why does everything have to look like plastic ? I dig the echo mechanic but the art direction totally rebuffs me

This recycles the graphics from the Link's Awakening remake, for which it was already divisive, yeah.

OTOH, it's a great way to make it look teensy-tiny, especially with the built-in tilt-shift.

I don't know the context. I get that consistency can be important. It would be so easy however to give it a beautiful cell shaded treatment, the toy look would lend itself well to it

To my eyes, Pokemon also went clay/plastic when they moved from 3DS (USUM) to Switch. I hope Nintendo moves on from this look. I want to see something in the style of Windwaker, personally.
