Wow, quite a deal there. Still, I'm not into pre-ordering games.
As for the graphics, how shallow can you get? Remember, it is a FANTASY series, like Mario in many ways, and isn't supposed to be realistic. I think Shigeru Miyamoto (designer of Zelda, Mario, Pikmin, etc.) sees this as closer to his original vision of the series. I personally think the cel-shaded graphics are neet.
