I don't hate LttP, but I prefer both the two games that came before it (Zelda 1/2) and the two that came after it (OoT/MM). They were more ambitious and interesting.
And well it plays well, I thought the two Oracle games did its style of gameplay better.

So yes, it's not bad. But its far from the magnun opus of the series. It doesn't stand out, it's s "just alright".

I feel like they didn't lean quite as hard into the whacky/funny character design prior to Aonuma getting completely control. Sure, a lot of them have slightly quirky, odd, cartoony designs. The game just doesn't beat you over the head with it. And during this period Terada, Osawa, Imamura and Koizumi weren't afraid to fuck around. Look at this. A headless guard selling ghosts, surrounded with empty liquor bottles at his feat.
