TP sucks. Wind Waker had islands to discover.  Also was not giving me a tutorial in the final areas of the game. If you remove a huge aspect of a series. That's the opposite of expanding. Enjoy it all you want. No one is saying you can't, It's still a bad Zelda game. Zelda series is just up and down. Some great. Some good. Some mediocre and just some plain bad games like any series.

If you take away one aspect and add another two, are you expanding? From that point of view, I think it's pretty simple math.

Either way, yeah, Skyward Sword didn't expand the series into any new territory, it brought nothing new other than its gimmicky controls. The series' expansion happened over the years and over the games, but most notably A Link to the Past and Ocarina of Time. Skyward Sword just focused on those elements (all of them other than exploration) and made them as good as ever.

Unneeded aspects that hold the series back. Even if it does add anything it's one step forward and  3 steps back.
