Look, my favorite Zelda art is the "realistic" art. I think Twilight Princess has the best art design in the franchise, and when it comes to Link's Awakening, my favorite art style for any LA art is Katsuya Terada's incredible promo/guide/etc. work, which is in a pretty "realistic manga" style. A LA remake with that art style would be absolutely incredible and I've love to see it.
However, as DJ said, the plastic-toy look they went with is entirely consistent with the art of the photos from the DX version. The art style in those photos is, just like this, very cute and toylike. It's quite different from the more "realistic" art of the intro.
Of course though, that's entirely the point; it's all a hint at the actual story and setting of the game. It's a brilliantly done and perfectly fits the game's setting and story.
