This is definitely the best attitude to have, for any game!
Likewise, if a game looks outright NOT fun, you shouldn't feel obligated to play it just because you like the series.
Think of this:
Zelda II remastered as Paper Zelda II RPG, with cleaned-up charming visuals, modern RPG mechanics, and broadened mechanics!
It could actually be a solid way to bring some glory to an underrated and janky older title that doesn't really fit into the series otherwise.
