As a result the latest Zeldas have a number of issues:

"-The emphasis on puzzles as the substance of the game…
-Linearity…
-The joke called the combat system and how little combat is in Zelda…
-Too much dialogue…
-Bad storylines or narratives in general…"

You quoted this.. who said this? Zelda game shave some of the best storylines around.

Actually, Zelda games have only had about two or three storylines.  Link's Awakening, Majora's Mask... And all the rest where Link saves Hyrule and Zelda from Ganon.

It's like, every 4 years, Hitler comes back, kills Jews, kidnaps Europe--and the US, England, and Russia have to assemble the Triforce again to beat him.  

Yup, going by this, All shakespeare wrote about was some people, and he killed them all off at the end, save 1 to tell the stor.y There, I saved you from ever having to read Shakespeare. =P

OOT had a great storyline, the parallels of 7 years, the relationships and how they were affected over time, the ravaging of the lands that took place.

Twillight Princess and the directly affected variants of the shadow world and the light world, the ongloing story of link's girlfriend (whatever her name was -Ilya?) etc.

The only one that had a pretty meh storyline was Wind Waker.
