No, I was serious. The games I mentioned were such butcherings of Zelda that Nintendo hasn't allowed a new 2D Zelda game since then. The only worthwhile legacy they left behind was being used in YouTube Poops. |
Oracle of Ages, Oracle of Seasons, The Minish Cap, Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks and A Link Between Worlds. So there has been a bunch of new 2D Zelda games since the Philips games. Not on home consoles, but the question of home console or handheld is irrelevant in the context of the conversation anyway.
The CD-i Zelda games have had zero influence on what Nintendo does, with the exception of Nintendo never licensing any of their IPs to someone else without the role of a supervisor since then.
Thinking about this again, I now realize that 2D might mean only sidescrolling like Zelda 2 to you. But top-down is also 2D and it is what super_etecoon also included when he said 2D Zelda.
Legend11 correctly predicted that GTA IV will outsell Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I was wrong.
