Zelda 1 also happens to be a very shitty game. Just because the first game did not have puzzles doesn't mean that Zelda isn't about puzzles. Because it  quite clearly is all about puzzle solving. 

That's like saying Metroid isn't about puzzle solving because the first game did not have puzzles. You can have both puzzles and exploring in one game you know. Play Metroid Prime 1, 2 & 3. 

 

Zelda 1 is better than most current zelda games. And that "shitty game" is steering the direction of the next Zelda. Metroid isn't about puzzle solving either. I've beaten the primes.

Zelda 1 has some amazingly shitty game design plans. If that game came out today with ALBW graphics it wouldn't even score 70% on metacritic. It's so flawed that it's barely playable without a guide. A good lesson on how to NOT make games. Let's stop being nostalgic about the past please. 

And this game is not steering the direction of the new Zelda. Just because there's a scene in the game that resembles some art design of the first game... That means nothing. I can guarentee you there will be puzzles. You want us to explore an empty world? Well, that will get boring quickly. 

And Metroid definitely is about puzzles, the modern Metroid games at least. Puzzles, exploration and bosses. The funny thing is that the modern Metroid games have barely been about Metroid. They were shoehorned in the Prime trilogy. I don't even see Metroids as a necessary story line for a Metroid game lol. It's never even explained how a Metroid reached planet Talon (when the comet struck, so before the Space Pirates arrived). Even worse, in Prime 3 it is implied that Metroid Prime came from planet Phaaze. How did Metroids reach Phaaze?
