The massive hard on that people have for LA is really baffling to me some times. Not because it's a bad game or anything, but because for some strange reason, it's seen as some shining example of how to make a Zelda game feel less stale. But the only distinguishing feature it has from say, LttP is the story. The gameplay, for all intents and purposes is IDENTICAL. At least when people mention something like MM, it had an interesting new gameplay mechanic. LA has absolutely no innovating features whatsoever.
Now, mind you, that's perfectly fine. If you're into story over gameplay, more power to ya. But that's all it is, story. Other than that, LA is LttP/the Oracles for lightweights.
Also, this makes Emcee's comments all the more confusing.
