was there ever a time when gamers liked secrecy? cause i doubt it. I think some people dealt with it from Ninty cause thats just how they did things, but the way things are now, i think its less tolerated.

I don't know if there ever was, but it's certainly less tolerated today.

Gamers can't stay excited for almost a year of nothing. Hype dies fast, and needs to be regularly replenished. Sony gets this. Microsoft gets this. Games like Uncharted 4 recieve new material rolled out every few months to sustain the hype train.

Nintendo should be doing the same thing with Zelda. Instead, they give it a little push, then sit back and let it run out of momentum and grind to a halt. I'm not sure I can ever remember there being less hype for a Zelda game a year out.

One does not simply lose hype for Zelda.

Mainstream gamers do. 

Nintendo fans like us often seem to forget that we're a minority. Sure, we may get hyped over 13 seconds of footage in a year, but most gamers don't.

Zelda isn't even on the radar for your average gamer in December 2015.
