You are right that the game is a transitional step, a game which advanced some things over its predecessors but has other features later games would improve on, but I think it's fair to call it over-rated (but good) because of how many people hype up LttP as 'the best game ever' and such, something I have disagreed with for a long time.
And on that note, it may be worth mentioning that I've been criticizing LttP in various ways for as long as I've been mentioning it on this forum, which goes back at least to the start of the current archive in 2003, so yeah. It would surely be much harder to find posts where I praise the game than where I criticize it... :p
For a couple of the earliest examples, here are some 2003 threads where I criticize the LttP sword swing: http://tcforums.com/forums/showthread.ph...-interview , here the save system http://tcforums.com/forums/showthread.ph...ora-s-Mask , etc etc.
