So, yeah. I was looking at the Castlevania reboot that Konami is working on, and a sudden thought leapt to mind.

Why not reboot Zelda?

The series is being crushed under its own convoluted weight. Staples are being endlessly re-used hideously, the storyline and links between the games are just horrible, all the character are cardboard and emotionless, Ganondorf is about as scary as that yellow thing from Sesame street, etc.

Rebooting the series means there would be the perfect opportunity to a) set-up a decent over-arching storyline, b) the ability to try out new things, and c) no need to be restricted by precedents of the previous games. All a Zelda game needs is Link, exploration, a sword, Stalfos and keys. Anything else you can name has been vacant from at least one Zelda game, pretty much.
