I'm sorry khuutra, I don't mean to attack zelda. It's just those last pictures look extremely similar, and the first three do not.

Helios really covered it better than I can: all you did was bring up a question of perspective, which is needlessly reductive and too seriously narrows the discussion.

How much Zelda have you played?

I don't really know how I can prove it, but I've played:

Zelda, Link, Link to the past,briefly 4 swords, spirit tracks (abandoned for boredom), Ocarina, MAjoras mask, Wind waker (1st half of game because my ex-friend stole my gamecube for coke-money), part of twilight princess.

The reason it's harder to believe you is due to the fact that you generalize the games so much and it seems more for face value than actually playing them since anyone that played OoT knows that Majoras Mask does not fit the OoT feeling at all, in fact TWW is more or less Majoras Mask with a different tone to it and a vastly bigger world.  TP was a bit of OoT with a lot of returning elements of LttP even a lot of enemies returning, the only issue being the game was a tad easy so parts that would seem new and fresh with new challenge felt stale cause you beat bosses with 3 hits with a bow and a couple of sword swipes which was actually hard on the N64 before many control issues of the early 3D days were nailed down.

As for Spirit Tracks that's really funny since Spirit Tracks has quite possibly some of the most unique puzzles in the entire series with a good bit of challenge to boot.  

If the series is played out or however you put... why post about it?  I loved Whipeout in the PS1 era... now I really don't care for it... I don't go into Whipeout threads going "man I played a lot of the whipeouts and I just think the series is played out its like the original whipeout every time (which is how I feel when I play)"  It's just a mark of someone that really has grown out of a series typically also stops talking about it as well since they don't care... or at least that's what mature people do...
