Well, it depends on what "accessible" means. I thought Twilight Princess was a lot more accessible than Ocarina, since I could actually figure out puzzles by looking at them. Super Mario World was a lot more accessible than Sunshine, and is still considered one of the greatest games of all time. So if that's the kind of direction they're going, I'm fine with it, and I think Miyamoto is still worthy of the benefit of the doubt.
