I personally think that 2D Zelda is important because it gives us the "classic Zelda" option, which I prefer a lot more than the open-world/sandbox that they're doing with the 3D ones from now on. But I respect your opinion, especially because I honestly think SS is one of the best Zelda games ever. If that's not an unpopular opinion I don't know what is.

Skyward Sword was my favorite Zelda game up until a couple of months ago. It's just that, to me, 2D Zeldas just feel... obsolete. The 3D ones are just better (unlike say, Metroid, where there are vast gameplay differences between 2D and 3D), they have better dungeons and are just way more immersive and exciting - and now with Breath of the Wild, they even have better combat and exploration on top of that.

 

Classic Zelda could still exist in 3D form as a midterm between the formula of the older games and the all-new style of BotW - after all, if they just make every game from now on just like BotW, they would be falling into a formula again.

Having played only one 2D Zelda (That being ALBW), I totally get what you mean. I just want more of them because I think it's unlikely that they'd keep making classic 3D Zelda games now that BotW is a thing, but if they somehow managed to do that I'd love it. I do think that the next 3D Zelda will change a lot of stuff so it doesn't get stuck in a formula again, but we'll see.
