I have the CDi Zelda games, and the first two do not suck at all. In fact they were praised at the time of their release.
The side scrollers were decent, but the CDi controller held it back and the animated cutscenes were horribly hilarious.
Zelda's Adventure was a victim of bad game design, but I would hardly call it unplayable. It is the worst of the 3 however (and the most rare).
I feel like the first two games would have been fine with a better control scheme, which Nintendo could have seen to. The cutscenes would have likely been replaced with text, similar to Adventure of Link. They did greenlight the games afterall, Nintendo had the power to make them change things.
Zelda's Adventure would have never existed. It would have been an entirely different game, a much better one, had Ninty gotten their hands on it. I think at this point, Nintendo just did not care when they greenlit the game. CDi was already on its way out anyway and many people forget this one exists. |
The CD-i's hardware itself may have had something to do with the games' quality suffering so much. Nintendo really should have had more involvement.

Funny thing is when they met for a progress report, Miyamoto actually liked the first two games (which were made side by side and released the same day as one another). Considering that they were competition though, I doubt Nintendo was willing to spend any extra resources to make the games better, so long as they did not cross a certain line with the characters.
