Why is Zelda so oddly compelling?

Justin Kemppainen, Minnesota Games Examiner, writes:

No, of course I'm not talking about the Princess herself, though drooling, lonely, anti-social fanboys would argue something to her level of attractiveness. It is honestly a curious question to me, why do the Zelda games remain compelling?

Okay, so, ever since 19-freakin'-86... Yes, for nearly the last twenty four years have there been Zelda titles. In all that time, nothing has changed.

Just for a moment, stay with me because this article is not intending to insult the franchise, but to discover exactly what it is that's made the games appealing.

Legend of Zelda is like Dragon Quest/Warrior.

No, not in gameplay, but in the way the storylines are and how all the games are very similar. When it boils down, if you love one Zelda game, you'll probably love all of them, just like the Dragon Quest/Warrior series.

I like how they twist the story, but leave the original elements the same. Ganon = Bad Guy, Zelda = Princess, Link = Hero. It's a classic damsel in distress story.
