You can't get your hopes up these are dark days we live in where people validate their ideas with the encouragement or discouragement of others.In the original zeldas favor it might take the longest of any of the zelda games to beat due to the two quest lines.I haven't played every zelda game though so I might be worng.

I would say that is someone that is afraid of change, but has very good taste.
It was the origin of everything and pretty much the only zelda that is original (all the others just redo the same thing over and over).

But it has it's flaws, mainly the gameplay.

First I'd assume the guy saying this is old enough to have grown up playing NES instead of N64 like the majority of people on 4chan.
Then I'd assume he naturally has played the NES Zeldas back in the day and beaten them both as a kid without any help like I did.
Then I'd assume he played and like LttP better when it came out but eventually started preferring the NES games to it because he grew up with them.
Lastly I assume he played OoT or one of the other modern Zelda games later on and was disapointed in how slow paced they were, how they weren't challenging and how the annoying helper characters took away the exploration part that Zelda games were know for by telling where to go and what to do every 5 seconds.
At least this is how it went for me.

Anyway here is an article about how Zelda games have gotten worse during the years that I fully agree with:

Not OP but the original has been my favorite in the series since I bear it last year on the virtual console. 22, but I grew up with Link's Awakening and OoT first (the later of which used to be my favorite game, but is something I can't really come back to without being bored by it.) Only, Then I got Zelda 2, Minish Cap, LttP. I like LttP and Minish Cap but only bothered to play through it once. Zelda 2 I also think is fun, but I don't like to compare it to the other games in the series since it's in a different genre all together and more of its own beast.

I haven't played Majora yet but I want to give a try, but so far the original Link's Awakening are the ones I can actually come back to.I think Zelda 1 was onto the right idea but genuinely has its unfair moments and stupid design decisions. It's one of my favorite games, but it's partially lost potential. Link's Awakening started the story emphasis in the series because of the team's influence by Twin Peaks, but I don't necessarily see it as bad at this point. Also, Link's Awakening putted an increased emphasis on the shovel, digging up the secret seashells captures some of the exploration from the original, with the incentive of getting the L-2 sword, the best in the game. So I think it did better at recapturing the spirit of the original than LttP but without the original's rough edges. Though, to me, the experience was weird since the original was reminding me of Link's Awakening.

Yeah if you add up all the pages. The actual dialogue you have to sit through is fucking nothing. You can get through any important scene in 2-3 minutes tops if you read at an average rate. I don't care if you hate the games, I just find your claims rather incredulous.

The game doesn't have "walls of text", I'm pretty sure that was his point.

You must have a hard time getting through life if what amounts to maybe 10 or so pages of written dialogue (through the whole game) feels like a chore. Have you ever re-read a book? It's essentially the same concept.
