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.
The backgrounds in OoT aren't realistic-looking at all. They're just blurry. And WW's backgrounds look like backgrounds from a Loony Toons cartoon; it fits with the cel-shading but does not neccessarily scream cartoon. For the most part.
