>hey you know that universally acclaimed cool dark fantasy adventure that we showed off a 6th gen recreation of at the last Gamecube demonstration
>let's not do that
>instead show stupid Looney Tunes shit
>surprised the audience is at best ambivalent on it
The Gamecube never really had a chance but it was utterly kneecapped at Space World 2001. Even in an era of a far less decentralized internet and no universal video platform since Youtube was still years away, you could feel the hype dissipating.
It's not even bright colors, it's the whole art style in general. BOTW/TOTK are just as colorful but keeping Link a lean adult with more conventional anime proportions was far more appealing to the audience at large and that's why it's the sales apex of the franchise, only followed by Twilight Princess, which was fundamentally a violent overcorrection to WW's tepid reception.
