Because the same thing over and over gets boring.

Nintendo need retire some of their franchises for 10-15 years. Do something new, then when those get tired bring back the retired ones.

I wouldn't say "over and over" when it's been eight years since the last game in this particular branch of Zelda design. And I'm including Minish Cap and the Four Swords games, even though the former borrows a fair bit from 3D Zeldas, and the latter bear only a superficial resemblance to old-school Zelda. If this was another PH/ST-style game or Ocarina of Time Mk IV, I'd agree with you.

I do think that reusing the same overworld is quite lame, but at least they had the sense to pick the best and most compact overworld in the series to recycle.
