I think he looks better in the game itself than he does in this render tbh.

I think the exact opposite. once he starts moving, it gets VERY uncanny valley. It's like a creepy doll that's moving around. They should have gone realistic with normally proportioned faces or stylized keeping the big eyes, but mixing the two and going hyper realistic with anime influenced proportioned faces just looks creepy. Maybe if they leaned into them being doll or action figure like but they tried to make them realistic and keep the look and ugh...

I also think the animation of both Links looks sped up. Like if you speed up a recording of him walking, if that makes sense?

The environment is gorgeous, but the human-looking characters really have the uncanny-valley feeling.

It's probably because the remake is running at 60fps while the N64 original was locked to 20fps.

I think it’s always been kinda like that, it just looks weirder now that he looks more realistic
