Why does a quote that stated the Gameplay was more important than the Story mean that this
SS will be 'light' on plot or story? All Zelda games (except
MM) are pretty light on plot, but there is still a story to them. And it doesn't mean Nintendo is going out of their way to introduce elements that totally confuse the TL. It just happens that the new games have storylines that ignore the Details of previous games when it comes to story.
I'll also say that at least one new race (either human or spirit) will get introduced in
SS. It's been trend for over a decade.
Zora, goron, gerudo, shiekah, hylian, fairies, kokiri, deku, tokay, subrosians, rito, koroks, zuna, minish, wind tribe, Twili, light spirits, locomo, oocca, ect.
