As much as I want to disagree with the points, Rol is right.
This is what ultimately makes it NOT the best Zelda ever created. My personal favorite is still A Link to the Past.

Lolz you actually fell for this pessimistic crap. Lamest trick in the book. I could make a hundred things i hated about LTTP/OOT/MM thread if I wanted  with completely "valid" points and make it sound like the worst games ever.

Starting the list for LTTP:

1.) Searching for the secret passage to the castle is utterly pointless and filler.

2.) Zelda keeps giving you the same advice to every minute to get into Castle, pausing the game and disrupting the flow of the opening sequence..

3.) .....The advice isn't even helpful. Just says there is a secret passage somewhere

4.) Whats even worst is that the passage in hidden stupidly under some ordinary bush, basically had to basically lawn mow the castle to find it, and by accident.

5.) Link's dad is the lamest character, couldn't even make it 3 feet through the passage.

6.) Because of the pointless tasks above, it takes way longer to obtain your sword than the original.

7.) It doesn't really matter anyhow because the sword-play is basically the same as the orginal

8.) Some guards attack you, some completely ignores your presence. Stupid inconsistencies had me confused.

9.) Finally finding Zelda felt link a boring chore, because the castle layout was so lame and bland and the first boss was a push-over.

10.) And which rewards you with some annoying escort mission in the dark.

Look I already on ten I'm not even finished with the first castle.

The Thunder Cloud is annoying, because you just go there to get one thing and then have to return. Several times. The things I listed are bad, because they are mostly boring. The first time you play through the game you might not perceive these tasks as such (although some people certainly do), but it becomes more obvious on additional playthroughs how much of a filler plenty of these things are.

I know that ALttP list is meant to be over the top, but it's just silly. Nobody would agree with these points, but people do agree with at least a good chunk, if not the vast majority, of my list.

We can put it to the test, if you want. I'll counter these ten ALttP points and you can try to do the same with (parts of) my list.

• 1. It's a short introduction to the game.
• 2. If you aren't acting like an idiot, you'll only get a reminder once, at most twice.
• 3. The advice is helpful, if you aren't a complete idiot. Sorry, but you really have to be stupid, if you can't handle an almost linear opening section.
• 4. The surroundings give it away which bush you have to lift.
• 5. He's Link's uncle and his failure suggests that the castle is a dangerous place. It all has a purpose.
• 6. Contradicts point 5. Regardless, we are still only talking about a timeframe of five minutes. That's acceptable.
• 7. Being able to swing the sword at an angle instead of stabbing, as well as a charged special attack, is a significant and welcome change to the gameplay, because it gives the player more control. Just like being able to walk into eight directions, rather than just four.
• 8. Guards with a knife just walk around, guards with swords will go after you. Not hard to figure out, provided you are not an idiot. I know, it's harsh, but this list was asking for this kind of answers.
• 9. Dungeons in classic Zelda are never boring and there isn't even a boss, just a regular enemy that is stronger than the rest you face throughout the castle. This enemy takes away one of your hearts with each hit, possibilities to replenish your health are scarce at this point in the game, so pushover isn't quite accurate.
• 10. That's not an escort mission, because you don't have to watch out for Zelda. She cannot be attacked, she cannot fall behind. The game plays just as before.
