SPOILERS regarding Skyward Sword...

KingSigy: The thing is, you can't reboot Zelda. No game in the series is exactly like another. Zelda always gets a fresh start, so any new game is just another Zelda.
TheEnglishman: Given that most games in the series take there own slant of the formula (I know there all connected, but they feel unique), I'm not sure a reboot is what the series needs. In fact, I wouldn't mind a few Zeldas that truly follow own from each other, like how Phantom Hourglass followed on from Wind Waker. It would be nice to explore one interpretation of Zelda universe for more than one game.
LightningandIce: Pretty much every other game in the series is a reboot. Some of the individual entries are connected to other individual entries, and they make references to each other, but Skyward Sword is the only one that has made any actual, official connection to any storyline. If Skyward Sword had never happened, or had never been given an "official" place in the "timeline," then any sebsequent "reboot" would have been exactly the same canonically as every second or third Zelda game to be released.
Digmbot: Rebooting Zelda? *shoots self in head with hydrogen bomb*
