I love every 3D Zelda game they've released since Ocarina of Time, but didn't the developers come under attack for Link to the Past being a "cop-out" time line?

I dunno.

I don't follow fan-developer relations for Zelda very much. (probably because they're a Japanese developer and don't have much of a direct relationship with western fans, as far as I know)

I do know more than a few fans think the Zelda timeline is bull. Personally I don't have a problem with it even if it's a bit haphazard and clearly not planned in advance to work out that way, square pegs in round holes as needed.

ME going forward wouldn't have that issue though, what with the timeline so far being linear and straight-forward.

It's been my experience that the crowd that is the most vocal about the franchise leaving the galaxy are doing so because they want some kind of closure or rather more closure from the original trilogy. Yet they want the closure to be one they approve of so they almost always have a pre set cannon ending that THEY think should be used. They can't let go. They can't accept that its over we are not getting anything else. This could be the "mah Shepard crowd" who MUST have Shepard alive and sipping drinks with the Li, or it could be the Indoctrination crowd that absolutely refuse to accept that their theory isn't actually correct. That there was no hidden right ending.

 

There is no way to consolidate all three endings into a sequel. To do so Shepard must have died but there were "Elvis sightings" of Shepard for years. There can be no reapers, but they must be reapers controlled by "god" shepard and everyone is an organic/inorganic hybrid while at the same time be in either purely organic or purely mechanical with a few exceptions here and there. In other words the 4 endings have multiple mutually exclusive elements to them to consolidate.

 

This leaves only the canon ending and this would render 3/4 possible endings moot and thus rendering people's choices irrelevant pissing off all the customers that didn't choose X. This isn't something that will "heal" the disappointment over the endings in ME3 it will exacerbate them. 

 

The ONLY rational option is to change settings create an environment where the fate of the milky way is an unknown and makes sure the milky way population in Andromeda has already left the galaxy before the crucible was fired so people were out of range of the organic/inorganic meld space magic.  This way the effects of the ME3's are independent of ME:A. It allows for references to ME3's endings without the consequences being felt on ME:A setting. But as I stated at the top this wont give some players the validation they want for their own head canon endings.
