Let's see now, in the past 10 years since Twilight Princess we had:
2007 - Phantom Hourglass - Never played it, so I can't comment, but it sold over 5 million and word of mouth leans slightly towards the positive side, though opinions I've heard are overall mixed.
2009 - Spirit Tracks - Never played it, but opinions were a little more positive than Phantom Hourglass, = 3.3 million sales.
2011 - Skyward Sword - I HAVE played it. And opinions were also mostly positive, close to 4 million sales... (And my Absolute Favorite Video Game of All-Time!)
2013 - A Link Between Worlds - A game that is universally loved and hailed as one of the greatest 2D Zeldas of all-time, and sold over 3 million.
Now we've got Breath of the Wild coming, and based on appearance and pre-reception, if it lives up to expectations and delivers, it could very well dethrone Ocarina of Time as the widely considered, greatest Zelda game ever made.

Sooooo. No, Zelda is FAAARRRR from dead.
Try again, Mr. President-Elect.

Homestly this is the first Zelda game I'm actually looking forward to in a LOOOOONG time, so that's one thing Breath Of The Wild has going for it.

Looks like Nintendo is finally going to Make Zelda Great Again!

Not sure if serious... The Zelda series has been, and is still, stellar.

I feel like making threads like these should be a bannable offense.

Cut taxes in Hyrule.

Negotiate better trade deals with other towns.

Lift restrictions on the town square.

Keep 1400 blacksmith jobs from moving to another kingdom.

SS was a better game that TP.

Zelda is very much alive....

LOL, nice post

Wind Waker was great
Minish Cap was great

Twilight Princess was good, but not great
Phantom Hourglass was good too
Skyward Sword was ok

SpiritTracks was a big pile of feces
A link between world was ok

I too, am worried about the Zelda series, but I have hope for Breath of the Wild, they made a lot of changes, enough so that this zelda could be the first one since Wind Waker to feel new.

Also, they pushed it back so many times, they had more than enough time to polish it, last time a Zelda game was pushed back that much was OOT, and it's one of the most important game of all time.

Yes, Zelda is dead. That is why Breath of the Wild is only the #1 most anticipated game of 2017.

Don't visit the IGN Zelda boards anytime soon. Bringing the game up there will get you run out of town on a flaming wheeled effigy of Fi.
