Errr Zelda? Those games arent too shabby

Well I wouldnt say the Zelda games have been dumbed down.

Most of the games came back to the way they were in the 90's. And mainly they are not in par with what is done in gaming nowadays.

Mario 3D world  and New Super mario are dumbed down in comparison to 64/sunshine/galaxy
Starfox Zero, went back to Starfox 64, and forgot the improvements made in assault.

Skyward Sword, Zelda Triforce heroes

Metroid Other M threw out the exploration, then we got Federation Forces.

Mario Tennis Ultra Smash...

I can think of only two games that really improved on their formula or at least were as good, Mario Kart 8 (thanks to cheap DLC and 200cc mode) and Pikmin 3.

Otherwise, everything else was inferior, dumbed down, made cuter. Nintendo clearly isn't moving forward, they are just trying to use the nostalgia factor, and make everything have a broader appeal.

But like I said, when you try to make all your games for everyone, you're not making games for anyone. Evertyhing feels diluted, flavorless.
