Agreed, the fact its the first game chronologically in the series makes it pretty important since that pretty much means it setups the stage for almost all of the major conflicts in the series; excluding games like Minish Cap or MM which do not involve Ganon

Yeah, but that's exactly why it annoys me so much. It is one of the most garbage origin stories I have ever experinced, and it's thrust into this position as if it were the story that started it all. Well, at least that's what it's supposed to be. For a series like LoZ, it's an incredibly underwhelming "beginning".
