Fan treats Zelda: Wind Waker to a makeover, makes it more photorealistic

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker will always be remembered for its unique visual style. Nintendo took a rather large risk by implementing cel-shaded graphics, though there’s no question it payed off.

But what if Nintendo decided to take a more realistic approach with the game’s visual style? That’s what Reddit user “thepixelartist” explored in his latest work. He’s completely turned Outset Island into a more photorealistic environment.

Oh, and no… technically the last photo in the gallery above is not part of thepixelartist’s Wind Waker set. It’s just something a bit more random he created, but I figured some of you may enjoy it nonetheless!
