Wind Waker is a great looking game. The style works really well... my only problem with the graphics is the water. Boring. Now, I'd say that the cartoonish style doesn't immerse me in the world as much as a realistic style does, but it looks great and has a lot of style, so that's okay... I have no complaints. And I think that once most people played WW they realized that the graphics worked.
WW with realistic graphics? It wouldn't be a whole lot better. And it'd be a lot less unique, because there are plenty of realistic-looking games while nothing looks like WW... Plus, that style is perfect for the kind of Zelda it is -- more lighthearted... look at LttP! Extremely cartoonish graphical style!
The problem with the game is difficulty, not graphics.
