I know I just love to complain about it, but honestly, feel very dissapointed with the franchise this gen. 3 remakes, a game that started as a remake and a spin-off. On top of that, the only new core Zelda game is delayed. Maybe those remakes are good financially, but as a fan I can't be happy as I expect new content.
I had great expectations of Nintendo this gen and looking at the first HD Zelda for Wii U was like a dream. The E3 2014 trailer looked so great, but I was blind when they showed us at the TGA an empty world. I tried to find excuses, but others were right: it was empty and not ready to be released.
For the first time in years I have to say that I have fear of what could be of the franchise. Aonuma is not capable in my eyes to keep in charge with the franchise. Development cycles are getting bigger and games still have big flaws.
As much as I love Skyward Sword, there's nothing there that I can say it needed 5 years of development. We know that it was because they decided to implement the Wii Motion Plus. But, thinking deeper, that doesn't makes sense. They should have released the original game and speed up for a new one, a la Majora's Mask, that implements the Motion Plus.
I'm not pretty confident of what could happen in the future. My most beloved franchise is getting surpassed by other franchises and rather than putting their best Nintendo is releasing remakes and delaying games.
I think I'm done with the franchise this gen and wait until someone else step in and try to evolve it rather than doing sidesteps.

The delays are frustrating, I agree. But it's hard for me to get angry with Aonuma when his most recent game, A Link Between Worlds, is, in my opinion, the best Zelda game in years. If EAD can push out a Zelda game of that quality every three years I'll be happy, remakes and delays notwithstanding.

I agree that A Link Between Worlds is a good game, but that game is based on one from 20 years ago. As much as there are new mechanics, this game didn't provide us with a new experience like The Wind Waker or Skyward Sword. It feels too familiar and reused.
But I disagree with your last point. I'm not happy if the only thing they can do every three years is releasing a new Skyward Sword game with the same overwolrd but only a couple of new (neat) features.
