Well, a better Zelda game was released in 2010 on 360 and PS3 (Darksiders)and another better Zelda game released in 2010 just on PS3. 3D Dot Game Heroes. A year before SS. Hell TP was not the best Zelda game released in 2006. Okami. That happened on PS2. I honestly feel BOTW is the first Zelda since WW to be the best Zelda in its timeframe on a console. I get why SS was made. Series was too formulaic and maybe they felt they could not implement a big world they imagined with Wii hardware. Xenoblade showed them they could but it was too late by that point. So they had Monolith help them with BOTW world design. If people like SS. That's fine. With Wii, they probably felt they had 2 choices. The same type of world over again like TP or OoT. Or WW but in the sky and probably felt both would be not doing enough new ideas. SS was an experiment due to limitations. Monolith showed them they could do something else and thus BOTW on Wii U/Switch.

SS and LBW show they wanted to do something else but the hardware kept them shackled. Every series has a black sheep. Zelda is old enough to have more than a few.  Xenoblade has one already in just 3 games. (unless you count Torna as it's own game)

Zelda has 0 black sheep...okay maybe the CDI games.   Darksiders was okay, I played a few hours of it.  3D Dot game heroes was an excellent game and I enjoyed every minute of it, but every console Zelda game except SS is better than it.  Okami is fine, but overrated TP is so much better imo.
