I disagree. Link's Awakening and Majora's Mask (which have nothing to do with Hyrule or Zelda, much less Ganon) have the most poignant and emotional stories out of any of the other Zelda titles, except for maybe The Wind Waker.

I think you could make an argument for both experimenting in both formats. Handheld games would be better off experimenting with gimmicky, one-off ideas like linked-games (OoS and OoA) or changing your size (TMC) that won't carry on for the rest of the series. I think if Nintendo wants to alter the way future Zelda games are made or change the inherent formula they need to do it on the console to make the biggest impact.
