Granted, I haven't played it beyond the demo, so it could just be Crypt of the Necrodance with a Zelda skin, meaning that Nintendo greenlighted something that was already finished and proven instead of taking a chance on a wild card. It's still pretty telling of how Nintendo is willing to let third parties use its IPs now, especially after those CDi games.

Do you think I didn't know about this game. Or do you think, maybe, a brand new 2D Zelda game, a mainline one no less, has more precedence to set than a spin-off rhythm game? 

Besides Minish Cap came out after the CDi games, so that's a weird comment anyways. 

Do you think I didn't know about this game.

Yes, I did. Because you said this:

I don't think something like a brand new 2D Zelda would be seen as small enough for Nintendo to give it to a third party company nowadays sadly, despite how cool another Capcom 2D Zelda would be.

Cadence of Hyrule is a brand new 2D Zelda that was given to a third party company. Calling it a rhythm game changes nothing when the primary gameplay is much closer to every other 2D Zelda sans AoL than a typical rhythm game like Rhythm Heaven or Harmoknight. You can turn off the gameplay that requires rhythm and musical timing entirely so that it plays more like a Mystery Dungeon game.

I forgot that The Minish Cap was developed by Flagship, but whatevs.
