It was the beginning of the end. It was the game that opened the floodgates and filled the Zelda fanbase with tasteless zoomers. We got one more good Zelda game in the form of Twilight Princess, but after that Nintendo capitulated to the zoomers and the franchise was destroyed.

Ever noticed how most BOTW fans also like Wind Waker and vice versa? There's a reason for that. The people who like those games are the ones who can tolerate a barren, empty, open world and can entertain themselves for hours on end just running around doing nothing. They don't even notice how repetitive, poorly designed, and lacking in interesting content both games are.

Wind Waker didn't kill the franchise right away, but it lurked in the background like a malignant tumor, and the moment traditional Zelda faltered with Skyward Sword, the tumor spread and took over the whole body. Now the franchise is just zoomer Zelda wearing traditional Zelda as a skin-suit despite having no understanding of what made it good.

Curse Skyward Sword for failing in the way it did. That game actually had potential. If it just had a little more time in the oven it might have been decent enough to save traditional Zelda. But no... instead it had to completely shit the bed and leave the door wide open for zoomer Zelda to take over. And now all is lost. Zelda is dead.
