At least something good comes from owning a Wii! :p
Though I think it's quite telling that you said they didn't look "too bad". I didn't mean to imply that they look terrible, but you have to remember that that was as good as graphics got at one point!
(Plus it's also things you'd only see in motion, like characters' faces when they talk or stiff animations - things that generally tend to age better when they're cartoony and intentionally exaggerated.)
Anyway, we're all going to play the next Zelda no matter what it looks like.
