The Legend Of Zelda: The Skyward Sword.

Please god make them change link's face

He looks UGLY

i don't see why his face is an issue

Fan service, I guess.
But hey, that's me. I have no taste anyhow.

Anyway, I read somewhere that some Nintendo official said that the graphics were basically hybrids of TP and WW. (I know people have said that over and over, but read on)
However, Shigeru wanted a game that incorporated some freedom in the art apartment. Something that WW has, but there's a flaw there. If they made another WW style game, people would speculate that it was in the WW timeline.. (OoT's endings create two seperate timelines- the one where Ganon is sealed away in the Sacred Realm... which leads to WW's story arc, and the one where Link goes back into the past to warn Zelda what will happen, which leads to MM and TP's story arcs.)
So, from my speculation at any rate, I guess they decided to merge the art styles because they wanted to have over-the-top graphics without it being too cartoony.
It's also said that Shigeru merged them because of his love for impressionalist art, which is the art we see in the teaser poster, and the style we see in this: http://www.zeldawiki.org/images/3/34/Link_SS.png
If you zoom in, you can see that the blending method was heavily inspired by impressionalism art styles, especially Paul Cezanne's works.

And for another matter...
If this is early development, why does Link have the Master Sword? I don't know much about game development, but it would make sense to me to start from the beginning..
So.. If it's the beginning, why does he have the Master Sword??
