WW accesible? Bullshit! OoT was more linear and accesible than WW annoying and tedious sailing. Also the sales from WW weren't as good as eveb Majora's mask which was more niche.
Since WW, zelda sales have been shrinking and now new audience has arrived. That "new" audience are actually the kids that cannopt play the original zelda because there are no maps or story or cinemas. We the old audiences that enjoyed the first one, the SNES one and even the GB one are waiting for a true zelda and so far it hasn't arrived.
The idea that Zelda belongs to the "hardcores" is stupid. The first zelda was aimed at both kids and adults. Zelda II was more difficuly which prompted Nintendo to make AlttP more easy and linear.
Funny how these pathetic excuse for journalists like ti twist facts and stories.
And no hype because there hasn't been more reasons to be hyped. But Nintendo has done GREATLY without it...so who cares?
