No, they didn't, they don't even acknowledge them. They just had to license the characters to Philips because of the fallout of a deal they had with them (a deal which incidentally led to Sony making the Playstation. But that's another story).

Well, they are actually talking about an all new Zelda game for the 3DS already (in addition to the Majora's Mask 3DS remake). As for Metroid, I hope for Metroid Dread very badly (or a Super Metroid remake... like those Super Metroid HD screenshots you posted some time ago).

And as for that, it's simple- Microsoft was afraid of Sony's monopoly in console gaming, so it decided to back the Dreamcast by providing Windows as the primary OS for the Dreamcast. When Dreamcast looked all set to fail because of the PS2's massive hype, Microsoft decided to develop its own console, the Xbox, which eventually led to the Xbox 360.

Zelda Wind Waker, because I feel the art style was a perfect fit for the Zelda universe and to this day the game still looks amazing Zelda Link to the Past, First Zelda I ever played and still like to play to this day a masterpiece Zelda Majora's Mask, it was tough between this and OOT but this game was so strange and different and I loved every minute of it

Or you know, maybe because it had an original and daring design with near-perfect execution, as well as a profoundly dark atmosphere with a surprisingly powerful story and narrative.

All rolled into one.

All rolled into one.

First of all, everything you just said and more could be said about Ocarina Of Time, only Ocarina of Time came first. Majora's Mask wouldn't even exist if it weren't for Ocarina Of Time. Majora's Mask was more of a spin-off of OOT than anything. Second of all, the VAST majority of Majora's Mask's graphics, sounds, enemies, items, and overall design was copy and pasted right from Ocarina Of Time. I wouldn't call Majora's Mask design "original and daring". The only truly original parts of the game were having to go back in time over and over(which got annoying at times) and the mask system which was pretty awesome. And I'm not even sure if I would call the whole "going back in time over and over again" concept truly original. The idea was clearly influenced by the movie Groundhog Day.

Overall

1) ALttP

2) TP

3) OoS

It's the only Zelda game with no flaw + does everything a Zelda game should do really really well. It's pure. What I mean by this is there's no dead overworld (TP), tedious exploration process as it requires you to re-kill bosses over and over (MM), train/boat rides which, although not "awful", equates to less replayability imo (WW/PH/ST). And others like Minish Cap don't have that amazing dungeon design, etc.

TP second for having the best temple design of the entire series, despite a boring overworld with bad design.

WW/PH/ST/SS islands i.e. not interconnected world >>> road-block infested TP overworld. OoT and MM does an interconnected world really well, it's at least not a messy cluster**** despite including road blocks which kills the idea of an interconnected world, it makes more sense to make it level based with back-tracking elements if it's linear anyway.
