Thank god. TP is the worst 3D Zelda.

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Fortunately, 8.5 million copies and universal critical acclaim beg to differ, and considering how "well" SS sold, they just might get their heads out of their collective asses and figure out how they can repeat TWP success.

Again, Aonuma explicitely stated that Zelda U was taking inspiration from games Link WW and ALBW, and that the game would not look like TP or SS. He doesn't pander to non-fans. Unique style, he says. He's even explicitly expressed disappointment at how TP turned out and blames it on the ultra realistic direction it went for, something he says was solely done because of fan reaction to WWs art style. SS's drastically different pallet is a direct reation to his disappointment in TP. He doesn't want to make the game you want to play. He has gone on record saying he will only make the game he wants to create now, because Zelda is "his game." And more power to him. TP and SS were definitely the weakest entries, and it's because he was trying to please non fans, instead of doing his own thing.

Oh boy...and again, oh boy.

This is exact reason why Zelda started going to shit in the first place, cause Aonuma wanted to make something that Zelda was not originally. And then when he actually made something that fans want, and it sold well, he decided to stop listening to fans, again.

 

As much as I dislike Malstrom (most of the times), he nailed both Aonuma and fans like you perfectly.
