To be honest the Legend of Zelda series is generally a flexible one, the Timeline and Nintendo's love for adding retcons, leads to near unlimited possibility to formulate plots, which leads for them to push new ideas and whatnot. Nintendo are also infamous for switching up the series, new controls and graphical styles make each individual games (well most) feel unique in their own respect.
However I feel the series' formula has stayed static, to be honest, even though it is somewhat flexible, it essentially is still rather similar despite the makeover it gets. The question really is though; how long can the series keep advancing?
There have been a lot of series' that have lost pace down the years and maybe that's just due to poor handling of that franchise but surely there comes a point, or in this case a "tipping point" were things tend to go downhill. Now people can say that the series has went downhill over the last few years but general consensus and new ideas really push the idea that Zelda is still going strong -- but for how long? This thread isn't to ponder the future, but to focus on how long the series can essentially go.
