future, it might hold up better than Twilight Princess' more realistic approach (those textures already look dated to me). Still, I like both styles. So! For the 8th console Zelda, I propose that they incorporate both art styles. Use cel shading, but also go for the more mature Link aesthetic. What I'm thinking is akin to the upcoming 2008 Prince of Persia game.
Even if I have no interest in playing the new Prince of Persia, I quite like the art style of the game. I think if the cartoonish-ness was played up more, it would really work for a new Zelda as well. And let's be realistic, the Wii is not a graphical powerhouse, so doing cel shading again would hide it's shortcomings in this regard. Then again, it's possible that we might not even see a new Zelda for the Wii. Maybe Nintendo will produce a proper HD console by then.
