Do Zelda games have bad or cliched stories?

It is a very fine distinction which a lot of pople don't make, but it's still there.

Think of the plot as a skeleton for a story, or a path down which the story walks. The story is what you experience. The plot is merely what happens.

Hm, that didn't make a lot of sense. Give me time to come up with something better.

 

 You're out of time.

Seriously though, the difference is huge. Yes, bigger than 2,038,582 (anybody get the referance?).

 

All games have a plot, and it's pretty much equal.

Zelda:

The Princess is kidnapped and the kingdom of Hyrule is under attack by an evil person's minions. The hero needs to kill the evil person.

 

Fire Emblem: PoR

Daein is attacked by enemy forces. To save their country, the group of heroes needs to drive the enemy forces out of the land, and kill the enemy leaders to make sure it doesn't happen again.

 

Super Mario

Princess is kidnapped, Mushroom Kingdom is under attack by evil minions of Bowser. Defeat the minions and then Bowser to bring peace back.

 

But those games do by no means have the same story. There's an enourmous difference between them.

 

I kinda went away from my own point there:

Story and plot is completely different. 

 

It's obvious what story is, but what plot really is, is this.

 

Plot: What you need to know to sit down and play the game/watch the movie.
