Zelda (1 or 2) isn't really a good example of what the majority of games were like BITD though. Even still it's simpler and less time consuming than it's modern counterpart, IMO. Most video games were linear and you could play through them in an hour or less. The average game now-a-days takes double digit hours to complete. Compare Super Mario Bros. to Mario Galaxy. Metal Gear to Metal Gear Solid 4, etc..
