This is interesting, makes me think. Let's recap, ignoring VC releases (they'll more or less cancel each other out anyway):

2016-2011:

Zelda U-2016, TPHD-2016, Hyrule Warriors Legends-2016, Triforce Heroes-2015, MM3D-2015, Hyrule Warriors-2014, ALBW-2013, WWHD-2013, SS-2011, OoT3D-2011, FSae-2011.

11 releases. Now let's see how far I'll come going 11 releases before that, ignoring the GC collectors disc because that wasn't released at retail and the Tingle games since the first was only in JP and EU and the second only in JP. Now:

ST-2009, PH-2007, Link's Crossbow Training-2007, TPgc-2006, TPwii-2006, FSA-2004, TMC-2003, WW-2002, ALttP/FS-2002, MM-2000, OoA-2000.

That's 2011-2000, the next game would be OoS in 2000 and OoT in 1998. 11 years, so they basically crancked up production a hundred percent due to these remakes and remasters. There's four main series, new and original games in the period from 2016-2011, 9 in the period 2011-2000, keeping the ratio on new games fairly consistent. Anyone do with this information what they will.

We don't really know if Zelda U is coming this year, and we can't even be certain its platform. I also mentioned every game they rereleased this gen, so I don't see what the problem is? Are we in agreement, because you yourself demonstrated how ridiculous this is getting. Reread the list of zelda games that have come out this gen and then report back.

This thread is honestly a horrible mess.

It doesn't help that the OP is just a series of moving goalposts ("A Link Between Worlds doesn't count because I said so!" isn't a valid reason to discredit it), but that also doesn't excuse some of the piss poor responses in this thread.

A "poor" thread does not give you the excuse to break the rules. And off the top of my head I'm seeing at least half a dozen posts that have broken a rule in here.

Just unacceptable guys, on all fronts. I don't have time do deal with this so I'll be forwarding it to the rest of the mod team and see what they do with this.

But for now, locking.
