I disagree. I think that Ocarina really showed how epic the series can really be, and rounding it out with more atmosphere and character is really where the series needs to go, especially to help keep the games from feeling "flat."

I'm not saying it needs to be dialogue-heavy at all, but I do think they need to flesh out the world with some more life put into it. And while the main characters of Nintendo games have always ended up being mute (even when people are talking right to them), it'd be really nice if they could just stop doing that.
