If you're going to count iOS games, may as well count Hyrule Warriors Legends and eShop re-releases of the older Zelda games too.

I'm talking about retail releases.

Sure, count them all if it makes you happy. But at that point you should compile complete lists for comparison.

Afterwards people will point out that VC releases had to be done for the sake of the service, plus Zelda games covered a wider range of playstyles than CoD. Then we move back to the original point which was that people consider CoD more milked than Zelda, and then we realize that CoD is the same thing every year. Unlike Zelda, it doesn't even need remakes to be a yearly thing.

But Zelda has become more than a yearly thing; by year's end, it'll have had 9 retail releases in 6 years. It's being churned out with a wanton abandon that would see other publishers get widely ridiculed, yet Nintendo seems to be getting a free pass.
