So much misinformation in this thread.

Miyamoto is not in charge of EAD.

Miyamoto does not dictate everything Nintendo does. If he did, we'd be getting a Link to the Past remake and not A Link Between Worlds (I thought I had a link for this but haven't found it, shall look again later).

EDIT: To be clear, Takashi Tezuka manages Nintendo EAD Kyoto alongside Miyamoto. The different groups within EAD Kyoto are then managed by Hideki Konno, Hisashi Nogomo, Eiji Aonuma, Hiroyuki Kimura, and Tadashi Sugiyama. 

For EAD Tokyo, Katsuya Eguchi is General Manager, and Takao Shimizu and Yoshiaki Koizumi manage each group within EAD Tokyo. Koji Kondo manages EAD Sound in Kyoto, and Mahito Yokota EAD Sound Tokyo. This information is all available on Wikipedia, which while not gospel truth, is more accurate than assumptions. 

Nintendo's development structure is not as simple as Miyamoto says yes or no to a game and it happens or doesn't. There are a bunch of managers at development level, engineering level, and on the board that take responsibility for these decisions. Axing someone who still directly works on quality, successful titles like Luigi's Mansion 2, isn't going to change the corporate and creative culture at Nintendo.
