Yeah, for reals. I think the anticipation is another case of savoring nostalgia for too long without, y'know, actually replaying the game sometime in the last 10 years.
However, Eiji saying he wanted to tackle the conception that zelda games need to be single player has me hoping the next installment will be akin to the design philosophies of the New Super Mario series.
edit:
Also, what bums me more than anything is that I didn't see a catalyst for userbase growth in this lineup. The WiiU is faltering, and despite what nerd say I felt the Wii's success gave way to a nice variety of software over the years that I personally enjoyed. By comparison this trajectory seems to suggest a gamecube situation with drastically less third party support.
