everybody is happy!

That would require weird design compromises, though. Could any of the 3D Zelda games be played top-down as-is?

World design would have to conform to meet both, which could create something of an abomination.

You can try it on windwaker by moving the camera angle in such way. However, I think only few parts of the game allowed it like the spider and snake ganon puppets. Those fights can be done with a bird eye angle and they look pretty impressive that way.

Hmm, i never tried the snake top-down.

Would probably make it much easier (though i never had the hardest time with that fight, those shots are tough to pull off from Link's view).
