My bad, I did overlook Splatoon, but while that game was certainly fresh and original, (not to mention excellent) I feel like BotW is even more impressive because of how ambitious it is and the daring liberties it takes with a franchise that's not only 30 years old but has such a large and passionate fan following. It takes guts to reinvent a series whose traditional form is held in almost religious regard.

After Splatoon and Zelda, now we know they will do something totally different with Mario also. It become very obvious that there change of generations in Nintendo currently, new young developers with fresh and different perspective coming at stage while old ones go retirement.

It's looking encouraging likely that they're finally starting to learn to take risks again. Honestly, the retirement of the old guard at Nintendo and the rise of the next generation of young devs needs to happen ASAP. Splatoon shows the promise of Nintendo's up and coming, but a lot about the Wii U also speaks to how out of touch the old guys have become. Hopefully Breath of the Wild and Splatoon are indicative of Nintendo's direction moving forward.
