It's a game that bigger developers don't have the balls to make anymore. Not that I mind story in my game, and the original isn't even my favorite Zelda, but I love the fact that the game just starts and you can go do whatever right away. No intro scene, no blocked off sections (not counting areas you need items for), no artificial padding. It's a fun video game that let's the player decide how to handle every objective without muddling the screen with tips or giving any indication of where to go WITHOUT have the player feel helpless.
