"and that windwaker nonsense"
Are you kidding, Windwaker was awesome. If you can't get past the graphical style you are being closed minded, give it a chance, once you get into it, it's great.
In the years that come Windwaker will age gracefully, more than Twilight Princess.
BTW, Windwaker was highly touted in Japanese Famitsu magazine getting a perfect 40/40.
