It still is, a couple of scenes or artwork does not actually change it....ime sure theres LOK artwork out there that looks cartoony.

Overall LOZ has a childish look. Twilight princess being one of the few games that has a diffrence to this idea.

ok which one of those you posted was attributed to the games you just mentioned as not necesserily childish? because quite recently ive looked through tonnes of Zelda images and material, and the fact is most of them seem cartoony, bright, overly comedic etc to me, maybe its either because ime used to fully adult rated games like GOW and LoK or I dont know which Zelda is which since there are so many, I know that I posted a very good comparison of Majoras mask and Soul reaver earlier.

If the 3 games you mentioned are those 2d ones then its hard to say tbh...

Yep those were 2D games.

As for your comparison, don't make me laugh. Though I do have to admit that Majora's Mask was a bit on the sunny side (that's if you ignore the story).

OoT Link would stomp and obliterate Seph.
The same wat Toon would.

Btw,

Link>Sora>Cloud>Sephoroth.
Why are Sora and Cloud before Seph i wounder...

Oh yeah, Cause Cloud killed Seph, and Sora kicked Sephs ass 2 times,

Im pretty sure Link could take Sora and Cloud at the same time.

Link can lift over 1000 tons,
He can dodge attacks at the speed of sound,
he essentially controls time,
Master Sword protects him from death curses, jynx's etc.
Seph kills a giant snake, big deal,
Link kills Volvagia,
A heavily armored dragon about the same size.

Strength..
Goron Link is epic strong enough..
Gorons>Hylean strength..
Except for Link's of corse, For TP Link beats a massive goron with his bare hands!

No you see no wonder you misunderstood it and thought it was a joke, you dont understand what target audience is, theres no way the opinion of someone who has played all the games can have the same view as someone who is a new customer or a target audience, they could easily outline the game as adult simply because they like it, or have bias because they enjoy the game a lot which is obvious in Screampastes case.

On the other hand, not having played any of the games but obviously seen all the advertisement, I can see without any knowledge of the actual game or its content (e.g. ime at the knowledge of the audience to the game before actually playing it, so I have a better grasp of what they would be targetting at rather than simply assuming its my age group, you would have to understand that the deeper content of the game is not necessarily what is made to appeal to an audience or intended customer e.g. kids/adult)

Screampaste, Nemo and anyone who has played the game would have the knowledge of the whole games that they have played in the series, which means they would be talking from a perspective of actually knowing whats in the game, which of course is the opposite to the intended audience because they would not know, on base value to give a few examples youve got main characters of games, lets choose Kratos from God of war and Link quite naturally, Link is a pointy eared typical hero with bright green clothes and in a lot of the games is a child which of course such a character is hardly made for mature audience or adult generation especially in comparison to Kratos, Dante, Kain etc

Also the intended audience, looking at two screenshots below, as a customer what would you off hand say is more mature looking:

(please log in to view the image)

This is a random screenshot, it says its Majoras mask but whatever it is, its a LoZ game, notice the bright colours, a fairly cartoonish tone to everything, everythings built for eye catching or comedic value, eye catching so that young children like the colours, link being a child like them would also likely draw them in.

Then we have:

(please log in to view the image)

God of War, which obviously, its far more serious in nature, dark tones, dark characters. Theres no flashy looking cartoony objects, not in the graphics or the heads up display or interface, the character reeking of burtality, vegeance and violence is one of the immediate and obvious mature themes but the whole graphic style tells you which of the two games is aimed at adults, and which is aimed at younger gamers.



You saw the quotation marks right? sarcasm....

bright as in, light colours to catch the eye, twilight princess looking at it may be an exception, ime not really sure but Majoras mask if the image above is from that game is not "dark"..lol a more mature game series than DMC and GOW? explain this statement...your saying just because its got a better story? or a harder puzzle?

I'll admit, I only saw BT's initial question of comparing audience for the two screenshots, but it's enough.

BT, it's not even close to ****ing fair to compare a two generation old game's graphics to state of the art, so anything you might have to say is just null and void right there. Now, if you had picked a screen shot of another rather violent...I'm sorry "mature" game, that came from the same era, then you might've had a valid argument. Fail, sir.
