Nintendo has been doing this since the SNES. Did you not play Zelda II: The Adventure of Link? It was WAY too hard and therefore not nearly as popular. After that debacle, Nintendo started making their franchises much more accessible.
Look at Ocarina of Time. It was one of the most accessible games ever made. There were no really difficult fights and the puzzles were mostly straightforward. With a little help with the harder puzzles, a 4 year old could beat the game. Even though it was accessible, it was also one of the best games of all time.
Relax.
