I remember when I heard that idea, that it sounded stupid, and I truly didn't want to see something like that happen! But after thinking it through, you can tell it's not that bad of an idea at all.

Some things to consider are that, even if they do a reboot of the series (a Zelda outside the current "universe", if you will), there is no need to stop making games that take place in the "universe" we currently know of.

I do believe, of course, they can still do a lot in the current universe, especially lately when they've been trying to tie up games together more.

But I do see how the series could benefit from a reboot. I think people, fans, are just scared cuz it's obviously a big change, or so you'd think. But the fact is that a reboot could take the BEST elements of the game as we know it, and make something great. We know that the whole timeline thing isn't as neat as it could be. It's impossible for it to be the case. Back when the game was being made, they had no idea it'd have this much success, they could have never known they should prepare to make a coherent, connecting series of games that worked within the same universe and went on a time line. Even though they say they have a master time line and so on, I think we know it's just something they started making up years after the first few games...

I truly think, with the fan base they have now, the success, knowing what ideas and character types work, with all the information and experience they have now, they could make something great. They could create a new universe, in which the games tie up neatly, even in small details. They could have one game bring in a mystery, without explaining it, and then another game is released 15 year later, set before the other one, which explains it properly. Stuff like that, which I think people truly enjoy, especially fans.

I wouldn't mind it at all right now. I do love the games that have come out so far, I still have plenty of them I want to play, but I think the series could benefit from a reboot, a lot of great stuff can come out of it, and fans shouldn't be scared of such an idea.
