#35: The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim. Second hint made me think of it, and then I could reverse engineer the first hint.

#34: Looks Links head like a melon? But yeah, Wind Waker is definitely a stylistic deviation from previous entries.

#30: Ico?

All correct!

His head does not really look like a melon, but it is big and round.

Correct!

The first hint is using (almost) synonyms to all words in the game title.

More hints to catch up:

#40: Songs of Conquest as guessed by The_Liquid_Laser.

#39: (not Earth Defense Force, XCOM)
The monsters come out on friday, but the Earth Defense Force (ok, my memory was wrong here, looked it up, it actually is the Space Defense Department) will protect us!
Or Laundry Cleaner Man might also help.
That's just Frank.
Sohta, S-Chan, Akebi, A Plus, Megami-chan, Ramen, Officer Kobayashi, Emily and Frank.

#38: (not Wasteland)
Another recent-ish game that is the spiritual successor of an much older game, this time made by the original creator of the first game.
Fight the mutants caused by the extraterrestrial virus that was freed by climate change and the melting permafrost.
Turn-based tactical battles with base building.

#37: Resident Evil: Revelations as guessed by Machina.
How many cruise ships are there?
Returns to the two main protagonists from the first game in the series, but they are partnered up with different people and are played in different episodes.

#36:
Antonio, Imelda, Porta, Poe, Poppea, Suor Clerici, ...

Alright time for my hints

34) The first and second 3D debut of this series

First on screen then "off" screen

Other than the extra dimension the soft remake added gyro aiming and easier inventory management

33) A critical darling, but the next time these companies collaborated the result was a critical disaster

They've only officially collaborated those two times, but the developer did supervise a remake of this game's predecessor in between

The critical disaster has a name relating to an ancient city, this game has a name relating to robotics

#33 - Nier Automata?

Released at the same time as another game in the series, this handheld entry focused more on puzzles and less on action.A third installment was planned as well but scrapped. I think for the better since the link-system is tedious enough with just two

Don't know if this got answered - Oracle of Ages or Seasons I think?

You're right, and no, no one guessed on it yet.

Specifically Oracle of Ages is correct.
