You seem to be really focused on this fact
This is an interview from 2004, where he talks about something even further in the past. He also says he never thought he'd be making games similar to that, meaning he's changed his mind. He also mentions in that interview that A Link to the Past is what got him into Zelda, a game very similar in style to the original Zelda, just more refined.
The title of the link is also "Aonuma hates zelda", which is just horrible clickbait and the entire article just reads like a disgruntled entitled fanboy who didn't get what he wanted.
On a different note, Aonuma was also director on Ocarina of Time. So why does he get the blame for Majora's Mask (whatever is even to blame) and not the praise on Ocarina of Time. Miyamoto was producer on all these games.
He was also Franchise Supervisor on Hyrule Warriors, which had an amazing amount of fan service and incredible throwbacks to the original Zelda.

In Ocarina he's in charge of Water Temple.
Aonuma is Shigeru'protegee. Shiggy is responsible for employee Aonuma. He sees himself on Aonuma. But Aonuma is not at the same level.

I never joined in on the Water Temple hate. It was the most difficult one for sure, not a bad one in my eyes at all. The design is just insane. I doubt most of the people complaining about it these days have even played it.
Aonuma joined Nintendo in 1988, before he played any video games at all. Since then he has been involved in some of my favourite games of all time. Nintendo saw something in him, and rightfully so.
You're actually bringing something up from over 30 years ago now, come join us in the present.
