If that did happen, the core essence of Zelda would forever be contaminated. Yes, Zelda games need change. But they can change while still adhering to the core essence. Kinda like with what PH did:
PH had a few interesting changes, but it was still a Zelda game, and it had that "core Zelda" feel to it.

What that article was suggesting is that the core essence be radically changed. Signing treaties? Being an older adult Link?

I dunno, maybe its just me, but if Zelda games went to that extreme...

I do believe however, that a true Wii Zelda is coming soon

I suppose you can interpret this different ways, or take it with a grain of salt, but Twilight Princess was said to be "the last game of it's kind". I expect some changes for the better, some new ideas, and some general experimenting in the new Zelda game, but I'd rather not be King of Hyrule.
