The "traditional" mindset is just an alibi to handwave away major releases people don't want to count, as if Hyrule Warriors, OoT3D, MM3D, and WWHD weren't the most important releases of their consoles at the time. "No, it's not an annual franchise, unless you count all the games that make it an annual franchise." |
Personally, yeah, I think they should be counted too. Especially while those remakes and spin-offs are being sold at full price, and are being marketed as major releases.
I do believe there's a difference between Zelda and what people usually imagine when you say 'anualized franchise', but the term does technically still fit.
