id rather they take lke 4-5 years to make the game quality rather than fart one out every 2 years and rush it

And yet one of the top 3 most popular games in the franchise took just a year when one of the most hated took 5... maybe they should learn to reuse a games engine and assets every now and then.

Those three can be easily explained. Link to the Past was simplistic in comparison to the other two. Ocarina of Time came out about 7 years after. Majora's Mask was largely based on Ocarina of Time.
