Should Nintendo Focus On More Popular Genres?

What's wrong with Aonuma? He directed all the modern Zelda games.

He's not only one to blame of course, but he turned what used to be open-world exploration/sword fighting game into puzzle solving adventure, because he sucked at original Zelda and he likes puzzles.

I always have this idea that he must've really liked original Tomb Raiders, since when I enter Aonuma's temples I feel like playing old Lara Croft games, with less platforming.

Now, don't get me wrong, I like puzzles, FP puzzle solving adventures are one of my most cherished genres, I like when RPGs have them too, and I even, reasonably, like his Zeldas, but he transformed Zelda way too much from what it was to his own liking - maybe Zelda U will be more balanced in that regard, but I too think that Nintendo needs someone new for Zelda.

Exactly. Add in there that he takes too long to develop a game and you have the complete equation.

I think from Zelda NES to Majora's Mask every game has the same Zelda feel of exploration and adventure, something that the modern Zeldas lack.
