Quote:If you took all of the backgrounds from WW and put them into OoT the game would look ten times more realistic. The backgrounds in OoT are just plain ugly by today's standards.
Well, it's true that the textures are much better on the 'Cube, but the cartoony backgrounds seemed to be designed in that manner to accomodate the cel-shaded models and the game's overall tone.
In a game like OoT, where many of the environments are designed around realism, the design of WW's environments wouldn't make it look more realistic, simply because that isn't how OoT's environment was designed.
That's how I feel, at least. Texture quality notwithstanding, OoT's environments strive to look more realistic, while WW's are geared to look more cartoony to fit the cell-shading.
