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.
