The fairies had humanoid bodies going as far back as the first game. The switch in OoT was just for style. It would have been no more resource intensive to have a 2D humanoid sprite vs the 2D ball sprite, unless they wanted to have a ton of animations/emotes for it. In the end someone decided that a detailed sprite was too distracting for something that would spend a lot of time on camera. And it's main function was flying away to highlight stuff anyways, so a color changing dot was much more useful.

Given how Navi, and more so, Tatl actually move and talk to Link with some pretty good expression, I'd like to see them get an actual face to emote with one day. You could probably get a beloved fairy companion into a zelda game for once by basically stealing and inserting Puck from Berserk into one. Actually Puck is probably part of the inspiration for the fairies in OoT and MM at all.

>Final Fantasy IV opens with the protagonist slaughtering innocent villagers and stealing their crystal.
Not really, FFIV opens with Cecil brooding like a faggot on his airship, all the slaughter you talk about is not shown in any way, in fact Mysidia is immaculate when you go back to it.
>The story is sincere and serious, in spite of its simplicity.
Oh yeah, really serious when it doesn't even have the balls to kill off the cast, like FFII did.

By the way, nice job in completely ignoring FFIV's own jaibait, bikini semen demons, half naked shaolin monks, beta ninjas and Star Wars ripoffs in general, I guess it's truly a lot more mature than FFX, is it?
But I guess Tidus' story of overcoming his inferiority complex and dealing with the fact he was going to die together with his father at the end of the journey or all the other problems with Auron, the Al Bhed in general or Kimahri totally do not count because of one midboss and a slightly less generic setting?
No wonder you FF fans are such a joke, you're so stuck in your ivory towers you can't even see how your pathetic series hasn't changed outside of a very superficial aesthetic level, you're so devoured by your own bile and fanboyism you refuse to enjoy the very same things you enjoyed in other games just because they look slightly different.
