Well one I feel people should stop shitting on or whining about is Zelda II; that was a superb game and most who played it at the time recognize it as such, but people have retroactively come to dislike it because it's the most difficult of the bunch and doesn't match the style of the other Zelda games (which was not at all a standardized thing when Zelda II came out).
Zelda II features just about the smoothest controls and best combat and hitboxes of any 8bit game I've ever played.
