Those remakes weren't done of thin air. It needed Aonuma to be looking at those. As the person in charge of the franchise he has to supervise. Or do you really believe they just make the games and get released? No. He has to look at it. That's what some of us complain, as all that time invested in those remakes and spin offs can affect the developement, like Minish Cap to Twilight Princess back in 2005.

Yes because a remake, which is keeping the same looking world (just better visuals) and the same story and the same characters (just more detailed) really is going to require anyone from the original. Aonuma led that, probably, like producers are involved in movies (a fancy name attached to it to make it sell better). It's not like you need an incredibly bright guy to lead a team of developers to take a previous game and make it look shinier, but keep everything else the same (or 97% of it).

Yet, he has to spend time and even more with the changes they made, like the Majora's Mask changes or the cut dungeon for Hyrule Warriors (a traditional dungeon was developed for Hyrule Warriors).
He has to look for 8 games before Zelda HD this gen. That is a lot of games.

The changes made to MM are extremely tiny by comparison to the work that goes into making a brand new game. All remakes are a in comparison to new games in terms of resources/personnel required. And HW was made by a non Nintendo team that has great experience in making those type of games. I doubt whatever he contributed in that was much.
Yea there are a lot of games he has worked on as a "overseer" but a lot doesn't mean a large % of his time. Each game could be 3% of his time, not much.
