Three bad Zelda games in a row

This made me stop dead in my tracks.

What are these three bad Zelda games?? Like Inigo Montoya, "I must know."

@OP: Nintendo has been good to me for 29 years, so I don't have much to complain about. Probably the thing that pains me most is the loss of Rare, although there are reports that most of the brilliant minds behind the N64 magic had already left the company by 2002. Still, I wish Nintendo had somehow kept Banjo-Kazooie, Jet Force Gemini, Blast Corps, Conker, etc. It's a travesty that we might never see proper sequels to these games.

Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks and Skyward Sword. The former two shouldn't even be called Zelda games, because the combat aspect of the game has been turned into a PC-style game.

On topic: Nintendo abandoning the Wii, their most successful home console. Remember that scene in Braveheart where Wallace learns the identity of that "masked" man? There's nothing worse than the person you think you can count on betrays you. Third parties shunning the Wii was one thing, but Nintendo turning their back on the console was on a whole nother level.

Do many here feel this way? I saw Osed guessed at these three as well. I completely disagree. I've never played a single bad Zelda game, let alone three in a row. And the DS Zelda games and Skyward Sword are all excellent. If I were to single out a less-than-stellar Zelda experience it would be Four Swords Adventures, or maybe Zelda II. But even those are good games.

Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks are two of the very best DS games. They are well-crafted, accessible, intuitive, and use the DS hardware in creative, unusual ways. And Skyward Sword is probably the freshest, most contemporary, most important Zelda game produced in the past 13 years.
