Not that other guy, but I actually do think Zelda 1 did a lot of things the best compared to every other game in the series. Have some standout points:
>Making Rupees your ammunition means money is always relevant, up to the landing the killing blow on Ganon himself.
>Sword is strong but limited with its narrow hitbox
>Tools are a valuable addition in combat, with bombs being the standout
>Combat as a whole is simple and arcadey, with positioning being the biggest factor

The only things that suck about Zelda 1 are burning bushes and bombable walls, but not necessarily because of the argument a lot of people bring up of "Oh you have to shoot fire at every bush!" The real problem is the fire only burns the bush as it vanishes, so sometimes you're left questioning if you shot a flame where it didn't properly come in contact with it or not.
There's a Zelda classic quest that address this, in The Depths of Malice, your arrows can ping burnable bushes and bombable walls. So you're still investing a resource to go secret hunting, but it's ultimately a far faster process.

Other than that, I just don't like how turning is locked to a weird grid in Zelda 1.
Really I just like the Zelda games.

I've got one with a bunch of Links manhandling a giant cock.
