This is such a hot take I didn't know I shared.

Zelda games aren't bad by any stretch, in fact they seem great. But they're treated as sacred to an extent I'll never understand.

The reason they are revered is that over the last 27 years, the Legend of Zelda franchise has consistently put out one good game after the next with few, if any real blemishes on their record. After almost 3 decades of consistently putting out games that are fun, innovative, and kinda familiar all at once, the fanboys may have a minor point with their obsession of the games.
