Mario is definitely a milked character, but Zelda?
If FinalFantasy only had the main games it wouldn't be a milked franchises. It's all the Remakes, spin offs etc.
Zelda has exactly 1 spin off: Crossbow Training. Metroid has only main games
By the way, I would personally kill the person in charge at Nintendo if I didn't get a new Zelda once every while. And the series has been consistently of the absolute highest possible quality. I don't think there's a series that has scored so high for all its games.
