Ill admit, the last couple of years of the OG Wii's lifespan was rather rough. Back when the XBox 360 was controlling the narrative of gaming through online 1st person shooters and lack of solo player games. People were obsessed with DLC and trolling online tournaments. Nintendo was in a creative rut when they dropped Skyward Sword that turned off a lot of fans of old Zelda games. Miyamoto knew then that he had to totally reshape the franchise, and how gaming is going.
He went to work, and made BotW into the living masterpiece that it is. Now a lot of Nintendo haters are quiet as church mice when discussing this topic.
