I think you have a lot of good ideas/points shockedfrog.
I especially agree about Classic attracting new players with the 'Zelda clone' appeal it used to have, which is a totally different audience to all this new stuff kingdoms/3d lol.
But I have to say, I would also like to see Classic classic again for nostaglia reasons. But who wouldn't.
As regarding the story - I think it is imperative to remain the imagine of level designers, rather than a global story
