The game is not toon shaded. It's cel-shaded, like a number of titles that have nothing to do with Zelda. And most people I've talked to
prefer the new look...I played the demo and I can say without a doubt that the new graphic style works.
"You know i liked the look of the first dark cloud. I was so normal"
What does that mean? Normal for what? More life-like? Different people have different tastes...Level 5 and SCEA (if they did any decision-making) don't cater to the needs of each individual. They look at it in a couple ways: 'What would appeal most to gamers, so the game can sell?' or 'What look fits this type of game most (based on the opinions of the developers, or a select group of gamers via polls and surveys)?'
I wouldn't get too worked up over it...the new look doesn't hurt the game in any way...in fact it has opened up a number of opportunities...town-building has been made simpler for the user, but more complex in the way you can customize certain objects. Try the game out...and if you don't like it, we can argue some more
