With Flagship as a precedent, I don't mind the idea of another studio trying their hand at Zelda. My inquiry is, rather, what could we expect Retro to bring to the table? Metroid Prime was a fresh start for the series, but the same could be said for Other M. Donkey Kong Returns is simply a new Donkey Kong of the same mold as the original. Could we, then, trust them to bring a 'western perspective' - whatever that means - to Zelda? And what, if this were to happen, would that entail?
I have long been clamoring for the franchise to get away from 'innocent boy turned hero' archetype. It's not bad, but it is something we have come to expect - in spite of the original not following that structure. If Retro were to bring something new in that regard, I would be all for it.
Still, I could be fruitful to examine what we actually expect from Retro. Might give a few people new perspectives on themselves and the series.
