#34 In my opinion, this is the last good handheld game from this Nintendo franchise, and it's not even developed by Nintendo. Newer installments have taking a different direction with art style, and actually branches of the overall plot.

Zelda: Minish Cap?

Close enough.

The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons/Ages

Honestly I feel handheld Zelda's just aren't what they used to be. Link's Awakening and OoS/OoA felt like the last Zelda games which had some thought put into them. Minish cap is pretty silly, and Phantom Hourglass needlessly follows the cell shaded Wind Waker look, despite most fans critisizing the art style. Spirit Tracks I've been told is a whole different game, and now we have A Link Between Worlds, which again needlessly follows a cell shaded animation.

OoA/OoT feel like the last "mature" handheld Zelda's, and IMO handheld devices aren't powerful enough yet to benefit from the cell shaded look Wind Waker had. So whenever I see a new Zelda, it always feels like a low budget game to me.
