How do you think Nintendo can keep its classic franchises fresh without losing their essence?

Mario and Zelda remain evergreen, but how can Nintendo innovate without alienating fans? Should they experiment with new genres - imagine an Animal Crossing RPG or stick to polish‑centric meta expansions? Could modular DLC change Smash Bros. dynamics while preserving core mechanics? What about more mature storytelling in Metroid or Pokémon switching to a live‑action RPG style? How would you balance nostalgia callbacks (like retro art modes) against fresh gameplay systems?
