Zelda is definitely not like The Lord of the Rings. Not visually, anyhow. Zelda came from Miyamoto's memories of playing around in the woods as a little kid. It's very innocent, which is something that I felt was missing in OoT. And it's the very same reason why Miyamoto wanted to change the look for WW.
I just find it hilarious how ABF and others say that it's "not right!" for Zelda, thinking that they know what it should be more than the man who created it. The only reason why I say the more light-hearted look is right for Zelda is because the creator of the series feels the same way about it. If I didn't like the innocent, happy look of Zelda then I wouldn't be afraid of saying so, but I definitely wouldn't proclaim it as absolute fact like ABF does. I'd just say that I don't like it.
