Yes, this debate should end... its impossible to "debate" the topic when your good points are ignored or misunderstood (intentionally or not i don't know)... like OB1 does constantly.
Here's something I don't understand. Why in the world would disliking the art direction TWW took make me (or anyone) not want to buy the game? It would be really stupid to make buying decisions based on graphics...
On the topic of art vs entertainment, yeah, Miyamoto really is more a artist than a entertainer... he doesn't let the public's opinion shape his -- like a artist, not a entertainer. And usually that's ok because his vision has generally been easily accepted by the game buying public... WW is of course an exception to that, at least in Western markets... maybe its the fact that he doesn't pay enough attention to the people's opinions that was the reason that he was actually surprised that Americans and Europeans didn't like TWW's graphics... that's something he REALLY should have been able to see coming...
Oh, and OB1, its dumb that after Nintendarse makes so many good points (in this post and plenty of others) you so often just ignore them... like here... I'd say he's making a lot of sense... and you laugh it off. But you're ignoring or not really answering all of the good points against you in the argument so that's hardly surprising... in this argument its amazing how poorly you are defending your positions...
You repeat this over and over. Why? It just isn't relevant! We all know that MIyamoto thought for some reason that realistic Zelda was, in some way, 'wrong', at least for now. Yeah. So? Does that automatically mean that we all must fall in line with it and praise his brilliance at making such a dramatic change to the series? Some will... but dissent is hardly bad, or strange, or wrong... will it accomplish anything? Obviously not. But that's not the point...
Oh, and I think I'll repeat it yet AGAIN: I DON't HATE THE STYLE OF TWW! I JUST THINK THAT IT WOULD BE MUCH BETTER (ARTISTICALLY) WITH A REALISTIC STYLE? WHY can't you understand that simple statement? I don't get it....
Oh, and I'd LOVE to see a explanation of how TWW done in a realistic style would actually have any siginifcant gameplayh differences... you have said it would but not done anything at all to defend that position...
