MDickie is the undisputed master of bad graphics. No matter the screenshot, you can always tell whether the game is his own or not.
Also in general MDickie's games are in the terrible and terribly fun territory because they really put you into the mind of a psychopath, just into different eras.

It was ultimately useless however. The enemy's all consisted of the same "don't swing this way" puzzle and it made the gameplay hell because it was forced into every fucking nook they could find. It nearly broke my wrists when I dived on my bird.

>The art for everything is pretty good

The art had a decent color design but it was ruined by the model work.

No they wern't. Play PH or MM for decent characters. Zelda was generic anime trash and Groose was decent but nothing special. Which meant he was the best part of the game.
>ungeons and the areas outside them can be a slog at times but they still have the basic elements of action-adventure games that makes them enjoyable
They were all slogs. And they were all tedious. The map design in the games are incredibly linear and incredibly fucking frustrating because they all needed to be traveled to via bird. And when you were down you realized that is wasn't a good idea for Nintendo to replace charge or epona with a weak ass sprint mechanic.

I hate the art direction of every 3D Zelda game. They can't make up their mind whether the game has realistic or cartoon proportions. Twilight Princess is the worst offender in the series because there are more polygons and the most realistic textures in the series. Midna doesn't look exactly like a person, but she looks like she belongs there. Even her imp form doesn't feel totally out of place in the game. Then you get to fucking Jaggle.

overall I think some of the lesser-impostant NPC designs were awful but the world design was top notch. There's a line to be crossed between judging a games artstyle and nitpicking at general limitations of the time. And like I already said, the majority of games from this era that tried going for a photorealistic look (or at least somewhere in-between like Zeldo) aren't going to age good.
I think Shenmue looks fantastic for example, but others would say the world looks ugly while the character models look good

I think Skyward Sword looks better, simply because it went for more of a watercolour look, and BOTW is probably the best of the 3D Zelda games since it's the closest an actual cartoon with the stupid Nickelodeon proportions of Wind Waker characters.
Ideally a 3D Zelda game would look like this art from the ALTTP manual. The shading techniques are there, you wouldn't even need particularly high polygon counts.

It is. Bunch of modernist, materialist egalitarians over there. Just a bunch of communists and anarchists that happen to be right as far as race is concerned. Other than that, they behave pretty much like niggers (and encourage whites to live like niggers) and kikes, and are also completely manipulated by the actual kikes. People that don't deserve to be white. Still part of the worst rabble that the white race has ever offered in its entire history, except for the extreme left. A bunch of uncultured plebs that know nothing of their own culture and history. Essentially just another part of the problem. Nothing to do with any classical, traditional philosophies of inequality. Hitler himself was a very moderate right-winger, believing in equality to some extent. Maybe even on the left. Goebbels represents the best that his movement had to offer. The majority of them were scum with no culture (and that has always been the case, even in the best civilizations in history).
There are very few real traditionalists out there. A lot of them are dying of old age. I have talked to a few (and a few younger people that seem to be going in that direction) before on /pol/, and they have always been the minority, but I am sure that all of them have left by now.

That's VP 2 Silmeria.

I live in a community with a very low Black population and yet anytime I hear about someone's bike being stolen, it's always a nigger that did it. I personally had the experience of seeing niggers walk up to my bike and stare at it like it was a crack rock on wheels when I had it chained outside a restaurant. Mind you, this is with a very low % of the population being niggers. I can't imagine how horrible it must be to have to actually live with a large numbers of niggers. Talk about a hellish nightmare. It's no wonder niggers have a higher survival rate on a battlefield in Iraq then in the hood.

Chaos Theory looked amazing for its time. I think it's aged better than most of the "graphically intensive" games from its era.

Play it. It's one of the best stealth games ever. In fact, I'd argue that it's second only to Thief II.
