I honestly think it would be a GREAT idea for the Zelda series. Think about it this way, how many more plots can they come up with before they have to completely change the series to make the plots work? I love the current series but maybe something new would be good.
They could start it out however they wanted to. Link could actually start with a family. They could start it with a completely new hero that is totally unrelated to Link in any way. They could start it with Link as a troubled person who has to fight his urges to be evil. It could be a very dark and mature game (like Assassins Creed) or it could stay in the same "gray" (mixture of dark and childish tones) that it has always been.
I think it would be awesome to see a reboot. Change it up a bit. If it doesn't work out they can always go back to what they've been doing. At most, they would have only wasted one game creation period.
