In 'Understanding Comics' Scott McCloud talks about how simplified characters help readers to identify with them whereas secondary characters or some objects tend to be more detailed and realistic to make them feel more foreign.
Funny how Nintendo has done the opposite with OoT in some ways.

Link's 3D render from Ocarina of Time Remake looks like he's wearing an improvised outfit made out of different accessories he bought at the Kokiri Forest crafts fair throughout the years and I kinda like that.

Even though I disliked the very first shot they've shown of OoT, the visual approach ended up growing on me as the showcase continued. It felt overdone at first, and I do feel the style of its different elements clash at times, but there's lots to like. Hyrule Town in particular looked gorgeous.

Animated version of one of my Castlevania Redrawn entries. This one's screen 5-6.
I had the pleasure to also host this collab project a couple years ago, along with the @retroredrawn.bsky.social pals.

Folks frame this as “physical vs. digital,” but it’s really “ownership vs. licensing.”
Physical games exist outside the publisher’s ecosystem—you can sell it, lend it, collect it…
Digital purchases tie access to an account/storefront, with no resale and fewer options overall.

Right now the world is full of people who want to code and write and paint and film stuff and people who want to play and read and look at and watch stuff and nobody is allowed to do any of that because some unrelated third guy isn't making enough money off the deal
Our games industry is people. Our studios are people. Our teams people, our games by people for people. Our games are made by people, in groups of people, in teams of people, making people things for people.
The magic is people, and the people deserve so much better than all this. I am so sorry.
