Art Style In The Zelda Games

[DMiller]

But a good 90% of the Oracles series graphics (and a lot of its music too) are straight rips from LA...

Maybe I'm remembering the Oracle games wrong, but I don't remember being all impressed with the style while playing the games. I guess I'd have to go back and compare them to LA.

LttP has some nice background artwork, but I still don't like the character art so much... LA is beautiful though, it's as good as you'll ever get on the original GB.

I guess if you don't like the character art in LttP you wouldn't like it much, but the character art in LttP is probably my favorite in the series so that's why I rank it so high.

OoT vs. Majora's Mask is a tough one. While MM perhaps has better art, it has the expansion pack so it can push farther, and the game is definitely not as good as OoT... plus, OoT was more original. MM does have some amazing artwork in it though... I think I'd rank OoT higher in the end even so. Still, Clock Town and Ikana Canyon look amazing...

If you compare the NPCs in Majora to those in OoT you will see why I rated it much higher. Every character in Majora is awash with personality, a practice that continued with Wind Waker and Twilight Princess. Important NPCs in OoT had this personality, but NPCs that had no importance to the main game weren't given the same care.
