I really kinda get their point about F-Zero though? What new thing would you do with it?
The prophecy and themes of zelda might rehash every game but the gameplay itself always has a unique gimmick.
Ocarina - first 3d game
Majora - timey wimey loop gimmick
Wind Waker - The best sailing/pirate combat game to have ever been made and you can't deny it.
Twilight Princess - Transformation
Skyward Sword - Motion controls (the worst gimmick here and the weakest of all the titles imo)
Breath of the Wild - Physics based and open world combat
Tears of the Kingdom - Completely gamebreaking contraptions
There is a distinct gimmick here that actually warrants "this is a new and definitely different game to play" each time, even if the story beats and prophecy and good vs evil is rehashed each time.
I mean yeah the reason they can always find something for Zelda is definitely the money printer. But F-Zero is more rigidly controlled in terms of "what gameplay can we add?" because it's a racing game and always needs to adhere to being a racing game.
Ironically I think the best direction to go with F-Zero is actually to NOT make a racing game but instead make a Captain Falcon game that is open world bounty hunter stuff and simply has racing as an element of it. A story arc where he enters the races because it gets him closer to his target who is in charge of the races and only the winners get to meet them.
I feel like there's plenty of space for some kind of racing management thing where you send drivers on bounty hunter missions to raise cash for car development. I need to get around to watching the goofy F Zero: Legend of the Falcon anime lol

People would love a 3d action game with Falcon.

Didn't Rock and Roll Racing have super light management mechanics in the GP mode where you could spend money to improve your car between races?
