If they don't reuse the Zelda U assets and engine, they are going to need another four-five years to release a new Zelda (or even more, given that the tech allows for bigger and more complex worlds and mechanics). That would be really worrying, specially with all the delays Nintendo takes with Zelda. Fans would not like having only two Zelda games per decade, even if they try to fill the space with spinoffs and remakes.

 

True. But I guess that'll be the case. 

Regarding the spin offs/remakes I think they aren't enough to please fans because honestly they are not that great. They are all solid atempts, but nothing groundbreaking. If they did a legimitimate spin off, with AAA aspect, I'm sure people would be satisfied and wait patiently. For one I'd love a spin off where you'd play as Princess Zelda, or even a hack n slash (in the soul of Platinum Games' games) featuring Impa mixed with some stealth mechanics.

My ideal Zelda spinoff would be a 2 player co-op game. One player controls Link (uses items and tunics, better with sword) and the other one controls Zelda (uses all kinds of magic, better with archery). A more linear experience to avoid travelling in an open world with two people, just go from dungeon to dungeon, all the puzzles and bosses need collaboration to be completed. Less focus on exploration and more in character interaction (combat combos with both characters, competition similar to that on FourSwords, cutseces and ingame dialogue between them, voice chat during gameplay...).  It would be similar to Portal 2 co-op, but with Zelda.
