We underestimate how many people have not completed some of the games in this series. For example, the water temple in OoT. Exploring a large open world with dungeons that were totally new to many players made her necessary. Often, I have read and heard from other players of distinct age groups that she never helped enough.
For me, The Wind Waker is one of the bravest sequels I have come across. Its ideas of how to reimagine the formula and ensure players could make through the whole experience (which is greater than the sum of its parts) is noteworthy.
I commend Nintendo for experimenting and taking risks with each release. The quality bar of this series is incredible, I fear we take it for granted.
