Re: At the moment I'm enjoying my Cube more than ever
I think it's a pretty sure deal that there will be a mature Zelda. The real question is how long will we have to wait for it. This next Zelda is definately Cel-Shaded, so it's not that one. And if Nintendo decides to make a third Zelda on the Cube, it'll likely also be based on the Cel-Shaded engine (simply because of time; the WW engine is more complete than the engine used in the SW2k video).
So in all reality, if we see a mature Zelda, it's more likely that it will be on the next console than on Gamecube. Nintendo will reevaluate their position in the console market before that next console releases, so it will really depend on what market they're hoping to hit.
A huge add campaign about "You've been waiting for it, and now Nintendo delivers: A mature and realistic Zelda game" would be quite effective if they decide that is where they want to base their marketing.
However, the issue I see with Nintendo is that they aren't as sales driven as most of their competitors. If they don't think they can provide the gameplay experience that they're aiming for because of a particular aspect of development, they're going to change it whether or not it affects sales.
