Look how disgustingly over-detailed his hat is. Mark from ElectricUnderground released a video on the Star Fox remake recently and he mentioned how readability always gets shoved aside for detail and aesthetics in games nowadays, so you keep having this horror vacui-like art styles in these remakes when they should know better. But it's superficially more impressive in a trailer to add shit like this, so they keep doing it.

The quest log they added to the pause menu is basically this.
Why is Link wearing a wrinkled jalapeño on his head!?!
matches the one in his pants
Don't sexualize Young Link.
Old Link (17) is fair game.
i have never known link's age and i'm not going to start now
In order to defeat the paedophiles I have researched the exact ages of every Nintendo character.
Edit: people are DMing me questions already answered by this post.
My uncle at Nintendo forgot how to do fabric textures.
The texture looks like those corn sacks made of plastic
Antialiasing/supersampling isn't up to snuff for this level of detail yet though so instead you get disgustingly grainy look on the screen too from little bits like this. Imagine how amazing even the 3DS remake would look up-resolutioned on a 4K screen by comparison where they weren't adding chintz to every single character model.
Reminds me of the XBox era of games that just crammed unnecessary bumping literally everywhere.
nintendo graphics hardware is just catching up so they gotta show it off too.
