Nintendo should have done the smart thing and not attached the "Legend of Zelda" name to this game. Would have saved them a lot of crap and everyone else a lot of breath. Whatever happened to Aonuma's saying they didn't want to put that name to a mere spin-off because it would people look at said spin-off differently and compare it to real Zelda games. Guess what happened now. At least they proved themselves right so there's that.
On the upside, if we're going to consider this game a spin-off despite it's name I can go ahead and ignore the Four Swords trilogy (or at least the two games called FS) as being non-canon or 'in the timeline' as well!
