Nintendo always put gameplay first and sacrifice storyline and such?

[Soleron]

Zelda was never about storyline. How complex was Zelda I's story?

I loved Zelda I, liked Zelda 3 less because they added more story and more running about doing nothing before you get the freedom to roam, and it's been downhill in my eyes since then through Twilight Princess. The franchise now belongs to an entirely different group of gamers than went it began - the epic story fanatics.

Bring back Zelda I's constant action; no exposition.
