As a kid I legitimately dreaded being chased by this guy. Probably the first time a video game actually could be scary.

Why do people hate on the nerd? That's a better question.
The man doesn't hurt anyone. He spends time just doing something he loves to do and which is legitimately cool and funny.

How can you hate on someone like that?

>but many "open" games do it much better than lttp.
ALttP was never supposed to be "open world".
It has what are known as "sequence breaks" as a matter of fact, which implies there's a standard sequence to the gameplay that can cheated. Playing ALttP is all about getting new abilities through items and using those to open up new areas. Getting the Titans Mitts from Level 4 in the Dark World and using them to access Levels 5+ as an example.
Items serve like keys to the overworlds in the game.
