pretty overrated game
heck, not just the game, the entire series.
Heck, even Zelda is a horrible protagonist, don't know why people like him
Metroid is a pretty cool guy, he shoots monsters and doesn't afraid of anything.
Honestly Zelda games are good, just some of the more modern ones have taken a too hand-holdy direction. By modern ones I pretty much mean Skyward Sword.
Link Between Worlds was excellent, and we need more games in the series like that one. Although we don't know much about it, I hope Zelda U/NX is basically just a huge Zelda 1 style open world. That was what they implied it was like, but we don't know for sure.
