So the so called "big" gaming series nowadays have annual releases of some kind, some may be a two year wait, but they're all still fairly regular releases with DLC to fill fill the gap in between. Now Zelda games are slightly different, they tend to wait awhile between their main console releases: MM - WW (three years) WW - TP (three years) TP - SS (five years) and so on. Of course we do have handheld titles to fill in the gap, but here I want to purely focus on the main titles.
Now I ask this question because I see some dissatisfaction with annual releases from time to time; two of the main examples I'm talking about are Assassins Creed and Call of Duty. I reference these because I too share some of the same views. Annual releases, while it pleases my appetite, it sometimes takes away the shine and grandeur of a big release. Sometimes it's a case of getting too much and you kind of get sick of the series in a way. There's also a problem with too much familiarity and the lack of new things being introduced. I think it's because of this that I somewhat like that we have to wait, it builds anticipation and allows for more precious time to be spent on the game.
Then again though there is a line and a 4 or 5 year wait is too much and in some cases I would like for a more consistent and quicker release. However what are your thoughts on the matter? Do you like the fact that Zelda isn't annual or would you actually like this to be a thing?
