Can't answer, as there is no logic regarding factors that could make a Zelda game bad. I can, however, say what would be at the bottom of my list... but I'll have to think about it first.
That being said, out of all of the titles, AoL was definitely the worst in that it did not feel like a Zelda game. Nintendo tried something new, they failed horribly, and so they never went back to that formula, for good reason. If AoL was a good title, I'm sure we would have seen SOMETHING like it in later installments, but we did not, for good reason. For any of you out there whose favorite title is AoL, I suggest you look into some other mainstream RPG titles, as you will probably enjoy them more than any Zelda game.
It's called the magic system. And also, I completely disagree with these here post. All Zelda titles have something different in them, so it's no good use bagging on a game just because it's different. Furthermore, Nintendo far-from failed at something new, the game received well reception by many raters and fans back in the day. Why? Because it was the second title. Even after the release of games that remain similar to the original, I can garuntee you that an early Zelda fan would not look back at their thoughts of the game in vain. In similar words, most AoL haters have played most of the other games first, and, as I said, bash it because it's different from what they've experienced before.
It belongs in the series just as much as any other Zelda game, and hipsters? Sorry, but the ratings don't lie, and the majority of AoL fans are not hipsters by the least bit. They're just smart enough to put the rating into perspective, also acknowledging that it has many more things to praise than hate.Okay, I'll give you the magic system. To be quite frank, there is no good use on bagging on anything, but we do it. This entire thread is dedicated to it, so don't pop in here and act like I've done something terrible. Also, I AM an early Zelda fan, and I DO look back at my thoughts on the game in vain. I bash on the game for being different because it was TOO different. I'm not even saying that AoL is a bad game, I'm just saying it's a game that doesn't belong in the series. We all know that ratings lie, and as far as the AoL fanbase goes, there will always be hipsters.
