Yeah you misunderstood me. Then again, I wasn't exactly certain of my point myself, so whatever. They make plenty of custom controllers for consoles so you can find what you want anyway.
I suppose we differ on our opinions on the controllers. Personally, I much prefer the analog stick on the GCN controller, as well as the shoulder triggers. They work out much nicer for me in OOT. Also, the C stick configuration for the C buttons also works out remarkably well.
In any case, the one thing you're missing out on the most is Master Quest. You'd enjoy that I know. One note, playing Zelda 2 on my Zelda collection disk, I have found that the control stick actually works GREAT in that game. In some ways, the stick controls that game better, which is odd considering that in most platform games I'd totally use a d-pad. Part of it could be the bad placement of the d-pad on the GCN controller, but another part is just the physics of Zelda 2, how movement works. Zelda 1 on the other hand was never meant for control sticks.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
