I can't go a generation without a 3D Zelda no matter how fun top down Zeldas might be (actually enjoying ALBW).

Excluding the Super Nintendo, every Nintendo home console has had two mainline Zelda games. As Little Taco Commercial Girl once said in her infinite wisdom, "why don't we have both?"

And even though I was, like, thirteen back then, I remember people all over the Internet going all "oh, a game like New Super Mario Bros. Wii will never sell on a home console", and "this looks like a lazy DS port, the home consoles should be reserved for proper 3D Mario games". I'm just throwing that out there.

Just in case I wasn't clear enough, I fully endorse the OP's suggestion. I mean, christ, so far there have been two traditional top-down Zeldas on the home consoles. The last on was in 1992. That ain't right.

1. Zelda is not Mario not even close, it wouldnt have the same effect two

2. 3d Zelda is actually MORE popular than 2d Zelda despite what some might want to believe, the best selling Zelda is a 3d one OOT

3.Why do we NEED a 2d Zelda on a home console? What will it being on the home console add to the experience that couldnt be done on the portable, its not like their is a Multiplayer mode where people could gather around the TV to better ultilize, serious question not trying to be a dick

 

I dont see Ninty doing this, they still need to sell people on the gamepad and i dont think a 2d Zelda would really utilize it, but i like the idea that someone said before have it 3d but use the gamepad as map and it will be in 2d. Dont think Ninty can pull that off though, hell i dont think anyone can pull that off.

Yeah, you can't compare Mario and Zelda when it comes to this. Zelda is also supposed to show us what a Wii U can do, and a 2D Zelda wouldn't be capable of doing that. 

 

Unless you're counting the remakes of OOT the best selling is actually TP, at least if you add up the numbers of the gamecube and the WIi version. Doesn't matter though, just another game that have sold more than all the 2D Zeldas. We already know that the realistic Zeldas sells the most, and Nintendo needs that now. 2D Zelda on handhelds is fine, but they need that 3D on homeconsoles.
