I don't hate it but I don't know enough to love it either.
The only ones I played to completion were Ocarina and Majora, both on an n64 emulator. And I played Ocarina another 3 times afterwards, so its fair to say I liked it.
I tried Zelda 1 but its clearly a game either designed so you would buy a strategy guide that just tells you where the things you need are, or it was built as a social experience so you would share with others what you found out. None of these two methods translate well to the lonely world of gaming we have today.
I didn't play another, but I would say I liked ocarina and majora for what they were: baby easy nintendo games that do what they know like no other, and are worth more for the presentation and feeling of playing than for any particular element of the games isolated. They are more than the sum of its parts in that regard.
