When there's no cheese in a burger, it shouldn't be called a cheeseburger. Likewise, if sword combat takes the backseat in a Zelda game, perhaps it shouldn't be called a Zelda game anymore. In an earlier post I reminded you that you disregarded Other M as a Metroid game. I don't remember the exact details, but you had your reasons. Now the question is what makes your Metroid case different from my Zelda case?
The artstyle of a game is indeed an extreme example and really doesn't hold water, because the artworks for the Zelda series have been so diverse over the years. There's no clear definition of how Zelda has to look like other than Japanese and not some gritty Western style.
The reason why this sort of entitlement is more prevalent in Zelda fans is obviously because the series was/is able to generate a stronger emotional response in the player than most other series.

I don't disavow Other M as a Metroid game. It is a Metroid game. It's an abominable Metroid game that never should have been made and I tend to express my displeasure with it by jokingly pretending that it doesn't exist, but it is still a Metroid game and I have to acknowledge it as a smoking black mark on the otherwise phenomenal record of one of the best game series ever made.
That's the difference. My dislike is just dislike.
And yes, Zelda fans react this way because they are more affected by these games, which is because Zelda games are the best games. But they still react this way. That's all I was saying. I do not know what this argument is about.

I disgree with that. Good games nontheless though.
