Miyamoto doesn't touch the franchise anymore. I know people beef with his idea of minimal story, that that's a decade old point that has since doesn't mean much
Indeed. People need to stop blaming everything they don't like about an EPD game on Miyamoto. He isn't in charge of Zelda anymore. Nowadays he plays the games and gives suggestions and feedback, but he isn't actively leading teams.
This pretty much sums it up. The most obvious, mundane explanation is that it's Metroid Prime Trilogy and 2D Zelda, but given the Skyward Sword HD tease, maybe it actually is Zelda Trilogy HD.
Why would they do a zelda trilogy if they can sell those games seperatly spread over many years. That's different with metroid where the prime games wouldn't sell millions each on their own.
