It means bemoaning the death of a franchise you haven't played in a decade comes across as disingenuous.

Yeah I know how bad it sounds, but I bought the N64 only for Zelda and I intended to buy a Gamecube for Wind waker too but it looked cartoon and then I intended to buy a Wii for Twilight Princess but because I was so busy with HD and PC gaming I decided to wait for the "real" current gen Zelda and then at E3 I was just so underwhelmed.

I watched them all on YouTube though. As an outside observer rather than a true Zelda fan my evaluation is that the franchise is stagnating and losing relevance.

You're drawing a false dichotomy here; you are an outside observer, not in contrast to "true Zelda fans" (I am probably not one) but to people who play the games.

How seriously would you take me if I watched Youtube footage of Elder Scrolls games and said the same thing about them?

Anyway, look

There's no good reason not to get Twilight Princess. At this point you're making excuses. If you want to play Zelda, play it. But you don't! So you have no perspective to say what's really wrong with the series, just what keeps you from playing it.
