Zelda franchise declining?

[CHYUII]

Loved your comments and I think that you are right- it did sale very well for a launch title and also one must consider that sales are still trinkling in. How much is it selling now in Japan? I don't own a Wii so I can't comment on it's level of difficulty but if it's like WW I can understand your point. I don't know about you but in WW even though I rarely died (I did a lot of crazy things) I thought some of the things that I had to do were challenging. So although I could "live", there were some puzzle and challenges that seemed impossible. I hated leaping out of those plants mouths... And then there were some puzzles and secrets that took me a while to find. As long as I don't have to manage the direction of the wind I can handle anything TP can through at me (I hated sailing). But since I have heard many a complaint on difficulty, it wouldn't kill them to add a hard setting... I mean Fire Emblem for GC had 4 or 5 setting so why can't Zelda. Also I must add that sometime I just like to find out what's going to happen next. I am currently playing Fire Emblem on easy just so that I can read the story... {and not worry or mourn my allies). Even on easy, if you get careless you can get one of you characters killed and unlike most games when they die they stay dead. I am with you, I wish that they would make another Zelda just like the very first. Heck, they could keep the same weapons just change up the maps a bit over and under and hide the weapons and I am golden. ....I hope the next Zelda will not suffer from Miyamoto's doubts. PS Why can't Nintendo make a Halo type game? Use Mario Characters, and have it so you can make you characters off of all the races in the Kingdom. There doesn't have to be blood and gore, just a thrill.
