Lol! Thanks for the explanation, and I hope I didn't sound arrogant or presumptious.
For WW, I'm not sure I understand what you mean about flattened cartoon effects. I saw a tech-demo at NJIT last week of cartoon gags remade in 3D. One of the ones I thought looked best was a flattened Daffy Duck rocking back and forth as he floated slowly to the ground (like a piece of paper or feather). So it can be done, but I don't know what specific elements of WW you mean. A lot of the cartoon effects were in 3D I thought, but I did misread your original comment on WW.
As for LttP in 3D, like I said and you restated so eloquently, I'm not a programmer, but I'm very 'into' 3D. I know about basically dual displaying an image to create 3D, but as that is what they did for Clash of the Titans with subpar results, I hope that isn't what Nintendo did for OoT. The new conversion process Hollywood studios are trying is basically the dual image trick, and then drawing in additional visual cues with CGI. I was thinking Nintendo, for whom quality is everything, would redraw/recode the game to be viewed in 3D, rather than go the cheap way which often leads to the cardboard cut-out look. And from the preliminary reviews of OoT, it seems they went the quality route.

That is an interesting quote and just goes to show that women really do control the world, even if they don't mean to... Miyamoto's wife inadvertently partially led to the greatest shift in video game history, by being disinterested in video games. What's MM though? That kind of came out of nowhere without any reference.
