Does Nintendo get too extremely judged for sticking to a formula with their franchises?

My core issue with Zelda is the items.

In OoT you had cool weapons, like Din's Fire and the Ice Aroow. In subsequent games, they just became tools to solve specific puzzles.

I kinda agree with you, but come on the ice arrows were useless in OoT

Turning enemies into ice was fun. After I got it, I used it more than the flame arrow to kill foes quickly from far.
