I think Zelda's charm is that it's not an overly complex story, it'll probably get bashed on in 10 years time because of it, but I'll still be buying the games because it stuck to a simple story structure.

It's like, do we play Mario for the amazing plot of him yet again rescuing the princess?

Yes, we do. Or how else do you explain so many Mario games appearing on this "Top 8 best stories in videogames" list?

Sorry, we accept only credible sources like IGN and Gamespot in this forum.
