I think most of us agree Zelda peaked at the N64 days, about 15 years ago. But is it in danger of falling into obscurity/losing all but its most loyal fans? Say ZeldaU and Zelda 3DS are just so-so Zelda titles...how dangerous would that be to Zelda's existance?
I think Zelda will always have the most loyal portion of its fanbase--the hundred thousand or so of us who'll stick with it to the very end (if there is an end). But I really hope it pulls an OoT and grabs the attention of the whole gaming community with the upcoming ZeldaU. The series just isn't as popular as it used to be...SS sold a decent amount of copies, but if you think about how many years of production went into it, and compare it to much smaller-scale games that've sold many more...and Skyrim, which also spent 5 years in production but sold I-don't-know-how-many-more copies than SS...when I look at the statistics, I feel like Zelda might be in some trouble.
