I disagree. Zelda 1 was certainly an achievement during its time, but Zelda 2 was way better, then Link to the Past + Links Awakening were way better than that, then Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask were way better than that. It is just that the games stopped getting better, and Wind Waker was a huge decline from Majora's Mask (particularly the boring Triforce piece collect segment that made the game unfinishable), and Twilight Princess was an even further decline (barely playable due to the boring Twilight portions, and that stupid Moon Tear collection where you needed to get all of these items in locations with no context, just to get into a dungeon - the game was unplayable in the portion before going to the Sky City or whatever) although I found Skyward Sword to be way better than Wind Waker or Twilight Princess. So I think the series in back on the way up.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
