The 1980s profusely apologize for not having fully-developed game theory, technology, or the foresight to appeal the sensibilities of gamers that hadn't been born yet. This is the way games were. Someone who thinks that the conventions presented in LoZ were new or unique knows nothing of the era.
LoZ and that generation of games were stepping stones on the way to better things. If you're incapable of appreciating (not necessarily enjoy, just understand) a game within the context that it was created, you shouldn't play it.
On the other side of that - Games are just better now. Stop pretending that 1990 was a time of fully-realized genius and modern games are all just soulless husks with pretty graphics.
