I'm not being anti-zelda or anything, but Super Mario Bros. for the NES reintroduced video games after the Video Game Crash of 1983. The graphics are suckish by today's standards, but it is the most popular game of all time with over 40.3 million copies sold on every format it has ever appeared on (I might have virtual consoled it). Same for first Zelda. It dropped you in a massive overworld, and people were clueless as what to do with the wide open space. It is still a cool game to millions today, and a lot of video games were made up with TLOZ, only with wireframe and polygons, not sprites, unless certain occasions.

As quite a few people before me have said, the game is older and was for the N64, thus the graphics obviously won't be nearly as good. OoT was considered to have some of the best graphics back in the day.

^ You've got that right, and not to mention was a milestone for the Legend of Zelda series going 3-Dimensional.

The thing with graphics, is, like any other software, they are in a constant state of evolment, and no matter how advanced they get, there's always going to be something more advanced.
So...A game is only as good as its story, and of course, creativity.

I don't actually care about the graphics tough
but I still don't get why some people (Like my cousin) doesn't Like to play OoT or TP because the graphics where kinda bad, that's foolishness.

You are kidding right? Melee had great graphics but Twilight Princess looked a lot better. Details, effects and other showcases of 6 years of working on GameCube tech, made for one of the best looking games on the system, second to maybe Resident Evil 4.

Graphics are totally irrelevant to me if I can comprehend major things around you (i.e. stairs, or platforms).
Really, when I sit and think about it, some of the most enjoyable games I've encountered were dreadful in the graphics department. I am more concerned with game play and a fantastic storyline. If I can find that, even in a game with graphics you'd encounter within the Nintendo Entertainment System, what matters is that it is a good game, despite whatever the graphics are.

Actually... TP had more square edges then SSBM. But its not fair to compare a small game like SMBB to a big game like TP.
Still. TP graphics arent really that good compared to other NGC games.
And like others said. Graphics arent everything. The gameplay is what matters for me.
Whether it was had more square edges or not, TP boasted better details, better effects, pushed more polygons and a strong grasp of the technology at hand by the Zelda team. To claim that TP isn't one the GCNs best looking late gen games is insane.
