   To be honest I disagree. Sure it was always based in some kind of western medieval universe but there was always blatantly obvious Japanese art influences throughout the game. A kimono wearing Ganondorf in WW for example.

      I agree, Zelda’s look and design has always been
      “Western High Adventure/Middle Ages *by way of* Japanese design and visual sensibilities”

      There’s always been some Anime in the look of Zelda. I’ve always hoped we’d see a full-fledged western take on Zelda. That series is so full of great opportunities for trying different ideas and designs, but Nintendo just keeps doing the same thing over and over with very few variations.

      Wind Waker was a great example of ‘trying something new’… let’s hope they don’t just stop there.
