The Answer To The Zelda Formula Split Is To Make 2D Zeldas Again
Experimenting with 3D Zelda wouldn't be a problem if Nintendo still made new 2D Zeldas.
If you love Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, that may sound like great news. But, even as a big fan of those games, I can’t help feeling like there’s a bit of a void in gaming created by the more traditional Zelda’s absence. Tears of the Kingdom makes some changes to address that, like incorporating dungeons that feel closer to traditional Zelda dungeons than the Divine Beasts did. But, ultimately, these games are a different animal than the Zeldas that came before them. That’s especially noticeable because Nintendo hasn’t released an entirely new 2D single-player Zelda game in 10 years.
They could never release a new Zelda game again for all I care, I just want a 60fps version of Twilight Princess.

Links Awakening should have demonstrated to Nintendo that the 2d games will still sell on a hybrid console. They could be pumping out new 2d titles and remakes every few years to fill those gaps between 3d releases and make everybody happy.
