The screenshot of "Zelda: Breath of the Wild " the author holds up as an exemplar looks unrealistically tone mapped to me. The "bad" screenshots in the lede look more natural and pleasing. Not realistic -- they're too stylized for my taste -- but the Zelda screenshot is simply unrealistic in a different direction.

This is an example of a phenomenon I've seen many times on the internet:

  - Person has a critique of certain media (books, authors, games etc). They are valid critiques. 
  - You ask what the person thinks is an example of media that doesn't have this problem, or the media they like. 
  - The examples given are not in the same league, or do the one thing better, and many other aspects poorly.
