I don't like RTS.
If Zelda went RTS then screw Zelda.
Wind Waker to me was fresh at the time while at the core was the same gameplay...just a style change and from a horse to a sail boat.
I like how Okami took much of the Zelda formula and streamlined it more...Zelda when you entered a dungeon Zelda made you KNOW this was a dungeon and sometimes made me turn the game off because I didn't feel like it. Okami tricked me and next thing I knew I just finished a few and had a blast it was so seamless.
I don't think Zelda needs to go into the future or change genres or all waggle gesture touch screen stuff,just simple subtle changes often make all the difference for a fresh experience.
