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. 

This. The original NES Zelda has not aged well.
