Just played the Wind Waker demo, and any doubts that I may have had about the game are gone.
And the graphics really are pretty amazing. The art-direction is absolutely awe-inspiring. It's not just that the game is cel-shaded, the art-direction is what you draws you into Link's new world.
The expressions on Link's face, heat waves, draw distances as far as the eye can see, cool wind effects, and the smoke looks really cool; the individual clouds of smoke look really artistic. The amount of ART in Wind Waker's graphics is astonishing, and everything looks so damn fluid (incredible animations and imagination). Seriously, very cool art-direction, very cool...
I still would like to see Nintendo create a realistic Zelda taking advantage of the GameCube hardware a little more...
